Pakistan’s major rivers are currently flowing within normal ranges, with the flood situation easing across the country as the monsoon season comes to an end.

According to the latest Daily Flood Bulletin issued by the Flood Forecasting Division of the Pakistan Meteorological Department on October 1, the Indus, Kabul, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi and Sutlej rivers are all below low flood levels.

All major rivers were reported to be flowing normally at gauging stations at 6am, while normal flows are expected to continue at the rim stations.

The weather is expected to remain mainly dry across most parts of Pakistan during the next 24 hours. However, isolated rain, wind and thunderstorms may occur in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Over the next 48 hours, isolated rainfall is expected in areas including Chitral, Kohistan and Swat, along with several districts of Gilgit-Baltistan.

The Flood Forecasting Division said atmospheric conditions are favorable for the withdrawal of the monsoon. No further monsoon systems are expected to reach Pakistan during the current year.

For October 2 to 8, no significant weather activity is expected across the country. However, a westerly system may affect northern areas on October 6 and 7.

The flood outlook also indicates that river flows are expected to remain normal at all rim stations during the period.

At 6am, Tarbela Dam stood at 1,523.76 feet, with 74.00 percent of its live storage filled. Mangla Dam was at 1,210.50 feet, with 67.62 percent of live storage available.

No rainfall was recorded in the relevant river catchments during the 24 hours preceding the bulletin.

The latest assessment indicates that major rivers have moved away from flood levels, while the overall flood risk is expected to remain low in the coming days.
