On Wednesday, Lahore weather becomes pleasant as city and its neighboring regions were battered by heavy rain and windstorms, causing significant disruptions.
While the rainfall brought a welcome relief from the oppressive heat, it also led to widespread power outages, leaving many residents frustrated.
Additionally, several low-lying areas were inundated with water, creating large puddles and complicating daily life.
In other parts of Pakistan, Karachi and Islamabad experienced rainfall on Tuesday, raising concerns about potential urban flooding.
These weather events are part of the broader monsoon season affecting the country.
A few days prior, Lahore and its surrounding areas also saw rain showers, providing much-needed respite from the hot weather and marking the arrival of the monsoon.
Various parts of the city, including Lakshmi Chowk, Shimla Pahari, Davies Road, The Mall, Chowburji, Mozang, Ferozepur Road, and Ichhra, reported light to moderate rain.Residents welcomed the rain, which brought down temperatures and alleviated the sultry conditions.
The intermittent showers led to a significant drop in temperature, with the mercury falling by about 12 degrees Celsius.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), Lahore’s minimum temperature is expected to be around 22 degrees Celsius, with a maximum of up to 33 degrees Celsius after the rain reduced the intensity of heat and humidity.
Lahore is forecasted to have a mix of sun and clouds, with the possibility of more rain at night.
However, the monsoon system is predicted to move out of the area by tomorrow.
Earlier, on June 3, reports indicated that the relevant departments were preparing to handle the monsoon season.
However, the Lahore district administration and WASA faced a shortage of resources, including staff and modern equipment, to effectively manage the rains.
Moreover, many of the city’s sewerage pipelines are outdated and have not been replaced for an extended period, adding to the challenges posed by the monsoon rains.
