Kohat sits in Pakistan’s northern mountains, where a more temperate climate than the plains below produces rainfall from both the summer monsoon and winter western disturbances moving in from the Mediterranean and Central Asia.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s hill country, the city’s Kohat Toi stream can rise quickly during intense mountain rainfall. Steep valleys and glacier-fed rivers mean that heavy rain, sudden snowmelt, or a glacial lake outburst can all raise water levels quickly, making radar an important tool alongside Pakistan’s flood-warning systems in this mountainous terrain.
