Update

End of June marked the beginning of the Monsoon season in Pakistan with rains in the areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir(AJK), Northern parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPk) and the upper Punjab. The second spell of monsoon rains resulted in extensive flash flooding which proved devastating for the whole country and caused widespread damage especially in KPk, Punjab and Baluchistan. Hundreds of causalities have been reported from the area, as due to heavy floods and damage to infrastructure, hundreds of people are reported to be washed away or killed under debris of their falling houses.

According to the Met-Department's weather advisory released on 30th July 2010, a fresh monsoon low pressure, after developing in Bay of Bengal has entered in eastern parts of India. This weather system is likely to move west-northwest ward during next 24 hrs. Under the influence of this weather system, monsoon currents of light to moderate intensity are expected to penetrate in Punjab, Sindh and Kashmir from Sunday. The intensity of monsoon currents is very likely to increase from Monday, and therefore more monsoon rains/thundershowers are predicted in Pakistan from 2nd to 4th August, 2010.
