Rainfall in Lahore over the past two days has helped reduce the intensity of the rising heat in the city. According to the Meteorological Department, strong winds accompanying the rain have made the weather noticeably cooler.
The department reported that temperatures in Lahore dropped by about four degrees Celsius due to the changing weather conditions.
