High risk of glacial floods in Gilgit-Baltistan and KP

The heatwave and changing weather in northern Pakistan have raised concerns about Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in the coming days.

Experts warn that rising temperatures in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa could speed up the melting of snow and glaciers.

This rapid melting, combined with expected weather changes, may lead to GLOFs and flash floods in vulnerable valleys and nearby areas during this week and the next.

People living in these regions are urged to stay alert and follow safety guidelines to avoid any dangerous situations. Authorities are also advised to take preventive measures to protect lives and property.
