Islamabad, Aug 23: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) chief meteorologist, Sardar Sarfraz, issued a prediction on Friday for the season’s intense monsoon spell, which was expected to affect Balochistan, all of Sindh, and southern Punjab. Residents were advised to take the appropriate safety precautions.
“Another monsoon spell is expected to hit Sindh from August 26, bringing with it a renewed wave of rainfall,” disclosed Sardar Sarfraz in an exclusive interview with PTV News.
Sarfraz issued a warning, stating that “the intensity of the rainfall is likely to remain between mild and harsh, potentially causing disruptions in daily life,” as the monsoon season was still in progress.
The public was reminded by Sarfraz’s advice to exercise caution and adopt the required safety precautions.
“Heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds are predicted during the upcoming monsoon spell. These conditions could cause flash flooding, landslides, and power outages.” He said, “Citizens can reduce the risks associated with this weather event by being informed and taking proactive measures.”
The forecast made by the Chief Meteorologist also emphasized the significance of readiness and backup plans. Since it was anticipated that the monsoon season would last, it was essential that the appropriate authorities and the public stay vigilant and take precautions against the effects of extreme weather.
He continued, “By cooperating, we can lower the risks and guarantee a safer, more resilient community.”
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz stated, “The monsoon intensity is expected to gradually subside after September 10–12, marking the end of the rainy season,” in response to a different question.
The oppressive humidity and rain will give way to a more pleasant weather pattern, he continued, “bringing a welcome relief to the people.”
“The region can anticipate a decrease in temperature and humidity as the monsoon withdraws, making the environment more comfortable for daily activities,” he stated.
In addition, Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz gave some encouraging news about the water reserves in the nation’s dams: two of the largest dams have acceptable water levels, guaranteeing an adequate supply of water to meet the population’s needs throughout the approaching summer months.
