ISLAMABAD:
The NDMA on Thursday warned of widespread rain with thunderstorms across several districts in Punjab over the next two days, increasing the risk of river swelling in vulnerable areas due to rising water levels in upper catchments.
The National Emergencies Operation Centre (NEOC) has predicted heavy rain and thunderstorms in Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Gujrat, Gujranwala, and Lahore divisions.
Intermittent showers are likely in Peshawar, Kohat, Bannu, Sargodha, Faisalabad, and Zhob divisions, with a heightened risk of increased water flow in the upper reaches of rivers due to sustained rainfall.
