More monsoon rains predicted across Punjab

Rain of different intensities is expected in Lahore and several parts of Punjab starting Monday night and continuing for the next two days, with some breaks in between.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) says that a seasonal low pressure is present over north Balochistan. Monsoon winds are entering the upper and central areas of Pakistan, and a westerly wave is also affecting the northern regions.

Because of these weather conditions, rain and gusty winds are likely on Monday night in Rawalpindi, Murree, Galiyat, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Narowal, Lahore, Jhelum, Attock, Chakwal, and Khushab. Other parts of the province are expected to experience humid weather.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, off-and-on rain and gusty winds are expected in many cities including Rawalpindi, Murree, Galiyat, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Mandi Bahauddin, Sialkot, Narowal, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Jhelum, Attock, Chakwal, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Jhang, Khushab, Mianwali, Bhakkar, Layyah, and Dera Ghazi Khan.
