Chitral

 In contrast to more southerly valleys of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Chitral has a dry Mediterranean climate with almost no rainfall during summers. Precipitation occurs mainly from spring thunderstorms brought about by western frontal systems. In the winter the night time temperature occasionally drops to −10 C. Winter snowfall in the town can be quite heavy with an accumulation of up to two feet being quite common, at higher elevations snowfall can reach as high as 20 metres (70 ft)

Unlike the rest of Pakistan where cricket dominates, polo and soccer are more popular in Chitral.
