The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a fresh weather alert for Punjab, predicting heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds in multiple cities. The new monsoon spell is expected to continue from Sunday night through Monday, with intermittent showers in several districts.
Punjab Cities Likely to Receive Heavy Rain
According to the PMD, a deep depression over North Gujrat (India) is moving westward, pushing strong monsoon currents into Pakistan. As a result, scattered heavy to very heavy rains are expected across southern and central Punjab.
Key cities under weather alert include:
-
South & Central Punjab: Okara, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Rahim Yar Khan, Pakpattan, Vehari, Khanewal, Lodhran, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Taunsa, and Rajanpur.
-
Northern Punjab & Potohar Region: Rawalpindi, Murree, Galiyat, Jhelum, Chakwal, Attock, Narowal, Sargodha, Bhakkar, Mianwali, Faisalabad, and Lahore.
