In Lahore, the wind bursts that reached up to 100 km/h were followed by showers that led to more than 565 energy feeders to stumble, according to energy distribution authorities.
In Faisalabad, 150 feeders were affected by the downpour, while Islamabad saw a significant interruption, although officials reported that more than 80% of the power had been restored since then.
The rain also hit several areas, including Gujranwala, Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Kamoke, Hafizabad, Sialkot and Wazirabad. Showers were also reported in Chakwal, Jhelum and Bahawalnagar.
