In G13 a housewife Saba told APP that Ramzan special prayers along with household preparations had become far more comfortable, calling the weather a blessing at such a meaningful time.
At mosques, worshippers welcome the calm and cool conditions, with many describing the timing as perfect for Eid gatherings and prayers.
Markets in capital including Aabpara, G-11, I-10, Karachi company, Jinnah Super and all other have also seen increased activity, as families step out to shop and celebrate without suffering from the oppressive heat.
Parks and open spaces, including those in F-11, have turned lively as families enjoy the fresh post rain environment.
