The National Disaster Management Authority has said no active monsoon system is currently affecting Pakistan. It also forecast no significant rainfall over the next couple of days.
The forecast was shared during a meeting of the Emergency Response Committee at the NDMA headquarters in Islamabad. The meeting was held on the prime minister’s direction.
Officials reviewed the country’s latest weather and hydrological situation. They also discussed preparedness and response measures amid expectations of rising temperatures.
Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal chaired the committee’s 18th meeting through a video link. The session was held at the National Emergencies Operations Centre.
NDMA Chairman Lt Gen Inam Haider Malik also attended the meeting. Representatives from provincial disaster management authorities and the Pakistan Meteorological Department were present.
Senior officials from relevant federal ministries also participated in the session. They reviewed the latest weather outlook and river flow situation across the country.
Officials also assessed hydrological conditions and preparedness at federal and provincial levels. The meeting focused on ensuring that response agencies remain ready for possible weather-related emergencies.
According to the NDMA briefing, Pakistan is currently not under the influence of an active monsoon system. No major rainfall spell is expected during the coming days.
The forecast suggests that weather conditions will remain relatively dry in many areas. However, authorities were asked to continue monitoring changes in weather conditions.
The committee also discussed the expected rise in temperatures across several parts of the country. Higher temperatures could increase heat-related risks for vulnerable populations.
Rising temperatures may also increase water demand in affected areas. Authorities were therefore directed to remain prepared for possible impacts linked to hotter weather.
The meeting stressed the importance of monitoring vulnerable areas. Officials were also instructed to ensure timely sharing of weather information with the public.
Provincial authorities briefed the committee about their emergency resources and response capacity. They also discussed coordination with district administrations during emergencies.
The committee emphasized continuous weather monitoring across the country. It also called for timely early warnings whenever significant weather risks emerge.
Uninterrupted communication between federal and provincial agencies was also stressed. Authorities were directed to maintain operational readiness throughout the period.
The latest forecast provides temporary relief from concerns over heavy monsoon rainfall. However, officials have been asked to remain alert because weather conditions can change.
The NDMA said it will continue monitoring the national situation through the National Emergencies Operations Centre. The authority will issue advisories whenever necessary.
Authorities are also expected to maintain coordination with the Pakistan Meteorological Department and provincial disaster management agencies. This will help ensure a faster response if conditions deteriorate.
For now, Pakistan is not facing an active monsoon system. The focus has shifted toward monitoring rising temperatures and preparing for possible heat-related impacts.
