Amid the gradually increasing heat, western disturbance and cyclonic circulation in northern Pakistan resulted in chilly weather for one day in Gujarat. However, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted the maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to rise over the next five days.

“Gradual rise by 3-5°C in maximum temperatures during the next five days is likely in Gujarat,” said IMD.

“Discomfort conditions due to hot and humid air are very likely to prevail over the coastal areas of south Gujarat region and Saurashtra-Kutch on March 9 and 10,” as per IMD.

Dry weather conditions are expected to persist in the state until March 13. Considering the wind speeds, fishermen have been advised not to venture into the sea.  

Ahmedabad’s maximum temperature on Thursday was 35°C while the minimum temperature stood at 16°C.
