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.

In addition, the advisory highlighted the potential for flooding in hilly torrents and streams in Balochistan and southern Punjab, specifically in D.G. Khan and Rajanpur.

Karachi and other coastal districts of Sindh are currently experiencing cloudy weather, with light rainfall or drizzle anticipated in some areas. The port city will remain cloudy and humid over the next 24 hours, with temperatures expected to reach up to 35°C and humidity levels around 70%. Winds are blowing at a speed of 18 kilometers per hour, according to the Met Office.

Karachi Ranked Second Riskiest Tourist City

According to weather experts, Karachi may witness a series of heavy rainfall, with thunder, from July 30 to August 3.

Several cities in Punjab, including Gujrat, Daska, and Wazirabad, have already received heavy rainfall. Wet weather is also expected to continue in Quetta, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Kashmir, and Gilgit Baltistan.
