(Last Updated On: )
Afghanistan’s Meteorological Department (AMD) on Tuesday issued a flash flood warning for nine provinces, including Kabul and Parwan.
AMD said on its website rain and possible flooding can be expected in Kabul, Kunar, Nuristan, Laghman, Kapisa, Panjshir, Parwan, Nangarhar and Badakhshan provinces over the next 24 hours.
Rainfall of between 10 and 20 mm has been forecast.
This warning comes after August’s torrential rain across 13 provinces left close to 200 people dead and thousands homeless.
The worst-hit province was Parwan, which saw torrents of water destroy hundreds of homes in the provincial capital Charikar.
