The seventh monsoon spell has reached Lahore and most parts of Punjab, offering much-needed relief from recent heat and humidity. Light showers began early in the morning, making the weather pleasant across the provincial capital.
Several areas, including Kalma Chowk, Lakshmi Chowk, Liberty, Ichhra, and nearby localities, reported steady drizzle. Inner Lahore, Badami Bagh, Bhati Gate, Garhi Shahu, the Railway Station, and areas near Lorry Adda also experienced light rainfall.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, intermittent rain — ranging from light to heavy — is expected to continue throughout the day. This seventh monsoon spell is likely to persist until tomorrow, bringing cooler temperatures and cleaner air to the region.
Residents have welcomed the rainfall, noting the drop in temperature after days of oppressive heat. The pleasant weather has encouraged many to step out, while shopkeepers and street vendors reported an increase in customers enjoying the cooler climate.
However, authorities have advised caution, especially in low-lying areas that are prone to waterlogging during heavy rain. Lahore’s Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) teams have been placed on alert to ensure quick drainage in case of urban flooding.
The Meteorological Department has also forecast that more rain is expected in various parts of Punjab during the coming days. This seventh monsoon spell could help reduce electricity demand by lowering the use of air conditioning, offering some relief to the power sector.
As the monsoon season progresses, officials urge citizens to stay updated with weather advisories and take necessary safety measures. While the rain brings much-needed comfort, it also requires preparedness to avoid disruptions caused by heavy downpours.
