Intermittent rain is expected in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and several parts of Pakistan on Sunday evening and night, as well as on Monday. Some areas in Punjab, Kashmir, and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa may see heavy rain in certain spots.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) says monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal are entering the upper and central regions of the country. A westerly weather system is also affecting northern areas and will likely continue until tomorrow.
Because of these weather conditions, rain is expected in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Punjab, Kashmir, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday evening, Sunday night, and Monday. Heavy rain may fall in northeastern and eastern Punjab, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Kashmir. Some rain is also likely in northeastern Balochistan, northern and southeastern Sindh, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Widespread rain could lead to flash floods in streams and nullahs in areas such as Dir, Swat, Shangla, Buner, Kohistan, Manshera, Abbottabad, Nowshera, Swabi, Murree, Galiyat, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, northeastern Punjab, Kashmir, and hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan.
Heavy rain may also cause urban flooding in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore, Sialkot, Narowal, Peshawar, Nowshera, and Mardan. Landslides or mudslides could block roads in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Murree, Galiyat, and Kashmir.
