The NDMA’s National Emergencies Operation Centre has cautioned against consistent hot weather, widespread rain and thunderstorms, and the intensity of the westerly waves with likely heavy falls.
The NDMA has issued a warning when glaciers are rapidly melting owing to prolonged heatwaves, increasing water levels, and sudden floods playing havoc in the region.
The NDMA has said that a significant wet spell is likely to affect Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan from the evening of 26th June to 1st July.
“During this period, scattered to widespread rain and thunderstorms, with isolated heavy fa11s, are expected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while rain and thunderstorms are likely at many places in Gilgit-Baltistan”, NDMA said in its advisory.
It warned that prevailing weather conditions increase the risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) and flash floods in vulnerable glaciated regions of Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
