According to PMD, the rain will reduce the humidity and heat levels, and this monsoon shower is predicted to continue intermittently for the next three to four days.

In response to the anticipated heavy rains, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has issued an alert. Yesterday, the heavy downpour in several parts of the city led to water accumulation on the streets, posing challenges for residents. Following the late-night rain, district administration, along with Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) officials, were seen actively working to manage the water drainage.

Lahore is expected to experience temperatures ranging between a minimum of 28 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 35 degrees Celsius during this period.
