Meteorological agencies predict that global warming has triggered severe droughts and floods in Pakistan and China. After a severe drought, Pakistan is now facing disastrous floods.

Although the rainy season in Pakistan is from June to August, the intensity of rainfall is higher this year. Heavy rains, floods and poverty have made life miserable in the country. Pakistan has received the highest rainfall in three decades this year. Rainfall is more than 780 % above average so far this year, said Abid Qayoum Suleri, executive director of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute and a member of Pakistan's Climate Change Council. Pakistan is considered the eighth most vulnerable country to climate change.

The situation in China is no different. In the southwest region, which suffered due to drought and heatwave last summer, about 100,000 people were moved to safer places due to the threat of floods. It is one of the two drought-hit villages that are now facing the threat of flooding. The last rainfall recorded here was 18.8 cm.

Villages and farmers who were suffering due to drought and water scarcity are now relieved. Factories that were suspended due to power shortages have started to function. On one hand, the rain helps, but on the other hand, there is also the threat of flooding.
