Punjab is expected to experience heavy rainfall until July 8 due to the monsoon spell

Punjab is set to enjoy an extended period of rainfall as western winds sweep across the region, offering relief from recent heatwaves. Chief Meteorologist Shahid Abbas has forecasted that the rains will persist until July 8, accompanied by thundershowers and a noticeable drop in temperatures.

The Meteorological Department reports that Lahore and other cities in Punjab will experience intermittent rainfall over the coming days. This weather pattern is due to the influence of western winds moving into the upper regions of Pakistan, affecting weather conditions across Punjab. The arrival of these western winds marks a significant shift in weather dynamics, resulting in cooler temperatures. This change comes as welcome relief from the intense summer heat experienced earlier.
