Monsoon 2026 Begins in Pakistan: Meteorological Department's Important Forecast
The 2026 monsoon season has officially begun in Pakistan. This season usually starts in July every year and continues until the end of September. This year as well, the spell of rains has started in various parts of the country from July 1st, which is expected to reduce the intensity of the heat.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the months of July and August will be the most significant for the monsoon this year as rainfall reaches its peak during these two months. However, experts have highlighted an important point that there is a possibility of overall below-normal rainfall across the country this year.
Although the amount of rainfall is predicted to remain low, citizens are still advised to take precautionary measures. Especially those planning to travel during these months should check the latest weather conditions before leaving home. Tourists traveling to hilly areas need to be more cautious as there could be a risk of landslides due to sudden rain.
The government and relevant institutions have completed preparations to deal with any emergency situation. Citizens have been urged to stay away from electric poles and wires during rain to avoid any accidents. The Meteorological Department will keep the public continuously informed about weather changes in the coming days.
