10th Monsoon Spell
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted the arrival of the tenth monsoon spell across the country, bringing intermittent rainfall to many regions from September 6 to September 10, 2025. This latest wave of monsoon activity is expected to bring varying intensities of rain, with heavy showers predicted in specific areas, raising concerns of urban flooding and landslides.
Rain Forecast Across Provinces
According to the PMD, the province of Sindh will experience rainfall from September 6 to 9, with some areas receiving heavy downpours during this period. Cities such as Karachi, Hyderabad, and Sukkur are likely to be impacted, especially given the prior instances of poor drainage infrastructure that heighten the risk of urban flooding.
In the federal capital, Islamabad, as well as in various districts of Punjab, rain is forecasted between September 6 and 8. The rainfall may bring temporary relief from the heat, but could also disrupt transportation and daily activities, particularly in low-lying areas prone to water accumulation.
The province of Balochistan is expected to see rain between September 7 and 9, with the possibility of moderate rainfall in several districts. While rain is generally welcomed in this arid region, it can also lead to flash flooding in areas with inadequate drainage systems.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the rainfall is anticipated from September 7 to 9, especially in northern and upper regions. Given the hilly terrain, there is an increased risk of landslides, which could potentially block roads and disrupt travel and communication lines.
Warnings and Preparedness
The PMD has issued advisories to local authorities and residents, urging them to remain cautious, especially in flood-prone urban centers and mountainous areas vulnerable to landslides. Citizens are advised to stay updated with weather alerts and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during this monsoon spell.
This upcoming spell marks the continuation of an active monsoon season that has already caused disruptions in various parts of the country. With more rain on the horizon, emergency services and municipal authorities are expected to stay on high alert.
