New Rain Spell Expected Across Pakistan with Flash Flood Warning

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast a fresh spell of rain across various parts of the country starting Monday, driven by an incoming system of westerly winds.

According to the Met Office, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Islamabad are likely to experience hailstorms due to the impact of these winds.

The northern regions will experience snowfall, while Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit Baltistan (GB) will have scattered showers.

This forecast follows the recent heavy rainfall in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, which came after nearly four months of dry conditions, offering much-needed relief from the worsening water crisis.

Several parts of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Lahore, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Gujrat, and Hafizabad, also experienced rainfall after a prolonged dry spell.

The Met Office predicts cloudy weather with rain and snow in northeast and western Balochistan, as well as parts of KP on Monday.

On Tuesday, Murree and Galliyat are likely to receive rain, accompanied by wind, thunderstorms, and isolated hailstorms in northeast Punjab.

The PMD has also issued a warning about potential flash floods in upper KP and AJK, advising tourists to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel to vulnerable areas.
