Rainfall is expected across several parts of Pakistan as authorities continue to monitor elevated water levels and low-level flooding at key barrages along the Indus River.
According to the Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) Lahore, rainfall is expected at various locations in Punjab, Balochistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir. The weather is likely to remain unsettled in several areas, with the possibility of scattered showers and heavier rainfall at some locations.
The FFD reported that low-level flooding is continuing at several important barrages, including Kalabagh, Chashma, Taunsa and Guddu. Water levels at these locations remain elevated, prompting authorities to maintain close monitoring of river flows and changing weather conditions.
The expected rainfall could affect water levels in rivers, streams and other waterways, particularly in areas that receive heavier or prolonged showers. Increased runoff may further raise water levels and increase the risk of localized flooding in vulnerable locations.
The Flood Forecasting Division is closely monitoring river conditions and providing updates to relevant authorities to help them assess and respond to potential flood risks.
Residents living near rivers, canals, low-lying areas and vulnerable waterways have been advised to remain cautious and follow instructions issued by local administrations. Authorities are also expected to remain alert as the weather system develops.
People travelling through areas vulnerable to heavy rain or flooding are encouraged to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts, road conditions and river levels before beginning their journeys.
While rainfall may provide relief from hot and humid weather in some parts of the country, heavier showers could increase runoff and put additional pressure on already elevated waterways.
With the monsoon season continuing, authorities have urged citizens to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions in areas where flooding risks remain elevated.
