The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Thursday forecast said that many areas in the country will receive extraordinary monsoon rains from June to August.
This forecast is a relief amid the ongoing heatwave but is also concerning because of the fear of floods in the country, reports Geo.
As per the predictions by the weather department, there is a chance of usual and above-normal rains in most places this year. However, central and northern Punjab will remain affected the most.
While southern Sindh is expected to receive torrential rains, Balochistan might experience extraordinary rainy weather.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan are expected to experience average rainfall this year, informs the meteorological department.
The department has predicted heavy rainfall in the first phase of the monsoon in comparison with the second phase.
PMD has also predicted that Punjab and upper parts of the country are expected to receive rain during the ongoing week which could break the heat spell.
Severe heatwave conditions were likely to subside in upper parts if it rained, said the Met Department.
