ISLAMABAD:The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a detailed weather forecast for Tuesday, warning of widespread rain, wind, and thundershowers in multiple regions, including Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, Punjab, and Gilgit-Baltistan.While parts of the country will continue to experience hot and humid weather, several areas are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall during the forecast period.
The PMD has cautioned that tonight and on July 22, intense rainfall may lead to flash flooding in local nullahs and streams. This risk is particularly high in northern and hilly regions such as Chitral, Dir, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Buner, Charsadda, Nowshera, Swabi, Mardan, Murree, Galliyat, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, as well as in the hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan, northeastern Punjab, and Kashmir.Heavy downpours could also trigger urban flooding in low-lying areas of major cities including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore, Sialkot, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Okara, Nowshera, and Peshawar.
Additionally, the risk of landslides and mudslides looms large over vulnerable hilly regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, Galliyat, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The PMD has also warned that strong winds, intense rainfall, and lightning may damage weak structures such as kacha houses, billboards, solar panels, electric poles, and vehicles during this period.In Islamabad, partly cloudy and humid conditions are expected to prevail, with rain and thundershowers likely. The probability of rainfall is estimated at 80 percent, and heavy falls are also possible.In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, partly cloudy weather with rain-wind/thundershowers is expected at isolated places, including Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Buner, Shangla, Malakand, Peshawar, Nowshera, Swabi, Bajaur, Mardan, Kurram, Orakzai, Hangu, Kohat, Bannu, Karak, Dera Ismail Khan, and Waziristan.
