News Desk

Islamabad: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a weather advisory warning of unstable weather conditions across several parts of the country from May 1 to 7.

According to the NDMA’s National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC), heavy rainfall, windstorms, thunderstorms, lightning, and isolated hailstorms are forecast in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Upper and Central Punjab, northern Balochistan, and southern Sindh.

The adverse weather is attributed to a surge in moisture from eastern regions and the Arabian Sea, intensified by rising temperatures and humidity. The NDMA warned that low-lying areas could experience waterlogging, while hilly regions may face landslides.

Authorities have advised all concerned departments and the public to remain alert and take necessary precautions. Travelers are particularly urged to check weather updates beforehand.

The NDMA emphasized the importance of using the Pak NDMA Disaster Alert App for real-time alerts and advisories. The agency is actively monitoring the situation through NEOC in coordination with provincial and district authorities to ensure timely response and public safety.

Citizens are urged to follow official safety guidelines and remain vigilant throughout the forecasted weather spell.
