The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued fresh warnings as a powerful monsoon system continues to strengthen, bringing the risk of flash floods, landslides, and urban inundation to major cities and vulnerable hilly regions.
The alert, issued on Tuesday morning, spans from the northern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to southern Punjab and Balochistan. It remains in effect through July 17.
“Heavy to very heavy downpours could trigger flash flooding in nullahs and streams, particularly in Chitral, Dir, Swat, Murree, Kohistan, and Rawalpindi,” said Forecasting Officer Dawood Khan.
Authorities have flagged the risk of landslides in mountainous regions such as Murree, Galliyat, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The PMD also warned of possible urban flooding in cities including Islamabad, Lahore, Faisalabad, and Multan.
Officials reported on Monday that thunderstorms and strong winds had caused at least nine deaths and 62 injuries in Punjab, while six more fatalities were recorded in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Strong winds associated with the storm system may damage trees, electric poles, vehicles, solar panels, and standing crops, prompting calls for public caution.
The current spell of heavy rain is being driven by a low-pressure system over northeast Rajasthan, with strong monsoon currents pushing into Pakistan’s central and upper regions.
A westerly wave is also influencing the upper parts of the country.
In the past 24 hours, Okara recorded the highest rainfall at 95 mm, followed closely by Hyderabad with 94 mm.
Other areas experiencing significant downpours included Islamabad, Sahiwal, DG Khan, and Lahore.
Temperatures remained high in parts of Sindh, with Turbat reaching 44°C, and Hyderabad and Nawabshah recording 41°C under humid conditions.
Rain and thunderstorms are forecast across Punjab, K-P, Balochistan, and Sindh through Thursday, with scattered heavy falls expected, particularly in urban areas.
A prior weather alert issued by the Met Office on July 14 had forecast widespread torrential rains with wind-thundershowers from July 15 to 17.
It noted that a low-pressure system over northwest Madhya Pradesh in India was likely to affect Pakistan’s weather patterns over the subsequent 72 hours.
The advisory had outlined expected rainfall across nearly all provinces. In Gilgit-Baltistan, heavy rainfall was forecast in Muzaffarabad, Neelum Valley, Rawalakot, Astore, Skardu, Hunza, and surrounding regions.
In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, extremely heavy rain was predicted in Swat, Kohistan, Charsadda, Peshawar, Bannu, and the tribal districts, with risks of flash floods and landslides.
Upper and southern Punjab, including cities such as Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and Rawalpindi, were placed on alert. Central and southern Balochistan—Quetta, Lasbela, Khuzdar, Barkhan, and Dera Bugti—were also expected to receive heavy rain from July 14 to 16.
In Sindh, rainfall was forecast for Sukkur, Larkana, Mirpur Khas, and Jacobabad, with light showers predicted in Karachi.
The July 14 advisory highlighted impact risks, including flash flooding in hilly streams, landslides blocking roads, urban flooding in major cities, and damage to weak structures such as the rooftops of kacha houses, billboards, and standing crops in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Tourists, farmers, and travellers were advised to avoid vulnerable areas and stay alert to changing weather conditions.
All civil and provincial authorities were directed to remain on high alert and to implement precautionary measures to minimise damage and protect lives and property.

标题:Torrential rain devastates parts of Balochistan

DERA MURAD JAMALI: Widespread destruction was reported across parts of Balochistan as torrential rains and stormy winds battered Naseerabad and Sohbatpur on Sunday, damaging homes, disrupting essential services, and overwhelming infrastructure.
In Naseerabad’s Ghafoorabad and Tamboo areas, heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds caused multiple mud houses to collapse.
The boundary wall of a school in Ghafoorabad was damaged along with numerous solar panels installed in the area. Though the downpour brought some relief from the intense summer heat, the destruction left many residents struggling with damaged property and limited access to basic facilities.
Officials from the local administration confirmed that loss assessment and emergency relief efforts have begun in the affected areas.
Teams have been dispatched to survey the damage and provide immediate assistance to affected families.
Widespread destruction in Naseerabad, Dhadar, Sohbatpur; dozens of mud houses collapse
In nearby Dhadar, intermittent rain continued throughout the day, raising concerns about rising water levels. According to the Irrigation Department, a flood wave of 6,000 cusecs is currently flowing through the Nari River, while another surge of 4,850 cusecs is passing through the Mushkaf Weir, increasing the risk of flash floods in vulnerable regions.
Sohbatpur faced some of the most severe impacts, with torrential rain and storm winds flooding low-lying neighborhoods and causing local streams and drains to overflow.
Although the weather improved after the rain, the city’s communication and power infrastructure was severely disrupted. Multiple electrical feeders tripped, mobile networks went offline, and the Sohbatpur grid station sustained critical damage. According to Quetta Electric Supply Company, a high transmission line tower collapsed and the grid station’s boundary wall was also brought down by the storm.
Despite improving weather conditions, affected communities in all three districts — Naseerabad, Dhadar, and Sohbatpur — continue to face difficulties. Authorities have launched restoration and relief efforts, though challenges remain as the full scale of the damage is yet to be determined.

标题:Heavy rains, lightning kill 6 in KP; Flood alert issued
时间:2025-7-15 13:15:00
正文:PESHAWAR, Jul 15 (APP):At least six people lost their lives in various districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) over the past 24 hours due to heavy rains and lightning strikes, according to a report released by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).
The fatalities include a man, a woman, and four children, with incidents reported from Bajaur, Kohat, Malakand, and Khyber districts. One child was also injured, while three houses sustained partial damage due to the severe weather.
The PDMA has directed local district administrations to provide immediate relief to affected families and ensure the best possible medical care for the injured.
The authority warned that the monsoon rains are expected to continue until July 17, urging citizens and officials to take precautionary measures.
Meanwhile, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a fresh alert for potential flash floods in various regions of KP. The alert warns that continuous rainfall may cause rivers and streams to overflow, increasing the risk of flooding.
The report further highlighted the possibility of urban flooding in cities and landslides in mountainous areas. Strong winds and hailstorms may also damage power infrastructure, the alert added.
In a separate weather event, areas including Dera Ismail Khan, Paharpur, Daraban, Proa, Panyala, and Kari Khisor experienced sudden thunderstorms and heavy downpours late last night.
The storm brought a dramatic shift in weather, breaking the intensity of the day’s heat and humidity.
However, it also led to the tripping of multiple electricity feeders, resulting in prolonged power outages across several regions. Power was restored in phases after several hours.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely, advising residents to stay alert and follow safety guidelines as heavy rains are likely to persist across KP in the coming days.
