Lahore is currently experiencing a heavy monsoon rain spell that will continue for the next three days. Dark clouds cover the city, and various areas are receiving light to heavy rainfall. The rain, accompanied by strong winds, has provided much-needed relief from the intense summer heat, making the weather more pleasant.
On Tuesday, Nishtar Colony recorded the maximum rainfall of 28mm, while other parts of Lahore, including Lakshmi Chowk, Gulberg, Upper Mall, Jail Road, Kalma Chowk, Walton Road, and Ferozepur Road, also experienced heavy downpours. This marks the second consecutive day of significant rainfall, as predicted by the Meteorological Department.
As the rain continues to drench the city, many people seek shelter under the Metro bus track and other covered areas to avoid getting soaked. The ongoing rain has not only cooled the city but has also brought a temporary break in the intensity of the summer heat.
The Meteorological Department confirms that this rain spell will persist for the next three days, so citizens should stay prepared and take necessary precautions.
In contrast, the monsoon rains are causing significant damage in Balochistan. In Quetta, accidents caused by the heavy rains have claimed three more lives. Since July 1, the monsoon’s impact in the region has killed 19 people, including seven children, and injured 11 others.
