Unusually warm temperatures in Gilgit-Baltistan (Feb 1–22, 2026) accelerated snow and glacier melt, increasing glacial lake outburst flood risks downstream.
Unusually warm temperatures in Gilgit-Baltistan from February 1–22, 2026, with daytime highs 3–5°C above normal and nighttime lows 1–3.5°C above average, have accelerated snow and glacier melt, particularly at mid to lower elevations.
Reduced rainfall and clear skies limited overnight cooling, increasing meltwater runoff into glacial lakes and raising the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in downstream areas including Gilgit, Hunza, Bunji, Chilas, and Astore.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department warns that above-normal temperatures are expected through April 2026, heightening GLOF risks, and is monitoring conditions closely to issue timely advisories.
