Rain brings relief as smog eases in Lahore after showers
Rainfall in Lahore and several other Pakistani cities has improved air quality, reduced smog and intensified the winter chill.
Rain showers across Punjab and snowfall in northern areas have brought noticeable changes in weather conditions, providing residents with relief from polluted air and rising temperatures.
According to details, Lahore received light rain and drizzle in several areas late Thursday night. The rainfall helped clear the atmosphere, while the provincial capital also moved down in the ranking of the world's most polluted cities.
Residents welcomed the change as rain brought some relief from the prolonged smog that had affected daily life and raised health concerns.
Rain improves air quality across Punjab
Several other cities, including Sargodha, Narowal, Shakargarh and Attock, also received rainfall.
The showers helped reduce dust and airborne pollution, making the atmosphere feel fresher. The weather also turned colder as temperatures dropped following the rainfall.
Health experts have previously highlighted the benefits of improved air quality for people suffering from breathing difficulties and other pollution-related problems.
Upper areas experience snowfall and colder weather
Meanwhile, Upper Dir continued to receive rainfall for the second consecutive day, increasing the intensity of cold weather.
Snowfall also continued in Naran, where persistent rain and cold winds made conditions even chillier.
The changing weather has brought a noticeable winter feel to several northern areas, attracting attention as temperatures continue to fall.
More rainfall expected in affected areas
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), rainfall is expected to continue in some areas until Friday evening.
The department has also forecast rain and snowfall at isolated places in upper parts of the country.
The current weather system is expected to maintain colder conditions, although smog and fog may return to Punjab's plains after the rain stops.
