At least 29 people have died in Pakistan due to unusually heavy rainfall for this time of year. This was confirmed by spokespersons for the rescue authorities on Sunday. The victims were reported in several provinces of the country, where there had been thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in the past few days. According to the meteorological department, further storms are expected in the country in the coming days.
The South Asian country does not usually experience such heavy rainfall and flooding at this time of year. However, extreme weather events are on the rise in Pakistan. Experts blame climate change for this. In the summer of 2022, record floods occurred in Pakistan, which temporarily flooded a third of the country and, according to official figures, killed more than 1,700 people.
