Due to this, various cities have been recording moderate rains and thundershowers along with few heavy spells at one or two places. There is no termination in sight to the monsoon surge which has released an outbreak of death and devastation in the state at least for the next few days.

The reason for these moderate to heavy Monsoon rains over the state can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which is seen persisting over Saurashtra and Kutch region.

Though the flood like situation over this entire state is likely to improve further.
