The horrific scale of the floods are not in doubt. “We are witnessing the worst flooding in the history of the country,” said Dr Fahad Saeed, a climate scientist with the Climate Analytics group, who is based in Islamabad.

The obvious cause is the record-breaking rainfall. “Pakistan has never seen an unbroken cycle of monsoon [rains] like this,” said Sherry Rehman, Pakistan’s climate change minister. “Eight weeks of non-stop torrents have left huge swathes of the country underwater. This is a deluge from all sides.” She said the “monster monsoon was wreaking non-stop havoc throughout the country”.

Climate change deniers are still denying.

The Facebook and Instagram reels from Pakistan are mindblowing and ultimately a sad reflection of why the death toll is so high.

Australia has floods, but nothing as deadly and forceful as these videos suggest.

Australia had some massive floods in 2022 with a total death toll of 22.

It was like a slow rising of water where rivers simply flooded small country towns slowly.

As bad as the Indus Valley is taking it, the monsoons seem very localized.  Just to Pakistan's east, the Indian provinces of Jammu & Kashmir, Rajasthan, and the rest of northern India are seeing much less in rainfall:

Is it going to get worse?

That's fake news. My sources say the exact opposite.

There are even floods visible on zoom earth, and the area has been much greener than before (the Thar desert is green now)



Further west, Iran and Afghanistan also had monsoon breakouts, even the UAE and Oman.

Here's some data to proof that you're wrong or the link you posted their claims are only at most half true, and selective.





the name of the provinces. All of Rajasthan has at least normal rainfall, quite a lot even excess or way above excess rainfall so far this monsoon. Jammu and Kashmir is about normal. The only provinces where it hasn't been great is Bihar, Jharkand, West-Bengal and Uttar Pradesh which usually get a lot of rainfall anyways on average. You can say that compared to central and southern India it disappoints a bit more, especially in areas that get a lot of rainfall usually (but not by a lot).

Rajasthan however definitely is not among them, and so are most border areas of Pakistan.

"Very localized" also is ridicilous since the surface area of India and Pakistan are huge (esp. when you reason that because they're closer to the equator than Europe and USA, it's even larger than on the map).



Basically floods that are the worst in the area of Utah would be considered weird because it happens to be a bit drier than normal in Saint Louis.

Also based on predictions i've seen, monsoon withdrawal in northern India will likely be delayed, meaning that they'll get some rainfall in areas that have deficiencies anyways.

Normal rainfall for last 90 days



Actual rainfall for last 90 days

More rainfall than average for Pakistan, expansion into parts of Afghanistan and Iran, as well as parts of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman and even Qatar got reached by those monsoon rains for a period.

One specific part of Pakistan has an average rainfall for this period between 25 and 50 mm. According to the chart this year they got over 1500 metres. That's an increase of 15 times the average for that particular (small) region.



Specifically here in Naushahro Feroze



Climatologically it should receive 108.5 mm yearly, 72.4 mm of it in july & august. This year it got 1733 mm, meaning an increase of about 24 times the rainfall it should normally get, and 17 times more than it normally yearly gets, which means that in those two months the amount of rainfall felt that would be expected to fall in 17 years.
