Why it matters

Mansehra, located in the upper regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is directly exposed to severe natural hazards. The increased risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) and landslides poses a significant threat to local infrastructure, homes, and human life during the predicted heavy rainfall period.

This weather event is part of a broader pattern of severe weather across Pakistan. Heavy downpours have already caused widespread flooding and damage in multiple districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and South Punjab, demonstrating the acute vulnerability of the region to climate-related disasters.
