Unusually, some cold wave conditions were witnessed in the middle of December, which were seen in many parts of the state Kutch and Saurashtra including Ahmedabad, Deesa, Patan, Gandhinagar, Idar, Mehsana, Palanpur etc. It was just the coastal areas of the state which remained far away from such cold weather conditions.
Similar weather conditions are expected for the next 48 hours or so. Thereafter, cold wave conditions are likely to abate the region as twin Western Disturbances are expected to approach the Western Himalayas, first one around December 22 and the second around December 25. These systems will cause a change in the wind pattern.
Earlier, northerlies, northeasterlies were blowing from the Northern Plains over the Gujarat region. However, around Dec 22, wind reversal will take place and weather will remain the same for the consecutive 4-5 days.
