Northern Mountains
The northern mountain barrier influences the rainfall pattern in Pakistan by intercepting monsoon (rain-bearing) winds from the south. Melting snow from the mountains also feeds rivers, including the Indus, which emerge from the east-west aligned ranges to flow southward

Rainfall in mountain areas is called: Orographic rainfall.
Because it is very humid.
Western areas of Pakistan are covered with Baluchistan plateau. As the ratio of rainfall in Pakistan is not predictable, flow of streams and rivers can't measured exactly. There is another semi-watered plateau covering Chakwal, Rawalpindi, and Salt range which is known as Pothowar Plateau. The 61 percent population of Pakistan lives in the plain areas of Punjab, the largest Province of Pakistan.

Average of rainfall in Pakistan about 15 inches.
Pakistan has wide variations of rainfall because the country is vast.The country usually face both the drought and floods.
These winds do not rise in Pakistan but they come from the Mediterranean Sea, which is to the west of Pakistan. These winds enter Pakistan from places like Peshawar in the northwest and they further go to Baluchistan but the amount of rainfall is very less as compare to the amount of rainfall in Peshawar.
Rainfall on the windward and leeward sides of a mountain differ in the amount, whereby the windward side receives more rainfall.
17,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 per 10 years

Rainfall in mountain areas is called: Orographic rainfall.
The correct spelling is orographic rainfall instead of orographic rainfall. When moist air is lifted over a mountain by the wind, the result is orographic rainfall.
Orographic
The rainfall in Pakistan is mainly from monsoon winds and Western Depressions.The monsoon winds bring rainfall during summer season , which is variable in amount, timings and distribution.The winter rainfall is more effective because it comes in light showers that continue for several days.However, the amount of winter rainfall is not sufficient and cannot be relied on. Generally, the rainfall in Pakistan is neither dependable nor enough in quantity.
