Post-monsoon likely earlier than usual schedule this year

MULTAN: Post-monsoon, which normally begins from July 16, is likely to set in by the end of June this year, bringing down the mercury that will go up in the next month. An official of Meteorological Department told the APP on Thursday that the current heat wave that had gripped South Punjab for a few days would be cut down by gusty winds followed by rains in the coming days. He informed that monsoon current would enter from Bay of Bengal, adding that rains would bring respite from the heat wave, predicting that most part of June would witness sizzling heat.
