The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted widespread rain with wind-thundershowers and isolated heavyfalls across much of the country from July 27 to 31, warning of flash floods, urban flooding, and landslides in several vulnerable areas.
According to the PMD, weak monsoon currents are currently penetrating upper and central parts of Pakistan and are likely to intensify from July 28.
A westerly wave is expected to approach by July 29, further strengthening the weather system.
Rain with isolated heavyfalls is expected in Kashmir (including Neelum Valley, Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot, and Mirpur) and Gilgit-Baltistan (including Skardu, Astore, and Hunza) from July 27 to 31.
In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, districts such as Swat, Mansehra, Kohistan, and Peshawar are likely to receive rain and thunderstorms from July 28 to 31.
Punjab and Islamabad will see rain with scattered heavyfalls from July 28 to 31, affecting areas such as Rawalpindi, Lahore, Gujranwala, and Sialkot. Rain is also likely in southern Punjab (DG Khan, Bahawalpur, Rahimyar Khan) from July 29 to 31.
Balochistan’s northeastern and southern districts, including Quetta, Barkhan, and Zhob, may receive rain from the night of July 29 to July 31.
In Sindh, hot and humid weather will persist, though rain is forecast for July 30 and 31 in districts such as Tharparkar, Sanghar, Sukkur, and Larkana.
The PMD has warned that heavy rain could trigger flash floods in hill streams of Chitral, Swat, and other northern regions.
Urban flooding is likely in low-lying areas of Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Sialkot. Landslides or mudslides may occur in hilly areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Murree, and Kashmir.
Strong winds and lightning may damage weak infrastructure, including kacha houses, electric poles, solar panels, and billboards.
The public, travellers, and tourists have been advised to stay informed and avoid unnecessary travel to vulnerable areas.

GILGIT: At least nine people have lost their lives as torrential rains continue to unleash floods and landslides across Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B), officials confirmed on Friday, with dozens more injured and the search still ongoing for those feared missing.
According to G-B government spokesperson Faizullah Faraq, the dead include two women and two children. "The number of people swept away by floodwater could be around 12 to 14," he said in a statement, adding that efforts were still underway to trace the missing.
Faraq added that more than a dozen people had sustained injuries in the unfolding disaster, while over 300 tourists stranded in various parts of the region had been rescued so far.
Describing the scale of destruction, Faraq said, "In total, more than 500 houses have been destroyed due to the floods and about 12 kilometres of roads have been destroyed as well". He further detailed that 27 bridges and 22 vehicles had also been washed away, in addition to "countless shops, cattle sheds and logs of timber".
He acknowledged the critical role played by the Pakistan Army and Gilgit-Baltistan Scouts in both rescue and search efforts, which are being carried out in extremely challenging conditions due to the persistent weather and terrain disruptions.
With several areas cut off, authorities are now racing to restore basic utilities. "Efforts are also underway to provide water and electricity to thousands of people who are now deprived of these facilities as a result of damage to the water supply and electricity grids," Faraq said.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast intense monsoon activity in the coming week, warning of heavy rainfall across several regions of the country from July 27 to July 31.
According to the Met Office, monsoon currents are gaining strength, with widespread downpours expected during the five-day spell.
The department has specifically cautioned that between July 27 and July 30, flash flooding is likely in streams and seasonal rivers (nullahs), particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, G-B and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, where rain accompanied by strong winds is expected.
From July 28 to July 31, several districts in Punjab are also likely to receive rainfall with thunder and lightning, while southern Punjab and parts of Balochistan have also been placed under a rain advisory.
The Met Department has warned of urban flooding in major cities, including Rawalpindi, Lahore, Gujranwala and Sialkot, and advised both travellers and tourists to exercise caution in light of potential landslides in vulnerable regions.
It further warned that areas with weak infrastructure may face structural damage and disruptions due to the upcoming weather conditions.
Punjab monsoon
The Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) on Friday issued a fresh monsoon alert, forecasting the fifth spell of monsoon rains across most parts of the province from July 28 to July 31.
According to the PDMA spokesperson, widespread rainfall is expected during this period in the districts of Murree, Galiyat, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Gujranwala and Hafizabad.
Other districts likely to experience rain include Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sialkot, Narowal, Sahiwal, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Khushab, Sargodha, Mianwali, Nankana Sahib, Chiniot, Faisalabad and Okara.

