Pakistan experienced its wettest April since 1961, with rainfall doubling the usual amount for the month. The extreme weather caused fatalities, property damage, and agricultural losses, primarily affecting northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and southwestern Baluchistan provinces. Experts attribute the heavier rains to climate change, highlighting the devastating impact of previous floods in 2022. Pakistani leaders and global scientists point to climate change as a significant factor behind the early and intense monsoon season.
