These conditions can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation over Southeast Gujarat and the off-shore trough which has been running along the West Coast from South Gujarat to Kerala. These systems have been attracting humid winds from the Arabian Sea, leading to the development of intense lightning and thunderclouds over the state.
