Islamabad witnessed a surprising and powerful hailstorm on April 16, 2025, which shocked many residents. While the sudden weather change brought relief from the recent heatwave, it also caused serious damage across the city.
Big chunks of hail hit the city with heavy rain and strong winds. Many cars had damaged windshields, broken, dented roofs, and solar panels were also affected. Tree branches snapped, and the roads quickly turned slippery, making driving difficult.
This hailstorm came after three scorching hot days, so the cool weather was a welcome change. However, the damage caused by the storm turned the joy into worry for many.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned that this rain and thunderstorm spell might continue until April 20, so people should be careful, especially while driving or parking their vehicles outdoors.
This unusual weather is a reminder that we should always stay alert — nature can change its mood anytime!
