ISLAMABAD: This year’s monsoon may come as a surprise.
After a long pause, the monsoon axis has shifted toward upper regions and is expected to affect northwestern areas in July.
The first phase is currently active and could prove more intense than the second.
Maps show purple, deep pink, and pink shades in several regions.
These colors indicate increasing chances of heavy to extreme rainfall.
Some areas may receive spells of over 200mm rain.
Basement Owners Must Check Drainage Systems
People who have built basement homes in the past 10 to 15 years must inspect their drainage systems immediately.
Ignoring this warning may result in flooding and serious property damage.
Travelers Advised to Reconsider July Plans
Those planning to visit Northern Areas or Kashmir in July should plan wisely.
Weather in that region may cause disruptions and safety concerns.
This prediction is based on the latest weather models.
The aim is not to spread fear, but to issue a timely alert.
Forecasts exist to prepare us—outcomes are in the hands of Allah.
Stay alert. Stay safe.
