Lahore's October rainfall shatters 30-year record
Three decades ago, in October 1990, meteorological experts recorded 120 millimeters of rainfall.
Lahore: Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab in Pakistan, has experienced an unusual weather phenomenon as heavy rains in October shattered a 30-year record.
Traditionally a dry month, October saw a substantial increase in rainfall this year.
According to Chief Meteorologist Muhammad Aslam, the amount of rainfall in Lahore this October exceeded the record set thirty years ago in October 1990.
In 1990, Lahore experienced 120 millimeters of rain during October.
However, this year, the city witnessed a remarkable 140 millimeters of rain, marking a significant departure from the norm.
Environmental experts attribute this unprecedented occurrence to climate change, which has disrupted traditional weather patterns and led to irregular weather events.
The silver lining to this weather anomaly is that the substantial rainfall has successfully cleared Lahore's atmosphere of smog, providing relief to residents who have been grappling with air pollution in the city.
