In Punjab, areas including Narowal, Kartarpur and suburbs received heavy rain which turned the weather pleasant. The rain, however, caused the feeders to trip, suspending the power supply to many areas. “It will continue raining for the next 24 hours,” the Meteorological Department said.

Cold winds also turned the weather pleasant in Lahore, Hafizabad and Karachi. Temperature is expected to hover around 24 degree centigrade in Lahore and 34 degree centigrade in Karachi.
