The climate of Pakistan is best described through seasons. Winter lasts from November to March, and has semi-cool temperatures. But, it is still warm in comparison to winter temperatures in other countries.

From April to July, Pakistan experiences extreme temperatures and monsoon conditions. Monsoon season brings most of the country’s rainfall. Rain has caused intence flooding issues in previous years.

Highs and lows vary by season. In January, the average low can be below freezing. In the summer, temperatures can reach up to the low 50’s.

  • Islamabad – The average high in Islamabad in June is in the high 20’s. The average low is in the 10’s for January. The capital receives an average of 6 inches of rainfall between July and August.
  • Karachi – The average high temperature in Karachi is in the low-30’s. Temperatures typically reach their peak in the months of May and June. The average low is in the teens for December and January. The city receives its highest rainfall in August, and will get anywhere from 2 to 5 centimeters of rainfall.

Travel to Pakistan, for UK citizens is not recommended. Due to political unrest and terrorism, avoid travel to the region.

Peshawar, Karachi and Quetta are a magnets for rebels and terrorist attacks. Islamabad is the single-safest city in Pakistan. Like most countries or cities, there are safe and unsafe areas.

Located in Sindh and built around 2500 BC, Mohenjo Daro is known as the, ‘Lost City of Pakistan’. The Indus city has attracted archaeologists and travellers alike for centuries. With no real, identifiable historical significance, the province leaves visitors with more questions.

The ancient city was built on elevated ground in the Larkana district of Sindh. Mohenjo Daro has no evidence of government. Archaeologists believe that it was likely a city-state, governed by elected officials and leaders.

The city’s heyday was believed to have been between 2500 BC and 1900 BC. Though it was unknown until its discovery in 1921, the province’s well-preserved history and charming architecture makes it a major hot-spot.

Pakistan is a popular destination. But, it’s important to ensure you have everything you need for your trip.

  • Insect Repellent – Mosquitoes and malaria can be a problem in some parts of Pakistan. An insect repellent will help to reduce the risk of disease.
  • Power Converter – Bring a converter if you’re planning on using any electronics.
  • Sun Cream – The sun is especially deceiving in Pakistan. Whether you’re trekking through desert or cruising the coast, sun cream is essential.

If you are in Pakistan and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
