Islamabad Families Embrace Rainy Eid Celebrations

On the fourth day of Eidul Fitr, Islamabad experienced a delightful change in weather as continuous rainfall brought a pleasant coolness to the atmosphere. Despite the rain, families flocked to amusement parks to celebrate the festive occasion.

While outdoor swings and rides remained largely deserted due to the rain, indoor activities saw a surge in popularity. Families engaged in a variety of indoor games such as computerized games, bouncing activities, haunted houses, and mono-train rides.

Many families opted to relax under the dense trees, enjoying the rain and pleasant weather, while children enthusiastically played games like badminton and football in the light drizzle. The atmosphere was filled with joy as children indulged in delicious treats like nimco and various juices.

Boating in Ayub Park Lake became a popular choice for families, embracing the rain-soaked experience. The availability of indoor games at Ayub Park and Joyland encouraged families to continue their outings despite the rain.

Children reveled in indoor rides such as dodging cars, haunted houses, and computerized shooting, making the most of the festive holiday. The continuous rainfall also brought positive news for the region's water supply, as the dams supplying water to the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad saw significant improvement in water levels.

The catchment areas of Rawal, Khanpur, and Simly dams have been replenished, alleviating concerns of a water crisis this summer. The Meteorological Department's forecast of rain for the upcoming Sunday may impact further outdoor activities, potentially affecting the Eid celebrations for many.

In conclusion, despite the rainy weather, families in Islamabad made the most of the Eidul Fitr holiday by engaging in a variety of indoor activities and enjoying the natural beauty of the parks. The festive spirit prevailed, bringing joy and togetherness amidst the refreshing rainfall.
