The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a weather advisory predicting significant rainfall across various regions of Pakistan due to moist currents from the Bay of Bengal and a westerly wave approaching the country. Karachi, along with other parts of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, is expected to experience heavy rains accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms in the coming days.
From September 2 to 4, heavy rainfall may cause urban flooding in low-lying areas, landslides in hilly regions, and disruptions due to increased water flow in local streams and nullahs. Travelers and tourists are advised to exercise caution, and authorities are urged to remain vigilant to mitigate potential damage. The PMD has also advised farmers to plan their activities accordingly to avoid any adverse effects on their crops.
Key areas at risk include Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Sialkot, Murree, and regions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan, where landslides and flooding could significantly impact infrastructure and travel. The PMD emphasizes that the situation will be closely monitored, and updates will be provided as needed.
