Lahore residents woke up to a noticeable change in weather this Thursday morning as heavy winds and dark clouds blanketed the sky, hinting at an upcoming rainfall.
The Meteorological Department reported that the air in Lahore holds a moisture content of 74%, accompanied by gentle winds blowing at speeds between 10 to 12 kilometers per hour. These conditions have contributed to a pleasantly cool atmosphere across the city.
Forecasters predict intermittent thundershowers throughout the day, promising a much-needed relief from recent sweltering conditions. “Lahore is likely to experience intermittent thundershowers today,” confirmed a Met Department representative.
Following the rain, a considerable drop in temperature is expected, offering respite to residents enduring the summer heat.

As Lahore prepares for intermittent thundershowers, authorities are urging caution on the roads due to potentially slippery conditions and reduced visibility. Drivers are advised to use headlights and maintain safe distances to ensure road safety during the rainfall.

Residents are encouraged to stay updated with the latest weather advisories throughout the day. While the thundershowers bring relief from the heat, it’s essential to remain vigilant and prepared for any sudden changes in weather conditions.
