The Met Office has forecast more rains in most parts of the country including Karachi‚ Southern Punjab‚ lower Sindh and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Rain/dust thunderstorm of light to moderate intensity is expected at scattered places in Karachi, Hazara, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Bahawalpur, Multan, DG Khan divisions. Rain/dust-thunderstorm is expected at isolated places in Kalat, Zhob, Makran, Sibi, Naseerabad and Sukkur divisions.
The deputy commissioner Islamabad has issued a red alert in the Islamabad district and the Capital Development Authority has banned boating and sporting activities in Rawal Lake for the time.
Satellite images of the region show that strong monsoon currents carrying dense clouds entered the south of Punjab and the eastern districts of Sindh via India.
The Met Office has said that rains following thunder and windstorms with isolated heavy rains are expected at various places in lower Sindh, especially in Hyderabad and Mirpur Khas divisions in the south by Tuesday evening.
It added that low air pressure will enter Pakistan during next twenty-four hours which is expected to cause heavy downpours in the areas.
The Met Office has warned massive rainfall may bring about the flooding of the rivers and streams in Dera Ghazi Khan‚ Multan‚ Bahawalpur‚ Sukkur‚ Larkana‚ Zhob‚ Sibbi‚ Naseerabad‚ Kohat and Bannu.
Monsoon currents are moving rapidly from the Bay of Bengal towards the west and north-west, while another pattern of clouds from the Arabian Sea is moving towards Sindh after entering into the Indian states of Gujrat and Maharashtra.
However, due to intense heat in the plains of northern India and Punjab in both India and Pakistan, moist high-pressure winds travel towards these low-pressure areas.
Temperature of some major cities recorded on Tuesday morning:
Islamabad 28°C, Lahore and Karachi 29°C, Peshawar 30°C, Quetta 21°C, Muzaffarabad and Gilgit 23°C, and Murree 19°C.
