Rain of light to moderate intensity in Islamabad like other parts of the country with occasional gaps, decreasing the day temperatures significantly and turning the weather pleasant. The rain-wind-thunderstorm of moderate to high intensity started in the federal capital during midnight and continued till the day time with gaps and decreased intensity. The unexpected hailstorm also struck the federal capital in the midnight accompanied by rain and lightning causing problems for the loose infrastructures and vehicles.
Haris Khan, a resident of Islamabad, said “The unexpected hailstorm accompanied with strong wind in the midnight not only dropped the mercury but also damaged my temporary rooftop tin shelter, causing severe disturbance for my family”. The temporary shelter was being used as a store room as I didn’t have enough space for storage of essential stuff. But now as the month of Holy Ramzan is approaching fast, it is difficult to repair the damaged shelter and we are compelled to face space congestion issue till its maintenance.—APP
