Practically Gujarat has experienced zero rainy days.
The intense heat in Gujarat has been occurring since March. However, since the last few days marginal drop in temperatures has been seen due to the Western Disturbance which is moving across the Western Himalayas. Wind patterns have also changed.
Even though these winds will increase humidity and pre-monsoon will be experienced in the nearby states, but the temperatures will remain in high 30s. Thus, no relief from the hot weather conditions is expected but temperatures may drop by 1°C to 2°C.
