Pakistan Witnesses 51% More Rainfall Than Average in Monsoon 2024

Pakistan has experienced an unprecedented 51% increase in rainfall during the 2024 monsoon season compared to the long-term average, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The surge in precipitation has triggered flash floods, landslides, and severe urban flooding in various regions across the country.

This unusual monsoon pattern, which typically brings essential rain to Pakistan’s agriculture-reliant economy, has this year resulted in widespread devastation. Provinces like Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were among the hardest hit, with river overflows, damaged infrastructure, and displaced communities.

Experts link the abnormal rainfall to global climate change, emphasizing the urgent need for adaptive measures to cope with extreme weather patterns. Authorities are working on rescue and relief operations for affected areas, while the government has called for greater international cooperation to address the escalating impact of climate change in the region.

The PMD warns that such heavy monsoons could become more frequent in the future if mitigation strategies for climate resilience are not adopted.
