NDMA warns of nationwide rain, thunderstorms over next 24 hours
The National Emergencies Protection action Centre (NEOC) of the National Urgent condition response management Body (NDMA) on Wednesday cautioned of nationwide thunderstorms and rainfall over the next 12 to 24 hours.
According to an advisory issued by the body, a system of western winds entering from the southwestern belt of Balochistan is likely to affect most regions, bringing rain accompanied by strong winds and gusty storms.
The NDMA cautioned that ongoing rainfall may lead to urban flooding in low-lying areas of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock and Chakwal. Locals in vulnerable localities have been advised to remain alert and take precautionary measures to minimise potential damage.
Rain with thunderstorms and strong winds is expected in Islamabad and several cities of Punjab, including Murree, Rawalpindi, Attock, Jhelum, Chakwal, Gujrat, Sialkot, Lahore, Mianwali and Mandi Bahauddin over the next 12 to 24 hours. Rainfall is also likely in Khushab, Sargodha, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Faisalabad, Kasur, Okara, Narowal, Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan, Bahawalpur, Sahiwal, Bahawalnagar and Rahim Yar Khan.
The advisory stated that various parts of Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) are expected to experience rain accompanied by thunderstorms, dust storms and strong winds, with chances of hailstorms at isolated locations.
In view of the anticipated downpour, the NDMA has issued an alert for possible flooding in several districts of K-P and Balochistan. Flash floods are projection in Balochistan, particularly in Turbat, Kech, Gwadar, Khuzdar, Zhob and Lasbela.
