A magic form and hailstorms swept across Punjab on Thursday and brought much needed relief after days of intense heat.
According to Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), a western weather system entered the province and triggered rainfall in Lahore and other major districts, including Chakwal, Faisalabad, Jhelum, Johanabad, Mandi Bahauddin, Sargodha, Toba Tea Tea and Jhang.
In Lahore, the temperature dropped significantly, with high expected heights between 29 ° C and 26 ° C. The change in the weather was accompanied by intervals of rain all morning, with hail reported in some areas.
Citizens greeted the pleasant turn in the weather, which followed temperatures that increased up to 40 ° C earlier in the week worsened by dry conditions.
Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) mobilized teams to control drainage and ensure smooth water flow to prevent flooding of cities.
The Met Office expects the rainy system to move out of the region tonight, with another spell that is expected to follow from Friday.
However, Sindh is expected to experience an intense heat wave this weekend, with temperatures expected to rise as high as 48 ° C in some districts, according to PMD.
The hottest conditions are probably in Mohenjo Daro and Dadu, where heights can affect 48 ° C and 47 ° C respectively, with low humidity levels that intensify the heat impact.
Nawabshah, Sukkur and Mithi are also expected to see heights above 44 ° C, while Hyderabad hovers around 41 ° C with a high humidity of up to 80%, increasing discomfort for the residents.
Karachi probably remains relatively milder, with maximum temperatures between 36 ° C and 38 ° C, but elevated humidity at 77% will continue to create a sticky and hot environment.
Meteorologists have encouraged people to remain hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure in the highest afternoon hours. Emergency Services and Health Services have also been asked to remain aware of heat -related cases.
