In Lahore, clouds have been engulfing the city since the early hours of the monsoon season. There have been reports of significant rainfall in a number of locations, including Model Town, Calvary Ground, Walton, DHA, Wahdat Road, Kalma Chowk, Mall Road, Garhi Shahu, Railway Station, Brandreth Road, Gulberg, and Ferozepur Road.

Now that the temperature has dropped considerably, the weather has turned quite nice. This rainy period is expected to last from July 4 to July 7, according to Met Department estimates.

A low of 26 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 34 degrees Celsius are predicted for Thursday. Additionally, there is a chance of thunderstorms at different times of the day.

Rawalpindi and Islamabad
It started to rain late at night and kept on sporadically in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Pleasant weather has returned, with a notable drop in the summertime heat and humidity.

In several parts of Islamabad, such as Blue Area, Zero Point, Aabpara, F-6, F-7, G-6, and G-7, light to heavy rain has been reported. Bhara Kahu, Bari Imam, Bani Gala, and Alipur Farash have also reported receiving rain.

Additional rain is predicted, along with thunderstorms and strong winds, according to the Met Department.

Some cities in Punjab
It’s a lovely weather in Wazirabad, with reports of heavy rain in the city and its environs. A lot of feeders have tripped as a result of the rain-induced power outages in various regions of the city.

In Gujrat, most parts of the city are seeing sporadic rain, which raises the temperature and humidity. Many feeders have tripped as a result of the rain, severely disrupting the GEPCO system.

Along with the intense heat, Gujar Khan also had heavy rains and chilly winds. The area’s electrical supply has been hampered by the rain, despite the good weather previously.

Daska experienced significant rain, which relieved the heat in the city and its outskirts. Despite the fact that the rain has caused multiple electricity feeders to trip, the weather has improved with mild breezes.

areas in the north
The Met Department has predicted severe rain in a few locations in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), northeastern Punjab, and the Potohar region. There will likely be a major shift in the weather patterns that will relieve the summer heat in these locations.

It is anticipated that rain would fall in the evening and nighttime hours in south KP, central Punjab, and northeast Balochistan. The much-needed relief from the hot and muggy weather that has been plaguing these areas will come from the expected showers.

Though they have also presented difficulties like power outages and increased humidity, the monsoon rains have provided much-needed reprieve from the summer heat in many parts of Pakistan.
