Heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan

During the rainy season, Pakistan's rivers turn into raging torrents. Their floodwaters inundate many regions.

The monsoon in Pakistan, which has been ongoing for around three weeks, has now claimed more than 100 lives.

A further 250 people have been injured, and many have lost everything they own in collapsed houses.

Most of the victims are in the country's most populous province, Punjab, where persistent heavy rainfall has caused severe flooding in many places.

The monsoon season typically lasts from July to September in this region and neighbouring India. During this period, widespread flooding occurs repeatedly.

Due to the monsoon, an average of 11,870 litres of rain per square metre falls in the Indian village of Mawsynram. That is a world record.
