💨 Abstract

Pakistan has issued warnings of potential glacial flooding in its northwest due to heavier-than-usual rains, with more rain forecast. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is particularly affected, prompting evacuation warnings. Authorities evacuated over 500 holidaymakers and are actively assisting flood-affected communities. Above-average monsoon rainfall has heightened concerns of repeating the devastating 2022 floods, with 260 fatalities so far this season.
