ISLAMABAD – At least six more people died and 22 others were injured in rain-related incidents in the past 24 hours, bringing the 2025 monsoon death toll to 271 nationwide. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) confirmed the latest fatalities occurred in Punjab and Balochistan due to flooding, roof collapses, and drowning.
Since the start of the monsoon season on June 26, over 655 people have been injured across the country. Authorities are now intensifying rescue efforts in vulnerable regions as weather conditions remain dangerous. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned of more rainfall and thunderstorms in the coming days, urging caution in flood-prone areas.
Karachi is expected to experience cloudy weather with chances of light drizzle over the next three days. Sea breezes will stay active, and humidity levels may reach up to 80% in the morning. Temperatures are forecast to remain between 33°C and 35°C during the day.
Other districts in Sindh, including Tharparkar, Thatta, Mirpurkhas, and Badin, may face gusty winds and scattered rainfall. Meanwhile, moderate flooding is already ongoing at Guddu and Sukkur barrages, though the water flow at Kotri barrage remains normal for now. Coastal regions can also expect occasional drizzle.
Looking ahead, a new weather system will enter the country on Tuesday, increasing the likelihood of flash floods, urban flooding, and landslides in northern and hilly regions. The PMD has also warned that roads in areas like Murree, Galliyat, and Gilgit-Baltistan may be blocked due to mudslides.
The Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has issued a flood alert for the Chenab and Jhelum rivers from July 29 to 31. In response, Rescue 1122 teams and emergency control rooms have been placed on high alert, and the public is urged to take safety precautions.
