The NDMA revealed that torrential rains could strike in the next 2 to 6 hours, posing a serious risk to lives and property. Areas under imminent threat include Murree, Galiyat, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, and adjoining regions.
According to the NEOC alert, a powerful system of towering cumulus clouds developed due to extreme heat on Friday. This weather system could unleash heavy rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms and dangerous lightning strikes.
Officials have also cautioned that hilly regions may face sudden landslides, while vulnerable infrastructure could be severely damaged. Widespread power outages are also feared.
The NDMA has advised residents to stay away from trees and unstable structures, keep vehicles parked in safe areas, and strictly avoid unnecessary travel during peak rainfall hours.
