The National Disaster Management Authority has forecast a significant increase in monsoon rains across Pakistan in the coming days, with another weather system expected to enter the country on July 12.
NDMA technical expert said that a low-pressure system was moving from India’s Madhya Pradesh toward Pakistan, while moisture from the Arabian Sea had already entered the country.
He said a westerly system was also moving into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, strengthening monsoon activity.
Dr. Tayyab said the current weather system was expected to remain strongest on July 7 and 8, while rain was likely to continue in northern areas on July 9 and 10.
Meanwhile, the NDMA’s National Emergencies Operation Center issued a landslide alert for the JSR/Skardu-Roundu Road from July 7 to 9.
The alert said Skardu and nearby areas, including Bromdo Nala, Chamchu, Malupa and the Dambudas-Tormik-Haramosh section, could face localised landslides over the next two days.
The NDMA urged travellers and tourists to avoid unnecessary travel in mountainous and landslide-prone areas and stay away from unstable slopes.
