The Met Office has issued a weather warning for various regions across Pakistan, including Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Upper Sindh, and South Punjab, forecasting heavy rain accompanied by thunder and hail within the next 24 hours.
This alert has prompted cautionary advice for wheat farmers, urging them to exercise care during harvesting activities.
While Islamabad and its surroundings might escape the brunt of the storm with just cloudy skies, wind, and lightning, other areas may experience heavier downpours.
Authorities are particularly concerned about the risk of flooding in local rivers of Harnai, Zhob, Barkhan, and Naseerabad. Additionally, landslides pose a threat in the country's upper regions.
Given these weather predictions, the Department of Meteorology is urging farmers to adjust their wheat harvesting schedules accordingly. Careful planning and organization will be crucial to minimize harvest losses due to potential downpours and wet fields.
