A fresh and powerful monsoon system is expected to affect many parts of Pakistan between July 29 and August 5, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds to several regions of the country.
According to the latest weather advisory, the rain spell is likely to impact Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Multan, Bahawalpur, Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, Nowshera, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Swat, Chitral, Dir, Kohistan, Murree, Galiyat, Gilgit, Skardu, Diamer, Hunza, Astore, Muzaffarabad, and Neelum Valley. Some parts of Balochistan and Sindh are also expected to receive rainfall during the forecast period.
Weather experts have warned that heavy downpours may trigger urban flooding in low-lying areas of major cities, while flash floods are possible in rivers, streams, and seasonal nullahs. In northern and mountainous regions, persistent rainfall could lead to landslides, mudslides, and temporary road closures, affecting both residents and tourists.
Authorities have advised people living near rivers, hill slopes, and flood-prone areas to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions. Tourists planning to travel to northern destinations such as Swat, Hunza, Skardu, Chitral, Murree, and Gilgit should check weather forecasts and road conditions before starting their journey.
Emergency services and local administrations have been directed to remain on high alert throughout the monsoon spell. Citizens are encouraged to avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rain, stay away from flooded roads and streams, secure loose outdoor items, and follow official advisories for the latest updates.
The upcoming weather system is expected to bring much-needed rainfall to several regions, but authorities emphasize that preparedness and public cooperation are essential to reduce the risk of weather-related incidents during the monsoon season.
