Heavy Rain Alert in Pakistan: Met Office Warns of Widespread Showers

Pakistan is bracing for heavy rainfall over the next two days, as forecasted by the Pakistan Meteorological Department. Moderate to intense showers are expected nationwide, while coastal areas of Sindh may see light drizzling. Authorities are urging residents to remain cautious and stay updated, as monsoon conditions raise the risk of flash floods and urban flooding.

Recent posts on X reflect growing concern over the severe weather, with alerts issued for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan. The National Disaster Management Authority has called for heightened preparedness, warning of possible flooding in vulnerable areas. In Balochistan alone, at least seven fatalities have been reported over the past 48 hours due to rain-related incidents—highlighting the need for continued vigilance.

Residents are advised to avoid low-lying areas, secure loose objects and structures, and keep emergency contacts within reach. The Met Office expects the rain spell to continue through July 10, especially in river catchment areas, where sudden flooding is more likely. Stay informed via local news and official sources to remain safe during this period of intensified weather activity.
