According to the Irrigation Department, mid-level flood is being observed in River Kabul at Udezai, Warsak, Kalyani and Baghdada.

A low-level flood is being witnessed in River Swat at Tarbela, while similar situation is being observed at Sardyab and Shah Alam in Peshawar.

However, the water level is at normal at Sukkur Barrage in River Indus, where from it will reach Guddu transforming into a minor flood.

The Irrigation Department said that River Chenab is flowing normally alongside Gujranwala, yet it issued flood warning for River Indus and Chenab.
