A fresh monsoon system has entered Pakistan, bringing widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, and the possibility of localized urban flooding across Punjab over the next 48 hours.
A new monsoon weather system has entered Pakistan, with rainfall expected to begin today in several parts of Punjab, according to the latest weather outlook. The fresh spell is likely to bring thunderstorms, gusty winds, and moderate to heavy rain over the next 48 hours.
The forecast includes widespread rainfall in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Sheikhupura, Mianwali, Gujranwala, Kasur, Multan, Layyah, Muzaffargarh, Sialkot, Hafizabad, Jhelum, Narowal, Khushab, Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Chakwal, Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur, Sahiwal, and Faisalabad. Weather officials have advised residents to remain alert, particularly in low-lying urban areas where temporary flooding may occur during periods of intense rainfall.
The latest monsoon spell is expected to provide relief from the ongoing heatwave across much of Punjab, although strong winds, lightning, and isolated heavy downpours could disrupt travel and daily activities. Authorities have urged the public to exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather, and stay updated with official forecasts.
The incoming system is part of Pakistan’s seasonal monsoon pattern, which typically brings widespread rainfall from late June through the summer months, playing a vital role in replenishing water resources while also increasing the risk of flash flooding in vulnerable areas.
