The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted another spell of heavy rains from today March 5 to March 7. In an advisory the authority has warned that weather in the upcoming weeks could lead to flash flooding, snow bloackages and landslides in multiple parts of the country.

The area’s most likely to be affected by the rains include Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, Upper and Southern Punjab and Balochistan, it said. Meanwhile, the weather will remain cold and dry in most parts of the country.

According to the PMD, Sindh will remain in the grip of a severe cold wave. The temperature in the province will be 10 degrees lower in a couple of days as compared to the normal March weather. “The normal average temperature for March in Karachi is 19.4°C. Today, the temperature in Karachi was 11.1°C, which is 8.3°C lower than the normal March weather,” the PMD stated.

More than 30 people have died in rain-related incidents in Pakistan during days of heavy downpours, with thousands of schools closed, officials said. Widespread heavy rain since Thursday has caused severe disruption in some areas of the country.—APP
