The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted unusual rains this summer and warned of low magnitude flood in some areas of the country.
Director General Met Office Dr. Ghulam Rasool in an interview said north-eastern areas of the country including Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Gujranwala would receive 40 percent more rain than the normal in upcoming monsoon season. Similarly, Karachi-Hyderabad and Thar would also receive more rain than the normal that may result in a brief urban flood if the water courses and sewerage are not timely cleaned.
He said upcoming two months are important in terms of planning as how much we are prepared to cope with such a situation.
