The Met Office on Wednesday forecast widespread rains with isolated heavy thundershowers for Balochistan in the next two days. It warned that the heavy falls were feared to trigger flash flooding in vulnerable parts of the province. It asked the concerned authorities to remain alert keeping in view the unusual weather conditions in Balochistan during next 10 days.
"Most parts of Balochistan are likely to remain in the grip of an active weather system [a low pressure area, located over Southeast of Iran] during next two days," it said.
The weather system is likely to produce widespread rain, thundershowers with isolated heavy falls in Makran, Kalat, Naseerabad, Sibbi and Quetta divisions on Thursday and Friday.
The rains may also trigger flash flooding in vulnerable districts including Kech, Panjgur, Awaran, Khuzdar, Kalat, Bolan, Jhal Magsi, Sibbi, Harnai, Kohlu, Loralai and Quetta over the period.
"Another low pressure area is very likely to develop over the same areas of southern Iran during the coming week that will produce more rains of same intensity in Balochistan during mid of next week, recurring flash flooding in the vulnerable districts of the province," it said.
