June, July and August are the hottest months of the year while during September and October, the climate is very pleasant.
Utror river is the main river of Utror and Gabral valleys which meets Ushu river at Kalam, thus giving rise to Swat river. While moving from Kalam upward, the major tributary of Utror river is Anakar river from Anakar valley. Utror river is formed by the combination of Ladu river and Gabral river near the village of Utror. Ladhu river is originally arisen from the famous Kandole Lake. Desan khawar and Battal khawar are the notable tributaries of Ladhu river. Gabral river has arisen from Gabral Sin and Gul Abad Sin.
