Rain with thunderstorm turned weather pleasant across Punjab on Monday while four people have lost their lives and seven were injured in rain related incidents.

In another incident in Sialkot, two siblings were killed in roof collapse of their house.

According to the report, scattered thunderstorm and rain hit Multan, Sialkot, Sheikhopura, Duniyapur and Gujranwala.

Under the influence of this weather system, more widespread rains and thundershowers are expected in Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, northeast Balochistan and Kashmir. Heavy falls may cause flood in these areas.
