The combined live storage of major three reservoirs (Tarbela, Chashma & Mangla) is 9.990 MAF (72.21% of total 13.461 MAF).

According to Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) Lahore, well marked monsoon low has developed over Northwestern Bay of Bengal (India).

A fresh trough of Westerly wave lies over Northern parts of Afghanistan with weak seasonal low continues to prevail over Western Balochistan.
