NDMA Issues Heavy Rainfall Alert for July 28-31

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a cautionary advisory predicting heavy rainfall across Pakistan from July 28 to 31, triggered by monsoon currents entering from the Arabian Sea.

The NDMA warned that the new monsoon system could lead to flash floods in various parts of the country. Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Galliyat, Murree, Gilgit Baltistan, and Kashmir are expected to experience heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms, which could result in flooding of torrents and streams and pose a risk of landslides.
