Lahore weather

In Lahore, the recent rain did not significantly alter the weather conditions, but increased the level of humidity. However, it caused several LESCO feeders to trip, leading to power outages in various parts of the city, including Green Town, Garden Town, and Kot Lakhpat.

The LESCO transmission system was affected, and efforts are underway to restore the tripped feeders. All organizations are on alert to implement the rain emergency plan effectively.

The Met Office has forecast rain for today, tomorrow and the day after.

Karachi weather

Karachi continues to experience intense heat and humidity, with the current temperature recorded at 31 degrees Celsius and the heat index feeling as high as 39 degrees Celsius. The humidity level stands at 83%, making the weather particularly uncomfortable. The city is expected to see an improvement in weather conditions once the sea breeze resumes in the city from this evening.

According to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz, the low pressure in the south was supposed to end two to three days ago, but has not moved from its place. The low pressure area is likely to dissipate today and move towards Oman.

This change is anticipated to bring relief to the residents of Karachi. There is also a possibility of light rain with thunder in some parts of the city. However, during the next 24 hours, the weather will remain very hot and humid in the city.
