Islamabad's Climate

Islamabad, Pakistan's capital nestled below the Margalla Hills, has a humid subtropical climate that is milder than the southern plains thanks to its elevation and proximity to the mountains. Summers (May–June) are hot, with highs often 38–40°C, followed by the July–August monsoon, which brings the heaviest rainfall in Pakistan along with frequent thunderstorms. Winters (December–February) are cool and damp, with nights near 2–4°C, occasional hail or rain from western disturbances, and snow possible on nearby peaks.
