Heavy rainfall in Lahore has partially disrupted flight operations at the city’s airport. Planes are currently parked in accumulated rainwater, but the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is working to clear the runway and surrounding areas for aircraft movements.
The city was drenched with 350 millimetres of rain in just three hours, setting a new 44-year rainfall record. According to the Met Office, strong monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal are expected to bring torrential rains across the country from August 1 to 6, with occasional breaks.
