Heavy Rain Alert in Pakistan: Flash Flood and Landslide Warnings Issued
A new spell of heavy rain is expected in many parts of Pakistan starting July 29, 2025, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned.
Monsoon winds are already affecting the upper and central areas of the country and are likely to get stronger. A fresh weather system, known as a westerly wave, will also arrive tomorrow, making the rains heavier and more widespread.
The PMD has issued a strong weather warning. It says heavy rains could cause flash floods in small rivers and streams. Big cities like Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore, and Sialkot are at high risk of urban flooding between July 28 and July 31.
There is also a serious risk of landslides and mudslides in hilly areas such as Murree, Galiyat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Kashmir. Roads may be blocked, so people are advised to avoid travel to these areas.
Travelers and tourists should be very careful and stay updated with the latest weather news. Authorities are on high alert and have been told to take all safety steps to reduce danger.
So far, over 270 people have died in rain-related incidents across Pakistan since June 26. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and PMD are watching the situation closely and will keep sharing updates.
