The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a fresh weather advisory, warning of widespread rainfall due to strong Monsoon currents. A low-pressure system over Madhya Pradesh, India, is expected to move towards Rajasthan and adjoining areas of Sindh by September 6.
Under the influence of this system, heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms is likely in Sindh and eastern Punjab from September 6 onwards. Cities including Karachi, Hyderabad, Thatta, Badin, Sukkur, Larkana, and Jacobabad are expected to receive significant downpours until September 9.
Tharparkar, Umerkot, Mirpurkhas, Sanghar, Khairpur, Shaheed Benazirabad, and other districts are also on alert for very heavy rainfall.
In Punjab and Islamabad, showers with isolated heavy falls are predicted in Lahore, Multan, Sialkot, Bahawalpur, Rahimyar Khan, and surrounding areas between September 6 and September 8.
Northern regions, including Rawalpindi, Murree, Galliyat, Chakwal, and Gujranwala, may also experience rainfall during this period.
Forecasts indicate that Balochistan will see rain and thunderstorms from September 7 to 9. Districts such as Zhob, Khuzdar, Lasbella, Gwadar, and Dera Bugti are included in the advisory. Similarly, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, heavy showers are expected in Dir, Swat, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Kohat, and Peshawar.
Kashmir regions, including Neelum Valley, Muzaffarabad, and Rawalakot, are also likely to experience rain from September 6 to 8.
The PMD warned of urban flooding in low-lying areas of Karachi, Mirpurkhas, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Larkana due to torrential Monsoon rains.
Flash floods may occur in hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan and southern Balochistan, while landslides are possible in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, Galliyat, and Kashmir.
Officials advised the public and travelers to remain cautious, avoid unnecessary exposure in vulnerable areas, and stay updated with the latest weather alerts.
Heavy rainfall, windstorms, and lightning could damage weak structures, electric poles, vehicles, and solar panels during this active Monsoon spell.
