The weather department has issued a forecast for unseasonal rain across Gujarat for the next four days. This rain is expected to provide some relief from the summer heat. The system currently active over the North-East Arabian Sea and the cyclonic circulation in the air are key reasons for this weather change.
Rain is predicted in both North and South Gujarat. The department has detailed the expected rainfall across various districts from May 20 to May 24.
On May 20, light to moderate rain is likely in districts such as Rajkot, Botad, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Gir Somnath, Anand, Kheda, Aravalli, Sabarkantha, Mahisagar, Panchmahal, Dahod, Chhota Udepur, Vadodara, Bharuch, Narmada, Surat, Valsad, Tapi, and Navsari.

This forecast has raised concerns among farmers, as unseasonal rain at this time can affect crops. The weather is expected to remain cloudy throughout Gujarat for the next three days. Heavy winds and thunderstorms are also anticipated in ten districts, with wind speeds expected to reach 50-60 km/h. Maximum temperatures are predicted to rise by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius over the next week. A yellow alert has been issued for Ahmedabad today. Farmers are advised to take necessary precautions to protect their crops during this period.
