Climate Chart: Islamabad (Pakistan)

Climate overview

Temperature

January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, at 9.8 °C, while the highest monthly mean is June at 30.6 °C. These values describe average temperatures across each month, not typical daytime maximums, so they do not show the full range visitors may experience within a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 21.1 °C. It provides a compact summary of the calendar months, but is not a day-weighted annual average or a forecast for any particular visit.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in August at 5.86 mm/day and lowest in December at 0.84 mm/day. These are daily average amounts within the respective months, not monthly rainfall totals; they do not indicate how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet conditions on a particular day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean daily rainfall is 2.65 mm/day. This summary is useful for broad context, but cannot describe individual downpours or the timing of rainfall.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest monthly average in June at 12.19 hours/day, and its lowest in January at 7.54 hours/day. The figures can help frame expectations for outdoor daylight planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine averages is 9.82 hours/day per day. It summarizes the calendar months and does not establish how clear or sunny any individual day will be.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in January at 0.11 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly means is 0.01 mm/day per day. These small average amounts do not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, lasting snow cover or skiing conditions.

Best Travel Time Guide for Islamabad, Pakistan: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, December is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.84 mm/day; this does not guarantee dry days, so keep plans flexible. Rain preparation is particularly relevant in August, when the mean daily amount is 5.86 mm/day. Neither average tells you how frequently rain occurs or how much may fall in a particular shower. If cooler monthly mean temperatures are your priority, consider January, with a mean of 9.8 °C; it is an average, not a daytime maximum or a promise about conditions on your dates. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine duration, June has the highest mean daily sunshine at 12.19 hours/day, while January has the lowest at 7.54 hours/day. These sunshine averages do not measure day length or guarantee clear skies.

The recorded mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly average in January at 0.11 mm/day. This is limited guidance for travel: an average snowfall amount cannot tell you whether snow will fall during your visit, or establish snow depth, cover or activity conditions.
