Starting tonight and lasting until July 7th, Pakistan will experience heavy to torrential rainfall in multiple regions. This intense weather is expected to cause flash floods and rising water levels in mountain streams, particularly in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Murree, Galliyat, Mansehra, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Dir, Swat, Kashmir, northeastern Balochistan, and the hilly streams of Dera Ghazi Khan. Urban areas like Lahore, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Narowal, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Peshawar are also at risk of flooding. Landslides are a concern in the mountainous areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, Galliyat, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, which could disrupt traffic.
