Rain brings pleasant weather but causes waterlogging in Peshawar

 Intermittent rainfall in several districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday made the weather pleasant, but water accumulation on roads in some areas, particularly Peshawar, caused difficulties for residents and disrupted traffic flow.

According to reports, rainwater collected on several roads in the provincial capital due to inadequate drainage, creating problems for commuters and pedestrians.

Residents also complained about stagnant water in low-lying areas of the city.

Rain was also reported in Mardan, Charsadda, Swabi and Khyber districts, bringing a noticeable drop in temperature. Fasting people welcomed the change in weather, describing the cooler conditions as pleasant during Ramazan.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast more rain in different parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over the next few hours.

Authorities have been directed to remain alert and ensure proper drainage arrangements in low-lying areas to prevent further inconvenience to the public.
