The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a weather alert for the upper regions of the country, forecasting rain, wind, and thunderstorms starting today (Monday). This weather shift is attributed to a moist current from the Bay of Bengal moving into northern Pakistan, combined with an approaching westerly wave likely to impact the western areas.
The PMD warns that moderate to heavy rainfall over the coming days could create risks in certain regions. Specifically, areas such as Kalat, Khuzdar, and Barkhan are vulnerable to landslides, and local nullahs and streams may experience increased water levels. Residents in these areas are advised to exercise caution and stay informed about the latest weather updates.
The adverse weather conditions are expected to continue until Wednesday, potentially disrupting daily activities and travel in the affected regions. Authorities are prepared to handle any emergencies resulting from the forecasted rain and associated weather events. Residents and travelers in northern Pakistan are encouraged to remain alert and take necessary precautions, especially in areas susceptible to landslides and flooding.
