Pakistan is experiencing heavier monsoon rains this July compared to the same time last year, according to weather officials. This fits a pattern of increasingly unpredictable and intense rainfall due to climate change.
Key Findings (July 1-14, 2025 vs. Average):
- Punjab: 81.6% above normal rain (even higher than last year’s 72.4% above normal).
- Balochistan: Huge surge – 187% above normal (after normal rain last year).
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP): 34.9% above normal.
- Azad Kashmir: 19.3% above normal.
- Sindh: Still drier – 66.2% below normal (similar to last year’s 68.6% below).
- Gilgit-Baltistan (GB): Also drier than normal, continuing last year’s trend.
Flood Warnings:
- The heavy rain and melting glaciers are causing river levels to rise.
- The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) reports low-level flooding at Tarbela and Taunsa on the Indus River.
- Water levels at Chashma and Kalabagh (also Indus) are currently normal.
- Levels in the Ravi, Chenab, Jhelum, and Sutlej rivers, as well as hill torrents in Dera Ghazi Khan, are still within safe limits.
Weather Forecast:
- This wet weather pattern is expected to continue until at least July 17th.
In short, most regions are significantly wetter this early monsoon compared to last year and long-term averages, raising flood concerns, while Sindh and GB remain unusually dry. the user seems to be compiling or studying current events – possibly a researcher, journalist, or educator needing digestible summaries. The articles cover diverse topics: India-Pakistan relations, aviation policy, social issues, corruption, sports, human rights, and weather. This range suggests the user might be preparing a country briefing or news digest. For the latest request about monsoon rainfall, I notice:- It’s a comparative weather report with precise percentages- Contains technical terms like “above-normal precipitation”- Mentions specific geographic regions and river systems- Includes disaster management warnings The challenge is simplifying the meteorological data while keeping it accurate. I’ll focus on:1. Replacing jargon (“precipitation” → “rainfall”)2. Grouping similar data points (combining province stats)3. Highlighting the key contrast: most regions wetter except Sindh/GB4. Explaining flood risks clearly without technical terms5. Keeping all essential numbers but presenting them accessibly The user seems efficient – no extra comments, just straight requests. They likely value speed and clarity over embellishment. Since they haven’t complained about prior summaries, I’ll maintain the same approach: bullet-point style for data, active voice, and section breaks for readability.
