Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) categorically clarifies that no cloudburst occurred in Chakwal between July 16 and 17, 2025. Moreover, amount of rainfall 423mm as reported by unauthorized sources was also erroneous and extremely misleading. The data from PMD’s Doppler weather radar and rain gauge network recorded no such rainfall meeting the cloudburst criteria, which is typically defined as over 100 mm of rain within an hour over a limited region/area.

Official PMD data confirms that rainfall across all stations in Chakwal, including those operated by the Agriculture Extension Department as well as Pakistan Air Force remained below 150 mm accumulated during the past 24-hour period. The rainfall event was part of a widespread monsoon spell, not an intense or isolated occurrence such as a cloudburst.

Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) emphasizes that its observational network operates in line with standards set by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Therefore, PMD advises all media outlets and concerned departments to verify meteorological claims with official PMD data before dissemination. The circulation of inaccurate rainfall statistics and attribution to cloudbursts can lead to public misinformation and unnecessary panic.

PMD remains committed to providing real-time, transparent, and scientifically validated weather data. For further clarification, stakeholders are encouraged to contact PMD’s National Weather Forecasting Centre in Islamabad or Regional Meteorological Centres in provincial capitals of the country.
