Heavy rain expected in several areas of Pakistan: PMD

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued a rainfall forecast for August. Heavier than usual rainfall in August is expected in several areas of Pakistan according to PMD.

Pakistan is expected to get average rainfall this month, however, rainfall in the north of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Kashmir, as well as Southeast Sindh, may be higher than average, according to the department.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned that flood is expected due to heavy rain in several parts of Pakistan as heavy rains are predicted in the upper parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Kashmir.

A flood warning has also been issued by the Pakistan Meteorological Department for major cities in Punjab, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The central and bordering areas of Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan are likely to get normal rainfall, according to the department.

Water will be more than enough for the electricity and agriculture sectors, according to the report.

“Right now in Karachi, the sea breeze is strong, therefore there is no upward or downward movement in clouds,” Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz explained, adding that movement in clouds is required for the rain to fall.

A low-pressure system was seen in eastern and central India, but it drifted northward. He said that this is why north Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been getting a lot of rain.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast more rain this year. Kashmir, Punjab, and Balochistan are expected to see more than usual showers
