Could black rain happen in Pakistan after Iran attacks?

Previously, PMD putting rumours to rest of possible ‘black rain’ in Pakistan clarified that there is no possibility of such a phenomena in Pakistan.

After the recent severe bombing on oil installations in Iran, unusual pollution has been created in the environment, while in other countries of the region, concerns are also being expressed regarding possible weather effects.

According to experts, due to this situation, there is a possibility that polluted particles may reach some areas of Pakistan through western winds.

The Meteorological Department says that western winds coming from the direction of Iran will enter Pakistan in the next few days, carrying with them the polluted particles present in the atmosphere.
