Monsoon Rains to Continue Until September: Weather Dept.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted that the monsoon season in the country will last from July to September.

Currently, monsoon rains are ongoing in most regions. So far, Pakistan has received 8% more rainfall than usual. Punjab has experienced a 59% increase in rainfall during the first monsoon spell.

However, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recorded 1% less rain, Azad Jammu Kashmir 18% less, Balochistan 28% less, Sindh 62% less, and Gilgit-Baltistan 63% less than usual.

Urban, flash, and riverine floods are expected due to these monsoon rains. The risk of diseases is also rising because of stagnant water in flooded areas.
