Multan is a large city located in the central part of Pakistan on the
banks of the Chenab River. Multan is located in the province of
Punjab. Multan is known as the City of Sufis or the City of Saints
because of the many shrines and mausoleums that can be found in the
city. Multan is the most important economic center in this part of
Pakistan, mainly because of its situation on the Chenab River and the
good infrastructure around the city. There is a lot of agriculture
around the city, cotton and grain are mainly cultivated here as well

mausoleums several buildings dating back to the British Raj (colonial

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
