A spell of dust storms and rain-thundershowers is expected to hit upper and central parts of Pakistan, including Lahore, from June 13-16, marking the end of the severe heatwave conditions that have been affecting the region. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecasted this change in weather, which is expected to bring relief to cities across Pakistan that have been experiencing extreme heat.
The heatwave has been severe, with temperatures exceeding 45 degrees Celsius in almost all cities in Punjab, including Bhakkar and Jacobabad which reported 49°C. The extreme heat has been affecting the elderly, labourers, and children the most, with hospitals across Punjab receiving scores of heatstroke patients. Authorities have issued health advisories urging citizens to stay hydrated, avoid unnecessary outdoor activities, and watch for heatstroke symptoms.
The Punjab government has taken measures to mitigate the effects of the heatwave, including ordering the provision of cool drinking water at public spaces, transport hubs, and markets. Hospitals have also set up heatstroke emergency counters to treat affected patients. Citizens are advised to avoid direct sunlight between 11am and 4pm and stay hydrated to avoid heatstroke.
The weather system that is expected to bring relief to Lahore and other parts of Pakistan is a result of moist currents and a westerly wave. However, the Met Office has warned that the weather system may cause damage to loose structures, and citizens are advised to take necessary precautions. The air quality index in Lahore is currently 82, with PM2.5 levels 5.1 times higher than the recommended limit, which is a concern for citizens' health.
As the weather lahore is expected to change in the next few days, citizens are advised to stay updated with the latest weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to stay safe. The end of the heatwave will bring relief to the people of Lahore and other parts of Pakistan, and the government and authorities are taking measures to ensure that citizens are protected from the effects of the extreme weather.
