Amidst the ongoing intense heatwave, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) announced on Tuesday a prediction of rainfall starting from today (May 28) until June.

The NDMA representative stated that the northern areas might experience rain accompanied by wind and thunderstorms, and there’s a possibility of landslides disrupting roadways and traffic in hilly regions.

“The likelihood of floods in the local waterways and channels is heightened due to the anticipated rainfall in the elevated zones,” the spokesperson mentioned, noting that the relevant local agencies are on high alert to manage the potential floods and landslides.
