According to MET officials, heavy rainfall is expected from August 7 in several areas including Dir, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Murree, Galliyat, and Kashmir. The downpours could lead to increased water flow in local streams and nullahs, posing a risk of flash flooding.

Weather officials stated that a seasonal low lies over northwest Balochistan, while monsoon currents are actively penetrating the upper parts of the country. A westerly wave is also affecting northern regions.
