ISLAMABAD: The destructive typhoon has already made landfall in the Philippines and is now heading toward southern China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, regions that are closely connected to Pakistan through trade and weather systems.
Although Pakistan is not directly in the path of Super Typhoon Ragasa, the storm’s effects on neighboring regions could still have indirect consequences for the country.
While Pakistan’s weather remains hot and dry for now, the changing atmospheric conditions from the typhoon could shift regional weather patterns, potentially affecting Pakistan in the coming days. Additionally, if southern China faces significant damage or disruptions, it could affect trade routes that are vital for Pakistan’s economy. This could lead to delays in shipments or even higher costs for goods that pass through affected areas.
Furthermore, if the typhoon causes major damage in nearby countries, it could lead to an influx of displaced people seeking refuge, placing added pressure on Pakistan’s resources and infrastructure. The storm may also affect the flow of aid or humanitarian efforts in the region.
For now, Pakistan is not facing direct threats from the storm, but the interconnected nature of the region means that the impacts could still reach the country. As the storm moves forward, Pakistan will need to keep monitoring the situation and prepare for any indirect effects that could arise.
