The day temperatures have dropped from two to three degrees celsius after the rain. However, more rain expected in the next twenty-four hours/The rain occurred due to a westerly wave affecting the upper parts of the country which is persisting as per the synoptic situation revealed by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) earlier.
