The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned of floods and land sliding due to heavy and very heavy falls in many parts of the country.
According to latest advisory, heavy and very heavy falls with wind and thundershowers are expected in Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Kashmir.
Hot and humid weather with rain-wind and thundershowers has been forecast for few areas of Sindh and Balochistan, while partly cloudy weather with rainfall activity is expected in Gilgit Baltistan.
The rains are likely to induce flash floods and land sliding in hilly mountainous regions of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir.
The NDMA has also warned of hill torrents along Kirthar and Koh-i-Sulaiman ranges which may affect at-risk areas of Balochistan and Punjab.
It has also warned of urban flooding in Lahore, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Narowal, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar.
Increased temperatures and rains may trigger Glacial Lake Outburst Flooding in vulnerable valleys of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit Baltistan.
From tomorrow (Sunday), medium to high level flood peaks are expected at river Chenab downstream near Marala, medium level peaks at River Kabul near Nowshehra and river Jhelum upstream Mangla dam.
