Floods
Beginning July 31, 2013, parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan experienced unusually heavy rainfall that caused widespread flash flooding. Flood waters began to recede on August 5, but more heavy rain was expected later in August and September, the heart of monsoon season. All but one area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan was flood-free by August 5, as the waters receded almost as quickly as they had risen.
