The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has predicted rain across Pakistan from July 6 to July 10, 2026.
As per the latest weather advisory issued, the NDMA has warned about rain and wind accompanied by thunderstorms and heavy rainfall across northern and upper parts of the country.
The weather system will start entering the northern region of Pakistan on July 6, with rain, wind, and thunderstorms in Kashmir, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Islamabad, Potohar and north eastern Punjab.
The rainfall will increase from July 7 to 10, as heavy rainfall is expected over the upper streams of the Indus, Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi rivers, also including Islamabad, Potohar, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), KP, northern Punjab and northern areas of Balochistan.
NDMA has confirmed that most heavy rainfall will occur on July 7, 2026.
There is a high chance of an increase in the water level in Tarbela and Mangla, and the Indus, Chenab, Sutlej, and Ravi rivers will also see a rise in their water levels due to the expected heavy rainfall.
The disaster management authority has also predicted that the heavy rain could cause a flood situation in the mountain areas, while there are high chances of urban flooding and waterlogging in the low-lying areas.
Landsliding is expected to occur in several areas of KP, GB and AJK.
The NDMA has asked the Provincial Disaster Management Authorities (PDMAs), district authorities and emergency services to remain on high alert and to monitor the weather conditions closely.
People are advised to avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rain, stay away from rivers, streams and hill torrents, avoid driving through flooded roads and follow official safety advice.
