The meteorological department has forecast hot weather ahead, saying that there is no further chance of rain. It may be noted that the weather had taken a pleasant twist last week when clouds kept control of skies leading to spells of rains throughout Punjab. Mercury also dropped so and citizens took a relief.
It also provided comfort to the Ministry of Water and Power, as there was a significant drop in generation due to short supply of water in dams and periodic maintenance of some thermal units. According to the Met office, temperature took a rise of 36 degree centigrade and a drop of 22 degree centigrade during the last 24 hours.
