In Jahanian, three people were injured when a wall collapsed during rainfall. Meanwhile, in Qambar Shahdadkot, Sukkur, and Shikarpur, heavy rain caused water accumulation in low-lying areas, leading to difficulties for residents. In Ghotki and Ubauro, strong winds were followed by light rain, further contributing to unstable weather conditions.

The Meteorological Department has forecast that most parts of the country will remain hot and dry today. However, isolated rain is expected in Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir, where cloud development may trigger scattered showers.

Officials have advised citizens to remain cautious during severe weather conditions, especially in areas prone to flooding or structural damage. Authorities are also monitoring the situation in regions where heavy rainfall has already caused disruptions.

The recent spell of rain is expected to provide temporary relief in temperature but may continue to cause challenges in low-lying and vulnerable areas.
