Lahore Weather Update Today

Lahore and various parts of Punjab experienced diverse levels of rainfall on Tuesday, disrupting daily life with urban flooding, extensive traffic congestion, and frequent power outages.

Despite the inconveniences caused, the substantial rain brought relief from the prevailing hot and humid weather by significantly lowering the temperature.

Rainfall commenced in Lahore last night and continued intermittently until noon on Tuesday.

The heavy rainfall resulted in waterlogged roads not only in low-lying areas but also in several upscale neighborhoods, with water levels reaching knee-deep in some locations.

Inadequate sanitation arrangements led to the transformation of several localities into temporary lakes and ponds.

The city witnessed extensive traffic jams due to flooded roads, road segments, and road shoulders. Stranded vehicles were a common sight on waterlogged roads in various neighborhoods.

The substantial rainfall led to the tripping of numerous LESCO feeders, leaving several localities without electricity.
