The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Thursday issued weather outlook for September 2022 after predicting more rains in the upcoming month.
The Met Office predicts that at least two monsoon systems will likely bring substantial rains to the month of September.
According to the Met Department’s most recent forecast, September is anticipated to see normal to above average precipitation across the nation.
“The rainfall is expected to be above normal over northeastern Punjab and Sindh. Most parts of Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan are expected to receive normal to slightly above normal rainfall whereas Gilgit-Baltistan and northern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa may receive nearly normal rainfall during the forecast month,” the outlook stated.
Rainfall Impact
- Isolated heavy downpours can trigger flash flooding in hilly areas of Punjab, AJK and KP, as well as urban flooding in plain areas i.e. major cities of Punjab, Sindh and KP but the likelihood remains lower as per climatology of the forecast month.
- Sufficient water for irrigation and power sectors will be available during the forecast month.
- Rains during the month of September may have a good impact on the growth and vegetation of kharif crops
