LAHORE (republic policy) – Heavy rain, accompanied by gusty winds, in Lahore in the wee hours of Wednesday turned the weather pleasant and brought the mercury considerably down, Dunya News reported.
The rain broke the spell of intensely hot and humid weather conditions, bringing respite for the heat-stricken people of the provincial capital.
Downpours in several areas inundated roads and streets in the provincial capital, and commuters and motorists faced immense difficulties while trying to carry on with their routine work.
Rain disrupted electricity in parts of Lahore as more than 200 Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) feeders tripped, plunging various parts of the city into darkness.
Other cities of Punjab, including Gujranwala, Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Jhelum, Phalia, Sharaqpur, Nankana and Sheikhupura, are lashed by rains. The continuous rain also inundated the low-lying areas in different cities, causing traffic disruption.
