Weather in Lahore
In Lahore, the recent rain did not significantly change the weather conditions but increased the humidity level. However, this caused several LESCO feeders to go down, resulting in power cuts in various parts of the city, including Green Town, Garden Town and Kot Lakhpat.
The LESCO transmission system has been affected and efforts are underway to restore the downed feeders. All organizations are on standby to effectively implement a rain contingency plan.
Weather in Karachi
Karachi continues to experience intense heat and humidity, with the current temperature recorded at 31 degrees Celsius and heat index up to 39 degrees Celsius. The humidity is 83%, so the weather is particularly unpleasant. The city is expected to witness an improvement in weather conditions once the sea breeze resumes in the city from this evening.
According to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz, the depression in the south was supposed to end two to three days ago but it has not moved from its position.
This change is expected to bring relief to the people of Karachi. There is also a chance of light rain with thunder in some parts of the city. However, the city will remain very hot and humid during the next 24 hours.
