After three days of intense monsoon activity that triggered flooding and widespread disruption across parts of Gujarat, rainfall eased considerably on Wednesday, with only light to moderate showers reported in most districts, according to the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC).
The slowdown in rainfall brought temporary relief to flood-hit regions, although parts of South Gujarat continued to receive the highest precipitation during the day.
South Gujarat records highest rainfall
Rainfall data released by the SEOC for the period between 6 am and 6 pm showed Nanapondha in Valsad district recording the highest rainfall at 38 mm (1.5 inches), followed by Kaprada (34 mm) and The Dangs (24 mm).
Other areas receiving notable rainfall included:
- Vansada (Navsari): 20 mm
- Umarpada (Surat): 16 mm
- Dediapada (Narmada): 14 mm
- Netrang (Bharuch): 14 mm
- Subir (Dang): 14 mm
- Vapi and Dharampur (Valsad): 13 mm each
- Khergam (Navsari) and Kukarmunda (Tapi): 12 mm each.
Most other talukas across the state recorded only light rainfall, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm, indicating that the intensity of the monsoon had weakened compared with the previous three days.
Temporary relief after widespread disruption
The moderation in rainfall comes after days of heavy showers that affected several districts, particularly in South Gujarat, where flooding disrupted transport, damaged commercial establishments and inundated low-lying areas.
While Wednesday's rainfall pattern provided temporary relief, weather officials continue to monitor the monsoon system as further rainfall is expected during the season.
