Extreme weather shifts are experienced globally when an abnormal cooling of sea surface takes place, creating a La Nina effect.

According to UN-OCHA sit-rep, KP, GB will be most impacted by the cold conditions precipitated by La Nina. It will increase the Glof risk, as Kharif crop harvesting will be disrupted. Pakistan is likely to face record breaking winters this year. Pakistanis, embrace yourselves for the coldest winters of the decades. It will be even difficult for those families already affected by flood conditions, specially in Northern parts of Gilgit Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as indicated in the latest situation report on Pakistan’s monsoon floods, compiled by the Intersector Coordination Group in collaboration with other partners.
