Weather Changes in Pakistan
Meanwhile, other parts of the country also experienced changes in weather conditions, with cities in Punjab, including Lahore, receiving light rainfall. Areas like Kot Lakhpat, Township, Gulberg, Ichhra, and Cantt in Lahore were among those witnessing rainfall.
However, heavy showers led to the tripping of electricity feeders, and in Faisalabad, the roads resembled massive pools due to waterlogging.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issued a warning stating that moderate to heavy rainfall could lead to urban flooding in low-lying areas of Lahore, Gujranwala, and Rawalpindi. Furthermore, it cautioned that moderate to heavy rains might trigger landslides in vulnerable regions like Murree, Galliyat, Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Shangla, Buner, Mansehra, and Abbottabad from September 22nd to 24th.
