Rain accompanied by strong winds swept through Lahore and its surrounding areas in the early hours of Wednesday, bringing a pleasant change to the weather. The precipitation, which began in the wee hours, caused disruptions in electricity supply across several parts of the city as multiple feeders of the Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) tripped, leading to inconvenience for residents.

The downpour, coupled with gusty winds, offered relief from the previous warm conditions.
Power Disruptions

Weather Forecast
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast that the spell of rain will continue throughout the day. Further precipitation and strong winds are expected, which may maintain the pleasant weather but could also lead to additional disruptions.
