Start of Monsoon 2026 in Pakistan: Important Forecast by the Meteorological Department
The 2026 monsoon season has officially begun in Pakistan. According to the Meteorological Department, this spell of rains started on July 1st and is expected to continue until the end of September. During this period, weather conditions will continue to change in various parts of the country.
Meteorologists state that the months of July and August will be the most significant in terms of the monsoon. During these two months, the rains will be at their peak, which is expected to reduce the intensity of the heat. However, the pattern of rainfall this year may be somewhat different compared to previous years.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) stated in its report that there is a possibility of overall below-normal rainfall across the country this year. Although some areas may experience intermittent heavy rains, the total amount of rainfall at the national level is predicted to remain below average.
Special instructions have been issued for tourists and travelers. Those traveling to mountainous areas during the monsoon are advised to stay informed about the latest weather conditions. Due to the rains, the risk of landslides on mountain paths and slippery roads increases, so caution is necessary.
The government and relevant institutions have completed preparations to deal with any emergency situation. Citizens are requested to stay away from electric poles during the rains and avoid going near streams and drains. Updates will continue to be provided by the Meteorological Department on a daily basis so that the public can remain safe.
