In a press release, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) predicted rain, wind, and thunderstorms for the period from September 15 to September 20. The moderate monsoon currents coming from the Bay of Bengal, which are anticipated to reach the upper regions of the country during this time, are what the Met Office has linked to this weather phenomenon.
Additionally, a westerly wave is forecast to enter these regions on September 16 and intensify the weather. Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), Murree, Galliyat, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Peshawar, and numerous other cities and districts are among the geographically extensive areas that are affected.
The local streams and Nullahs may experience increased water flows as a result of the moderate to heavy rainfall that the Met Office has warned of. Insecure areas of Murree, Galliyat, Kashmir, GB, and other places are also at risk from landslides.
Tourists and travellers are urged to use caution during this time, and farmers are advised to modify their crop activities accordingly. Additionally, it is advised that people stay inside during windstorms, lightning, and downpours because these weather conditions may harm solar panels and electric poles.
The public is urged to stay informed about the latest developments by visiting the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s official website, which has alerted all pertinent authorities.
