As a result, rainfall, wind-thundershowers (including heavy falls in some areas), and occasional gaps are expected in several parts of the country from 27th to 30th July.

Regions like Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Peshawar, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, and others are likely to experience rain and thunderstorms during this period, with potential flash flooding in Balochistan and hill torrents in Dera Ghazi Khan.

Urban flooding may occur in low-lying areas of Islamabad/Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Gujranwala, Lahore, and Faisalabad. There is also a risk of landslides in vulnerable areas.

Farmers are advised to consider the weather forecast in managing their activities, and tourists and travelers are urged to exercise caution during the wet spell. Precautions should be taken due to potential damage from wind-thunderstorms, including loose structures like electric poles and solar panels. All relevant authorities have been alerted to be prepared and take necessary precautionary measures during this forecasted period.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
