A monsoon alert has been issued for Lahore, Pakistan, as heavy rainfall is expected to continue until August 3 and 4. The city has already seen a surge in dengue cases, with 11 patients reported in the past 24 hours. The meteorological department has warned of another spell of monsoon rain today, with humidity levels reaching 82%.
The alert comes as various parts of the country, including Kashmir, Upper/Central Punjab, Islamabad, Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Southeast Sindh, and South Balochistan, experience rain-windstorms and thundershowers. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has recorded significant rainfall in several areas, including Cherat, Balakot, and Malam Jabba.
The increasing dengue cases are a cause for concern, and citizens are advised to take necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the disease. The monsoon season provides an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, which are the primary vectors of dengue fever.
Residents are urged to stay informed about weather updates and take necessary measures to ensure their safety. This includes avoiding travel during heavy rainfall, keeping homes clean and dry, and using mosquito repellents to prevent bites.
Stay safe and informed during this time.
