A heat wave and rising humidity are intensified over Lahore and much of Punjab, with dry conditions that persist in most areas.
Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted a maximum temperature of 34 ° C and at least 27 ° C for Lahore as the city experiences increased temperatures.
Although a new monsoon system is expected to enter Pakistan today, Lahore is unlikely to see considerable rainfall for immediate days.
The fourth monsoon tricking form is expected to be stronger than before and will bring thunderstorms, wind and rain to different regions, including Rawalpindi, Murree, Faisalabad, Gujranwala and parts of the southern Punjab.
Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has issued a warning of the risk of heavy rain and flooding from 20 to 25 July, calling on local authorities to remain vigilant.
River levels in Ravi, Jhelum, Sutlej and Chenab are expected to rise, and floods at the medium -sized level are already reported in the river Indus.
In order to control the potential influence, provincial agencies such as WASA, LWMC and local municipalities have mobilized emergency measures to deal with flood risks, and the authorities have enforced section 144 around rivers and streams to ensure public security.
Other parts of the country, including Kashmir, Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, Northeast Punjab, Potohar region, Gilgit-Baltistan, Northeast and Southern Balochistan and South Sindh, are expected to experience rain, wind and thundershowers in the next Tolar Hours.
In contrast, hot and humid weather will continue to dominate in the rest of the country.
Temperatures this morning were registered in larger cities as follows: Islamabad at 28 ° C, Lahore and Karachi both at 29 ° C, Peshawar at 30 ° C, Quetta at 22 ° C, Gilgit at 24 ° C, Murree at 17 ° C and Muzaffarabad at 25 ° C.
PDMA has called on the public to stay up to date with weather forecasts and follow security protocols, especially in flooding areas, as rainfall and river rises could pose significant flood risks over the next few days.
