Westerly winds have brought a welcome relief to Lahore as temperatures dropped significantly due to the onset of monsoon winds since Thursday.
According to the Met Department, this marks the beginning of the monsoon season in the country, with rains expected to commence from July 3 onwards.
Chief Meteorologist Shahid Abbas highlighted that the monsoon rains will not only bring relief from the intense heat but also lower the overall temperature across the region.
Currently, the country is experiencing a mix of cloudy and sunny weather throughout the day, a pattern expected to persist in the coming days.
Lahore weather
In Lahore, the impact of the westerly winds has been evident with a noticeable decrease in the intensity of heat. The city's weather has begun to transition, and temperatures have moderated.
The Met Department forecasts a chance of rain as the monsoon weather pattern establishes itself.
Despite the temperature drop, Lahore continues to face challenges with electricity supply. Load shedding persists in various areas, including Amir Town, Nai Abadi, Dharampura, and Mustafaabad, adjacent to the Main Canal Road.
Last night, the city experienced power outages due to a damaged transformer, exacerbating the inconvenience for residents.
Meanwhile, the Met office predicted partly cloudy weather in the port city of Karachi with moderate to heavy rain expected in the city on Friday. The Meteorological department said that sea breezes are likely to resume this evening as the percentage of humidity in the air is 74%.
