The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a weather alert forecasting heavy rains and potential flooding across Pakistan from August 23 to 30.

Northeastern Punjab districts like Rawalpindi, Attock, and Sialkot, along with southern Punjab areas including Dera Ghazi Khan, face elevated flood risks.
The Indus River may reach 500,000 cusecs at Taunsa, Guddu, and Kalabagh, while the Ravi and Chenab rivers could swell, threatening adjoining areas.
