Rainfall is expected to begin today and last through July 1st throughout Punjab, according to the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA).

The police department and local authorities are urged to take the appropriate safety measures in light of the forecast weather.

The potential of urban flooding in a number of important cities, including Gujranwala, Narowal, Sialkot, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, has been brought to light by the PSDA. Additional difficulties for locals and infrastructure are anticipated as a result of strong storms and sporadic hail that are predicted to impact different regions around the province.

Along with observing a sharp rise in solar panel installations, the PDMA has recommended taking precautions to shield solar plates from strong storms. Additionally, the authority has urged the administrations of districts that are prone to flooding to clean up the canals and rivers’ channels in order to promote efficient water flow and reduce the risk of flooding.

A further warning not to cross rivers and canals during rainy or floody weather has been issued by the PDMA. The director general of the PDMA has stressed the need for rules against bathing in rivers and canals to be strictly enforced in order to protect public safety.

Lahore rains before the monsoon
On Wednesday, the temperature in Lahore reached 43 degrees Celsius, despite the city still experiencing extreme heat and humidity.

Residents still haven’t found reprieve despite the oppressive heatwave. Though a pre-monsoon rain storm is predicted to arrive in the city this week and possibly provide a much-needed respite from the heat, there is still optimism.

It is predicted that in two days, a rain system would move into the city, providing a little break from the stifling heat. Nonetheless, residents are being advised that there could be urban floods between June 28 and 30, which could make the already difficult circumstances worse.

Residents in places like Dharampura and Shadbagh are reportedly experiencing hourly load shedding, which is exacerbating their problems. The operations of the Lahore Electric Supply Company in the city, where 50 homes were found to have experienced electricity theft, have made this problem exponentially worse.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

Published

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
