Okara sits on the Indus River plain in Pakistan’s heartland, where a hot semi-arid climate concentrates most of the year’s rainfall into the summer monsoon season from July through September.
In Punjab’s agricultural heartland, the city’s canal-irrigated surroundings can flood when monsoon rain outpaces drainage capacity. The catastrophic 2010 and 2022 floods, both triggered by exceptionally intense monsoon rainfall combined with river discharge from further upstream, remain the reference events for how quickly this densely populated plain can flood, and Pakistan’s Meteorological Department relies heavily on radar during monsoon season.
