The province of Sindh received 784% higher rain than usual and Balochistan received 500% more rain than normal.[8] Higher than average monsoon rains were also recorded in India and Bangladesh.[9] The Indian Ocean is one of the fastest warming regions in the world, warming by an average of 1°C (as opposed to the global warming average of 0.7°C).[9] The rise in sea surface temperatures is believed to increase monsoon rainfall.[10][9] In addition, southern Pakistan experienced back-to-back heat waves in May and June, which were record setting and themselves made more likely by climate change.[11] These created a strong thermal low that brought heavier rains that usual.[10] The heatwaves also triggered glacial flooding in Gilgit Baltistan.[11]
