According to NEOC, widespread heavy rainfall is expected in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly in Chitral, Dir, and Kohistan. The risk of landslides, mudslides, rockfalls, and ground subsidence remains high across mountainous zones.
All Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (PDMAs), rescue services, armed forces, and humanitarian partners have been asked to ensure full preparedness in the high-risk zones.
Citizens have been urged to avoid travel to steep or unstable areas and follow official safety instructions, including downloading the NDMA’s Disaster Alert App for real-time updates.
The Met Office has also warned of urban flooding in Rawalpindi and Gujranwala on 22–23 July, with scattered to widespread rains and isolated heavy to very heavy showers expected in Islamabad and Rawalpindi during the next 24 hours.
Regarding river flows, the PMD said low to medium-level flows are likely in the Chenab and Jhelum rivers, as well as in the associated nullahs of the Ravi and Chenab systems, from 22–23 July. Continuous heavy rainfall has also led to a significant rise in reservoir levels.
