Satellite detected water extents in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab Provinces, Pakistan (31 July 2025)

This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab Provinces, Pakistan, as observed from Sentinel-2 satellite images acquired on 31 July 2025 at 13:02 local time (08:02 UTC). Within the analyzed area of approximately 83,000 km², about 6,300 km² of land appears to be affected by floodwaters. The floodwater extent appears to have increased by approximately 1,300 km² since 11 July 2025. Based on WorldPop population data and the flood extent, approximately 2.3 million people are potentially exposed or living close to the flooded areas.
