LAHORE – More intermittent rains with scattered heavy falls are predicted in Lahore and parts of Punjab on Sunday night and Monday.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), a deep depression over north Gujrat (India) will likely move westwards along adjoining areas of Pakistan during the next 24 to 36 hours. Due to this weather system, strong monsoon currents will likely penetrate the southern half of the country.
Under these conditions, more widespread rain-wind/thundershowers with scattered heavy and at times hefty falls are predicted in Okara, Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Pakpattan, Sahiwal, Vehari, Khanpur, Kot Addu, Lodhran, Khanewal, Dera Ghazi Khan, Taunsa, Rajanpur and Multan on Sunday night and Monday with occasional gaps.
Intermittent rain-wind/thundershowers are also expected in Murree, Galiyat, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Chakwal, Attock, Narowal, Sargodha, Bhakkar, Khushab, Mianwali, Faisalabad, Lahore and surroundings.
