Most of the deaths in the country are reported from the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where at least 330 people have been killed, according to the national disaster authority.
Approximately 2,000 rescue workers are still searching for survivors in the mountainous province. Many are said to have been killed when houses collapsed. At least 137 people have been injured.
A resident in the area tells the news agency AFP that the monsoon felt like the end of the world and that the ground shook with the force of the water.
The rescue efforts are being hindered by the fact that roads have been closed and rescue workers are being forced to walk to some of the worst-affected areas, says Bilal Ahmed Faizi, spokesperson for the rescue service in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
They are trying to evacuate survivors, but very few people are choosing to leave the area because their dead relatives or loved ones are stuck in the rubble, he says to AFP.
India has also been hit by heavy monsoon rains, and there reports of over 60 people having lost their lives on Friday.
This year's monsoon season is said to have started earlier than usual and is also expected to end later. According to the Pakistani disaster authority, the intensity of the monsoon is expected to worsen further in the coming week.
Floods and landslides often affect India and Pakistan during the monsoon season, which usually lasts between June and September. However, climate change is believed to be exacerbating the frequency, severity, and consequences of the downpours.
