The Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued a warning for the 2025 monsoon season, forecasting above-normal rainfall and elevated temperatures across large parts of the country, raising concerns over potential flooding and environmental disruption.
Speaking at a briefing in Islamabad, Director General Mehar Sahibzad said that unusually heavy rains are anticipated between July and September in central and northern Punjab, eastern Balochistan, and upper Sindh. In contrast, southern Punjab, northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan are likely to experience below-average rainfall.
The department also cautioned about an impending rise in temperatures, especially in Sindh, Balochistan, and southern Punjab. “We are closely monitoring the risk of rapid glacier melt and glacial lake outburst floods, which could trigger flash floods in northern areas,” said Sahibzad.
Agriculture and energy infrastructure are expected to be vulnerable, with risks of crop damage, reduced fruit yields, and potential stress on electricity transmission systems.
