The Met Office has predicted rainfall across Pakistan from August 26 to 29 as a low pressure currently located over west Bengal is likely to move westwards during the next couple of days

“Due to this low-pressure weather system, strong monsoon currents are likely to enter the country [especially southern parts from August 25,” the Pakistan Meteorological Department said in a statement.

The monsoon season is expected to impact Balochistan, entire Sindh and southern Punjab where citizens were advised to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.

“The intensity of the rainfall is likely to remain between mild and harsh, potentially causing disruptions in daily life,” chief meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz told PTV News.

As the monsoon season was still ongoing, he urged citizens to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.

“The expected monsoon spell is likely to bring heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds, which may lead to flash flooding, landslides, and power outages. By staying informed and taking proactive measures, citizens can minimize the risks associated with this weather event,” he stated.

The chief meteorologist’s prediction also highlighted the importance of preparedness and contingency planning.

“By working together, we can reduce the risks and ensure a safer, more resilient community,” he added.

When asked, Sarfraz said: “The monsoon intensity is expected to gradually subside after September 10 to 12, marking the end of the rainy season. This transition will bring a welcome relief to the people, as the suffocating humidity and rainfall will give way to a more pleasant weather pattern.

He went on to add that the region can expect a decrease in temperature and humidity as the monsoon withdraws.

The chief meteorologist added that the water reserves in the country’s dams and the water levels in two of the major dams were satisfactory.
