ISLAMABAD – Torrential rains are predicted in parts of Pakistan from September 6 onward.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), a low-pressure system lies over Madhya Pradesh (India). It will likely move west-northwestwards and reach Rajasthan and adjoining parts of Sindh on 6 September.
Due to this weather system, strong monsoon currents will likely penetrate Sindh and eastern Punjab from September 6 onwards.
Under the influence of these meteorological conditions, torrential rains are predicted in parts of Pakistan from September 6 to September 9.
