Punjab has been grappling with severe heat and a relentless heatwave in recent days. The intense, hot winds blowing during the daytime had made it extremely difficult for people to venture out of their homes.
**Rainfall Reported in Several Areas, Including Jalandhar**
Amidst this situation, the weather took a sudden turn on Saturday morning across several districts of the state. Following the appearance of overcast skies and the onset of cool breezes, rainfall has been reported in various regions—including Jalandhar—bringing significant relief to the public from the oppressive heat. Consequently, a noticeable drop in temperature was also recorded due to the rains. It is worth noting that just a day earlier, dark clouds had gathered in the sky during the morning hours as well, though no rain had materialized at that time.
**Meteorological Department Issues Red Alert**
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department had issued a ‘Red Alert’ for Punjab for May 29, along with an ‘Orange Alert’ for several districts for May 30. Following this shift in weather conditions, people have breathed a sigh of relief; however, the department has advised the public to remain vigilant regarding the weather outlook for the coming days.
