The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), also known as the Indian Ni\u00f1o, is expected to remain in negative state, with increasing intensity towards the end of the forecast month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the global and regional circulation patterns, the countrywide outlook for Pakistan in August is a tendency for \u201cabove normal precipitation\u201d over most parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Northeastern Punjab, Kashmir, southern parts of Sindh as well as coastal areas of Balochistan are expected to receive \u201cabove normal\u201d rainfall during the forecast month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan may receive \u201cslightly above normal\u201d whereas Gilgit Baltistan may receive \u201cnearly normal rainfall\u201d during August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Impacts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Heavy rainfall 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.<\/li>
- Due to extreme hydro-meteorological events over catchments, riverine floods can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/li>
- Above normal temperatures in high altitudes are likely to increase rate of snowmelt in the Northern Areas subsequently increasing the chances of base flow in the Upper Indus basin.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mishaal Arshad C.M Underground News Karachi may receive heavy rainfall between August 12 and 14.
