More than 60 people were killed in Malakand alone while Swat itself was cut off as
heavy rains swept away several bridges and disrupted communications.
The floods came as the country mourned the death of 152 people in a plane crash.
The crash near Islamabad on Tuesday was also caused by bad weather, officials said as investigations continued.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province received between 250 mm and 300 mm of rain in the past 36 hours -
the highest figure recorded in the last 35 years, Pakistan's meteorological department commissioner Qamar Zaman said.
