  "summary": "The Flood Forecasting Division of Pakistan's Meteorological Department has issued a warning of potential high flooding in storm-water nullahs linked to the Chenab and Ravi rivers, which may enter the high flood category from August 15 to 21. While major rivers like the Indus, Kabul, Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej are expected to remain at low flood levels, adjoining nullahs could experience low to medium flooding, and significant increases in tributary nullah flows could lead to high flood levels. The department also cautioned for flash flooding in tributary streams of the Kabul River and hill torrents in the Dera Ghazi Khan division during the forecast period.",
