A wave of destruction has engulfed the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; in recent days, reports of fatalities, injuries, and significant property damage have surfaced.

The rainy weather over the last five days has caused a number of catastrophic accidents, according to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA). As a result, there have been 35 fatalities and 43 injuries from various occurrences.

Residential areas have been severely damaged by the unfavourable weather, with 346 dwellings left partially demolished and 46 entirely devastated by the constant downpours. Numerous families have been left homeless and struggling to make ends meet as a result of the rains.

Sadly, the bad effects of the bad weather go beyond injuries among people and damage to property; in certain places, the torrential rains and ensuing snowfall have resulted in the deaths of 76 cattle.

Concerns have been raised about the worsening of the already terrible situation after the PDMA issued warnings of further rainfall that is predicted to pummelled the province in the upcoming days.

Authorities have mobilised to aid the affected communities as part of relief activities in reaction to the catastrophe. To help the victims in Charsadda, Lower and Upper Dir, Bajaur, Khyber Nowshera, and Peshawar, relief supplies have been sent to them in an effort to lessen their suffering and take care of their urgent needs.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s communities’ fortitude and camaraderie are being tested as they deal with the fallout from these terrible storms. As the province works through these trying times, efforts to lessen the effects of the tragedy and help those impacted are still crucial.

75% of the water that had collected in the city has been cleared, according to the Pakistan Army, Navy, PDMA Balochistan, and other organisations that are performing rescue and relief activities in Gwadar.

The procedure for harvesting water is still ongoing. A PDMA spokeswoman stated, “People have been relocated from the residential areas where water had pooled to safer places.

Since the Arabian Sea winds that normally moderate the city’s climate were suspended, Karachi has been experiencing sweltering weather since the morning.

As per the Met Office, the city’s minimum temperature today was recorded at 27 degrees Celsius. Temperatures will feel between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius, with a maximum anticipated to hit 37 degrees, according to the weather office.

As reported by the Met Office, the port city’s humidity ratio rose to 77 percent.

Even during the worst heatwaves in the area, the sea breeze’s cooling influence on the environment typically manages the city’s temperature.

After the city of Karachi was shut off to winds coming from the Arabian Sea, a severe heatwave in June 2015 resulted in over 1100 heat-related deaths.

About 400 kilometres out from Karachi, an unusual weather system occurred in the Arabian Sea that killed the sea wind. It was a large, low-pressure area that eventually developed into a depression.

Over a few days, the depression stayed afloat in the Arabian Sea, raising the temperature in Karachi by ten degrees Celsius and resulting in an unusual number of deaths from the severe weather during Ramadan in 2015.
