After many days of extremely hot weather, good news is on the way for people living in Punjab and Islamabad. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has said that there may be rain, windstorms, or thunderstorms this weekend, which will help bring temperatures down.
A light weather system from the west is expected to arrive soon. This system could bring scattered showers across the region. These rains are likely to cool down the weather and give people some much-needed relief from the recent heatwave.
In the last few days, temperatures in some areas of Punjab have reached as high as 46°C. Many people have been struggling to deal with the intense heat, especially during the daytime.
The weather department has also warned people to be careful during sudden weather changes like strong winds or thunderstorms. They have advised the public to stay indoors as much as possible during storms and to avoid traveling or going outside unnecessarily.
People are also being reminded to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest hours of the day.
Authorities are keeping an eye on the situation and will share more updates if the weather changes. For now, the forecast offers hope that cooler, more comfortable weather is on the way.
