PMD issues Glof alert for northern areas as several GB areas cut off for 5th consecutive day

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned of a glacial lake outburst flood (Glof) affecting Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the first week of August, highlighting the ongoing climatic challenges in the region. Commuters in these northern areas are struggling as roads remain blocked for five days due to flash floods and previous Glofs. This alert, a continuation of earlier warnings, underscores the persistent threat from both rising temperatures and intermittent rainfall, raising concerns about the safety and accessibility of these regions.
