The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued an alert for heavy rainfall in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Murree, Galiyat and adjoining areas from tomorrow until Saturday.

Heavy rainfall is also likely in multiple areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Dir, Swat, Buner, Malakand, Shangla, Battagram, Kohistan, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Haripur, Nowshera, Swabi, Mardan and Peshawar.

Heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding in urban areas, while flooding and landslides are also possible in mountainous regions.

The NDMA has also issued a potential flood alert for Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Jammu and Kashmir due to the possible outburst of glacial lakes.

The risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) has increased due to rapidly melting glaciers caused by ongoing monsoon rains and rising temperatures.

Ghizer, Hunza, Nagar, Shigar, Gilgit, Rondu, Diamer, Astore, Skardu, Ghanche, Kharmang and Neelum Valley have been identified as vulnerable areas.

Similarly, there is a risk of flash flooding and landslides in Chitral, Upper and Lower Dir, Swat, Shangla, Kohistan, Mansehra, Buner and adjoining mountainous areas.

The public is advised to avoid unnecessary movement near glacial rivers, streams and other hazardous locations.

The NDMA has urged the public to stay informed about weather conditions, early warnings and instructions issued by district administrations.

The public is also advised to use the Pak NDMA Disaster Alert App for the latest information and alerts.
