Despite a slow monsoon, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast an improvement in rainfall activity across Gujarat over the coming days, with three weather systems becoming active simultaneously.
According to the IMD, a Western Disturbance, a cyclonic circulation, and a seasonal trough are currently influencing weather conditions. Their combined impact is expected to bring widespread rainfall across the state, with July 2 and July 3 likely to witness significant rain activity.
The monsoon has remained active over south Gujarat and is gradually advancing further into the state.
Rain forecast for June 28
The IMD has predicted rainfall across most parts of Gujarat on Sunday.
Light to moderate rain is likely over Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Tharad, Patan, Aravalli, Panchmahal, Dahod, Mahisagar, Kutch, Rajkot, Surendranagar, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Morbi, Gir Somnath, Botad and Diu.
Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over Surat, Dang, Tapi, Valsad and Navsari, prompting authorities to remain on alert.
Yellow alert from July 2 to July 4
A Yellow Alert has been issued for Navsari, Surat, Valsad and Dang between July 2 and July 4, with forecasts of heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms and winds of 40–50 kmph.
Fishermen advised to stay off the sea
The IMD has warned of rough sea conditions due to strong currents and has advised fishermen not to venture into the Arabian Sea on July 1 and July 2.
Wind speeds of 40–60 kmph are also expected across several parts of the state as the weather systems strengthen.
Ahmedabad may touch 41°C despite rain
Even as rain activity increases, Gujarat is expected to experience hot and humid conditions due to rising moisture levels.
Maximum temperatures across the state are likely to remain between 38°C and 40°C, while Ahmedabad may record temperatures of around 41°C on June 28.
The IMD said the combination of rainfall and high humidity will create a "double season" effect, with intermittent showers accompanied by uncomfortable heat and humidity.
According to the weather department, the active Western Disturbance, cyclonic circulation over Madhya Pradesh, and the seasonal trough extending from Punjab to Bihar are expected to support scattered rainfall across south Gujarat, Saurashtra and Kutch over the next seven days.