Director General PDMA Irfan Ali Kathia has directed all commissioners and deputy commissioners across Punjab to remain on high alert in view of the anticipated weather situation.
He cautioned that there is a risk of urban flooding in major urban centres, including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala and Faisalabad.
The PDMA has instructed departments, including civil defence, Rescue 1122 and other allied agencies, to ensure pre-emptive arrangements are fully in place. "In compliance with the directives of the Punjab chief minister, all relevant departments have been issued a state of alert," said DG Irfan Ali Kathia.
He further ordered that emergency control rooms remain fully staffed and active, while Rescue 1122's disaster response teams be kept on high alert.
In a warning to the public, the PDMA urged citizens to follow precautionary measures and avoid unnecessary travel, particularly in vulnerable areas.
"There is a heightened risk of landslides in hilly regions such as Murree and Galiyat, while fragile and mud-structured buildings may suffer damage due to heavy rainfall," the PDMA stated.
"Passengers and tourists are advised to remain cautious due to the expected weather and avoid non-essential travel," the spokesperson added.
In the case of urban or flash flooding, the public is advised to seek shelter in safe places and not attempt to drive through flowing water. For any emergencies, citizens can contact the PDMA helpline at 1129, the spokesperson noted.

Landslides and mudslides may block roads in hilly areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Murree, Galiyat and Kashmir during the forecast period.
Fifth monsoon spell
In a joint advisory, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) of Punjab and the PMD forecast the fifth spell of monsoon rains in the province for the upcoming week. Rain, wind and thundershowers with scattered heavy falls are expected in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and several other districts, while southern Punjab will receive rainfall between July 29 and 31.
PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia ordered all commissioners and deputy commissioners to remain alert and complete precautionary measures. Civil defence, rescue services and related departments have been instructed to ensure preparedness.
He warned of possible landslides in Murree and Galiyat and damage to mud houses and weak structures. He also urged citizens to avoid unnecessary travel, refrain from crossing flooded roads and stay away from electrical infrastructure.
According to a PDMA fact sheet, Punjab witnessed rainfall in many parts over the last 24 hours, with Multan receiving 117mm, Lahore 43mm, Sheikhupura 37mm, Hafizabad 15mm, Okara 13mm and Sahiwal 12mm.
Moreover, 10 people were injured due to roof collapses in the last 12 hours. However, there was no loss of life due to accidents caused by rain in the last 24 hours.
The fact sheet also revealed 54 per cent water storage in Mangla Dam, 79pc in Tarbela and medium-level flooding in the Indus River at Chashma and Taunsa.
The flow of water in the Chenab, Ravi, Jhelum and Sutlej rivers is currently at normal levels. The Punjab government has banned bathing in rivers, canals and storm drains, warning of strict action against violators.
GB faces climate emergency
Meanwhile, the Gilgit-Baltistan government said on Friday that the region is in the grip of severe change impacts, as floods triggered by melting glaciers and cloudbursts continue to cause widespread devastation.
People in several areas faced shortages of drinking and irrigation water, electricity, internet, telephone services and road access, as floods, landslides and soil erosion damaged roads, water channels, irrigation systems, power infrastructure and optical fibre networks.
In a media briefing, GB Chief Secretary Abrar Ahmed Mirza confirmed that nine people, including two women and two children, have died since July 10, including eight in Diamer’s Babusar and Thor valleys and one in Astore.
He said many areas were cut off due to landslides and mudflows. The Karakoram Highway was blocked again at Chilas, after which C-130 flight operations were started to evacuate stranded tourists and patients to Islamabad. Four tourists were airlifted from Fairy Meadows near Nanga Parbat.
Floods destroyed 196 homes, damaged another 200 and swept away over 12km of roads, 26 bridges, 20 vehicles, agricultural land and other infrastructure, including water channels and communication lines.
Mr Mirza said relief efforts are underway, with tents, food and emergency supplies being delivered. He acknowledged the growing frequency of cloudbursts and glacier melt, attributing the disasters to climate change.
Special flights from Skardu and Gilgit to Islamabad have begun, with 135 people, including 80 tourists, flown out so far. Search operations are underway for 10 to 12 missing tourists in Babusar Valley.
The GB government asked citizens to follow travel advisories and announced plans to review early warning systems, including the UNDP-funded Glof-II project.
