ISLAMABAD: The Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned that a new spell of monsoon will begin across the country from July 28, which will bring heavy rains, flash floods and urban flooding in many areas.

According to the Meteorological Department, thundershowers are likely in many areas of Islamabad, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa between July 28 and 31. Meanwhile, rain is expected in Balochistan from July 29 to 31 and in Sindh on July 30 and 31.
