The 2025 monsoon season, which intensified from late June and peaked through mid-September, brought unprecedented rainfall across Pakistan, triggering widespread flash floods, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and riverine inundation. Secondary impacts persisted into October, including lingering waterlogging and infrastructure breaches, though receding floodwaters have allowed a gradual shift to early recovery, particularly in Punjab and other affected provinces like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Sindh, and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB). As of 30 October 2025, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) report stabilization in acute humanitarian needs, with 1,037 deaths (including 304 in Punjab and over 500 in KP) and 1,067 injuries. Displacement has fallen sharply to around 150,000 people, down from 3.0 million in September, as over 90 per cent of evacuees in Punjab—totalling more than 2.7 million individuals— have returned to their areas of origin amid drier conditions and below-normal October rainfall forecasts from the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
