Meteorological Department Warns of Severe Weather Conditions

The Meteorological Department has issued a weather warning for various parts of Pakistan, predicting rain, wind, thundershowers, and hailstorms from Thursday to Monday. This weather phenomenon is attributed to monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, combined with a low-pressure system over the south of Indian Gujarat. The affected areas in Punjab include Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Lahore, Faisalabad, and more.

Additionally, regions like Bahawalpur, Multan, and Rahim Yar Khan are expected to experience rain and thundershowers until the end of June. Parts of Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan/Kashmir, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan are also likely to witness rain, wind, and thundershowers with isolated heavy falls. The forecast warns of possible urban and flash floods in several areas, urging caution and preparedness.

During this period, dust storms, windstorms, and lightning may disrupt daily activities and cause damage to structures. The risk of urban flooding in specific regions has prompted authorities to take preventive measures. Director General Irfan Ali Kathia has advised the public to follow government instructions and reach out to the PDMA helpline 1129 in case of emergencies.

As the weather conditions intensify, it is crucial for residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being. By heeding official guidance and staying vigilant, individuals can mitigate risks associated with the impending severe weather.
