Pakistan’s Wettest April in 60+ Years Sparks Climate Concerns 🌧️🔥

Pakistan just endured its rainiest April since 1961—with over double the usual rainfall—flooding streets, crushing infrastructure, and leaving communities scrambling. 🌍 The national weather center confirmed the record-breaking deluge, linking it to climate change-driven weather extremes.

💔 Scores of lives were lost, farms turned to swamps, and homes crumbled under relentless storms. The worst-hit areas? Northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and southwestern Balochistan, where muddy waters swept away livelihoods.

⚠️ This isn’t new: In 2022, summer floods submerged a third of the country, killing 1,700+ and causing billions in damage. Scientists and Pakistani leaders agree—climate change is rewriting the rulebook for monsoons.

📈 Last month’s rainfall spiked 164% above average—a stark warning of what’s to come as global temps rise. Can nations unite to slow the crisis? Stay tuned for updates. ✨
