PDMA issues Punjab rain alert as thunderstorms, hail forecast across province

Punjab has been placed on high alert by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) as a severe weather system is forecast to bring widespread rain, thunderstorms, and possible hail across the province. The alert, issued in response to a low-pressure system developing over the region, warns of strong winds, heavy downpours, and potential hail showers. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The PDMA has likely activated emergency response systems to mitigate the impact of the storm, including deploying rescue teams and setting up relief camps if needed. The weather system is expected to affect various parts of the province, with the worst-hit areas likely to be those with poor drainage and infrastructure. As the storm approaches, authorities are urging residents to stay indoors, avoid traveling unless necessary, and keep a close eye on weather updates for further instructions.
