The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms in many parts of the country today. According to the weather department, several provinces are expected to experience rainfall along with strong winds and thunder, while some areas may receive heavy downpours.
Rain is expected in Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir. Weather officials have advised people to remain cautious, especially in areas where heavy rainfall could affect daily life and road conditions.
The department has said that Tharparkar, Umerkot, Mirpurkhas, and nearby districts are likely to receive heavy rain. In Karachi, light rain or drizzle is expected, which may provide temporary relief from the warm weather but could also cause slippery roads during peak travel hours.
Authorities have also issued a warning about the possibility of flooding in streams and nullahs in Dera Ghazi Khan and northeastern Balochistan. Residents living near these areas have been advised to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rainfall.
In Punjab, continuous rain in the upper parts of the province has caused water levels in rivers to rise. Officials are closely monitoring the situation to reduce the risk of flooding and respond quickly if conditions worsen.
Emergency services and local authorities have been asked to remain prepared in case of weather-related incidents. People are encouraged to follow official weather updates, avoid flooded roads, and take necessary safety precautions during storms.
The weather department will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. Citizens are advised to stay informed, remain careful during heavy rain, and cooperate with local authorities to ensure their safety throughout the ongoing wet weather conditions.
