Pakistan’s Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted heavy rains from June 26 to June 28, with potential flash floods, urban flooding, and landslides in several regions.

Moist currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, along with a westernly wave, will bring widespread rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds to areas like Murree, Galliyat, Dera Ghazi Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Kashmir.

Landslides are a significant concern in vulnerable hilly areas and the government has advised residents in these regions to avoid traveling through risky routes.

The weather conditions could also damage weak structures, including kacha houses, electric poles and vehicles.

The forecast predicts continued rainfall, gusty winds, and thunderstorms across several districts on Thursday and Friday, with isolated heavy falls expected.

The weather department urges people to stay alert, as the weather may disrupt daily life and cause significant damage in the affected areas.
