A rain spell and hailstorm storms swept the Punjab on Thursday, bringing an essential relief after days of intense heat.
According to Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), a Western meteorological system entered the province, triggering precipitation in Lahore and other big districts, including Chakwal, Faisalabad, Jhelum, Joharabad, Mandi Bahauddin, Sargodha, Toba Tek Singh and Jhang.
In Lahore, the temperature has dropped significantly, with peaks now expected between 29 ° C and 26 ° C. The time change was accompanied by rain intervals throughout the morning, with a hail reported in certain regions.
The citizens welcomed the pleasant time tower, which followed temperatures that climbed up to 40 ° C earlier in the week, exacerbated by dry conditions.
The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has mobilized teams to manage drainage and ensure a smooth water flow to prevent urban floods.
The Met Office expects the rain system to leave the region this evening, with another pleasant time spell that should result from Friday.
However, the Sindh should experience an intense heat wave over the weekend, with temperatures that should increase up to 48 ° C in certain districts, according to PMD.
The hottest conditions are probably in Mohenjo Daro and Dadu, where the tops can touch 48 ° C and 47 ° C respectively, with low humidity levels intensifying the thermal impact.
Nawabshah, Sukkur and Mithi should also see summits greater than 44 ° C, while Hyderabad will hover about 41 ° C with high humidity up to 80%, which increases the discomfort for residents.
Karachi is likely to remain relatively softer, with maximum temperatures between 36 ° C and 38 ° C, but a humidity high at 77% will continue to create a sticky and warm environment.
Meteorologists have urged people to stay hydrated and avoid direct exposure to the sun during rush hour in the afternoon. Emergency services and healthcare providers were also invited to remain vigilant for heat -related cases.
