Temperatures dropped considerably after heavy rain lashed Sarai Alamgir and its outskirts.

People, suffering from intense heat for the last several days, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Cool breeze following the rain turned the weather even more pleasant.

Thundershowers were also reported from Wazirabad and its surrounding areas.

Similarly, heavy rain in Muridke and Kamonke brought smiles to people’s faces since they were bearing extreme heat for the last several days.

Though it rained in Narowal only for half-an-hour, still it was sufficient to inundate the entire city as low-lying areas turned into pools of water while all feeders tripped, resulting in the suspension of power supply to the city.

Likewise, rain was also reported from Gujranwala, Kharian, Shakargarh, Kartarpur, Azizabad, Chamal, Noorkot and outskirts.
