Light to heavy rainfall to continue in Balochistan for next 24 hours

As the western wind system sweeps across Balochistan, intermittent rain continues to lash various regions, promising relief from the scorching heat.

According to the Meteorological Department, this pattern is likely to persist for the next 24 hours, affecting both urban centres and remote areas alike.

In northern Balochistan, including Chaman city and its surrounding areas, the weather has taken a chilly turn as rain persists. Residents find themselves bundling up against the sudden drop in temperature. The Chaman deputy commissioner has alerted the administration throughout the district.

However, this respite comes at a cost as the supply of electricity has been disrupted, plunging neighbourhoods into darkness and causing inconvenience to the populace.

Furthermore, intermittent rain continues in Kohlu and its surrounding areas, due to which, the low-lying areas have been flooded and electricity supply suspended.

Jacobabad and its surroundings experienced heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, offering a refreshing change in weather. However, similar to Chaman, the joy was short-lived as power outages followed swiftly, adding to the woes of the local residents.

Meanwhile, Lahore finds itself under a different weather pattern. While the wind brings a pleasant breeze, the city remains cloudy with minimal chances of rain. However, amidst this relatively calm weather, a pressing concern looms -- the air quality index in Lahore has soared to a concerning 188, indicating deteriorating air quality.

Recent rains may exacerbate this issue, potentially leading to an increase in cases of malaria and dengue.
