Record Breaking Rainfall Causes Flooding and Death in Pakistan's Lahore

Lahore, Pakistan's second-largest city, experienced a record-breaking amount of rainfall on Thursday, resulting in one confirmed death and significant disruptions. The city received 353 millimeters (14 inches) of rain in a matter of hours, breaking a previous record of 332 millimeters set in July 1980. This heavy rainfall is part of the monsoon season, which has also brought heavy rains to Islamabad and other regions across Pakistan. The rains are likely to cause flash flooding and landslides, and in July, 99 people died in rain-related incidents, mainly in eastern Punjab and northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.
