Pakistan is located from southwest to Northwest at 23-37 degrees north latitude and 61-76 degrees east latitude on the map of the world. This is the beauty of nature and the fortune of Pakistan as it is blessed by so much diversified climate patterns around the year. In northern areas of Pakistan, the temperature gets as low as 25 Celsius degree and in the southern areas of the country, the temperature rises as high as 55 Celsius degree.

Southwest monsoon season in Sri Lanka enters in late May just before it enters the Indian subcontinent. In India, it enters in June and in Pakistan in early July and remains till the end of September. The summer monsoon season in Pakistan is of great importance for its agricultural, economic, and social purposes. These rains are not only used for the water needs of plants in the agricultural sector but also to kill insects by physical beating. By irrigating the fields, certain insect pests like crickets attacking the cotton seedlings and the white ants attacking cotton, sugarcane, chilies, and other crops can be drowned in rainwater and thus crops can be saved. Monsoon in Pakistan contributes almost 65-75 % of the total annual rainfall.
