Many parts of Punjab along with the northern region of the country experienced heavy rainfall on Tuesday, causing massive urban flooding and damage to houses.
Among the cities of Punjab most severely affected was Lahore, whose streets lay inundated, making travel cumbersome.
Nevertheless, the spell of hot and humid weather which was persistent earlier in the month was broken. Some people refused to let the rain dampen their spirits and continued about their daily activities.
