An intense heatwave has gripped Lahore and other parts of Punjab, with temperatures crossing 40°C daily and reaching a forecast high of 41°C on Monday, according to the Meteorological Department, which has warned that the conditions are likely to continue for the next two days.

The scorching weather has made outdoor movement difficult, with residents reporting severe discomfort under the intense sun as the heatwave conditions persist across the region.

Meteorological Department officials said the intensity of the heat is expected to continue, though meteorologist Adeel Abbas indicated that strong winds and light rain may develop in northern Punjab after two days, potentially bringing partial relief.

Humidity levels in Lahore were recorded at 38 percent, adding to the discomfort as the city continues to experience prolonged high temperatures.
