August 2022 recorded 243% more rainfall than usual, marking it the wettest August since 1961. Prior to the floods, Pakistan experienced severe heatwaves that contributed to Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-111523.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118793\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-111523.png 743w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-13-111523-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lina Adil, co-author of the report, noted that Pakistan is unique in having a National Adaptation Plan, though its implementation remains uncertain.
