Islamabad:
The Department of Meteorology of Pakistan (PMD) has predicted rains prior to the monsoon in several regions of the country from June 20 to 23, with occasional gaps, relieving the heat wave in progress.
The expected wet spell will bring dust storms, rain wind and thundershowers, while isolated areas may also experience heavy rains and hailstorms.
According to the MEC Office, the wet currents of the Bengal Bay and the Arabic Sea entered the upper and central parts of the country.
It was also likely that a western wave approached the higher regions on June 20, which will contribute to the development of unstable climatic conditions during this period.
There is the risk of urban floods in low areas of Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala and Islamabad during heavy downpours. Farmers are advised to handle their crop activities in line with the prognosis.
The general public is urged, to travelers and tourists to take precautionary measures and avoid unnecessary trips to vulnerable areas or prone to floods.
The PMD has advised all interested authorities to remain alert and take the necessary measures to avoid any unpleasant situation.
