Punjab Experiences Varied Rainfall:
In different parts of Punjab, from Bahawalpur to Lahore, the weather has taken a pleasing turn with intermittent light and occasional heavy rainfall. The strong winds accompanying the rain have created a refreshing atmosphere. The Meteorological Department has forecasted that these rains will persist until October 17th, making it a welcome change for the region.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Rainy Episode:
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s various regions, such as Lodhran, Khanewal, and Bannu, have witnessed heavy rainfalls, accompanied by strong winds. This meteorological event has ushered in a pleasant atmosphere for the residents. However, Jacobabad and Gwadar saw lighter rain, which still contributed to a cooler climate.
Multan Welcomes the Winter Season:
The city of Multan celebrated its first winter rainfall, marking the beginning of a cooler season. The light showers have significantly improved the weather, providing a much-needed respite from the scorching heat.
Mixed Bag of Rain in Lahore:
Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab, experienced mixed rainfall patterns, with light to heavy showers observed in different areas. Areas such as Golberg, Jail Road, and Lawrence Road saw showers, while places like Achhra, Kalma Chowk, Garden Town, and Johar Town received their share of precipitation.
Electricity Woes in Lahore:
In Lahore, the continuous rain caused disruptions in electricity supply, specifically due to the tripping of Lesco’s Scentalis feeder. In Qasur, fifteen feeders tripped, leading to power outages in several localities.
Karachi’s Unexpected Turn:
Karachi’s weather took an unexpected turn with the Meteorological Department’s predictions coming true. After initial dust-laden air in different parts of the city, light rainfall began, providing relief from the dry weather. Various areas, including Malir, Karsaz, and Super Highway, experienced the refreshing change.
Flash Floods Block Quetta-Karachi Highway:
In Balochistan’s Lasbela district, heavy rainfall near Othal Wayaro caused flash floods in rivers, resulting in the blockage of the Quetta-Karachi National Highway. This road closure led to long queues of vehicles, causing transportation disruptions.
These weather updates bring a sense of relief and rejuvenation to the people of Pakistan, making the recent rainfall a welcome change in various regions.
