Overall, the rainfall is a welcome change for Gujarat, which often faces water scarcity issues. The state’s diverse districts, each with its unique geography and climate, play a significant role in the agricultural economy. With adequate rainfall, farmers can hope for a fruitful harvest this season, contributing to the overall growth and prosperity of the region.
