Detailed weather covering summary of past days of july and focusing on coming weather in Pakistan !!
Summary of last 3 weeks:
Month of july started with monsoon rains across different parts of country and as a result monsoon start was declared as normal to above normal after seeing the progress and precipitation over country in last 3 weeks.

Many stations from central,northern and southern parts of country are above normal for month of july in rainfall.
Some cities are highlighted here:

Multan 94 mm
Kakul 330 mm
Peshawar 155 mm
Meanwhile we see some areas are below normal too as rains were observed to be mostly scattered to isolated with huge variations in intensity.Gujrat-sialkot-jhelum belt did not get any worth mentioning rains till day and remaining days also seem with chances of moderate rainfalls.

#Upcoming Week:
As we see since last two days rains focusing lower parts of sindh as well as much of kpk with some parts of southwest punjab.
Widespread heavy to extremely heavy rains expected in most of cities of sindh and parts of kalat.zhod divisions.
Heavy rains can be seen in different parts of kpk and south punjab as well.

#Flood update:
Flood related warning are already in air through media as rains have started cause land sliding, flash flooding in northern areas including sawat, dir chitral causing death toll to rise upto 34 till day (as per media).

Glacier burst in north areas of kashmir has made situation more worst as it can cause many villages to wipe way totally as it will flow down to plains... and after reaching plains it can cause high level extreme flooding in river Jhelum and further as water will move down towards south punjab it will be joined by flood water of rains in south punjab and same scenerio may continue throughout the indus river till it falls to sea.

So flooding will be seen in many parts of south punjab,kpk, northeast baluchistan and central/southern sindh in next 4-8 days.


#Depression to hit sindh:
As the parts of sindh getting good rainfall since last 2-3 days we see the depression present currently over Indian states of Gujarat-Rajasthan to effect sindh from sunday night/monday.
