Normal average day temperature for the city in March is 35.7°C, while average night temperature is 19.1°C.

Please note: Temperatures in °C
As per the latest forecast by Skymet, a brief respite can be expected in another three days due to an approaching cyclonic circulation, which would reverse the wind pattern. However, system would not give any rain over the state and hence only a marginal drop in the temperatures.
Apart from Gujarat, adjoining places of West Rajasthan including Jaisalmer, Barmer and Udaipur have also felt the heat. On Monday, Jaisalmer recorded maximum of 40.3°C, Barmer 40.6°C and Udaipur 36.8°C.
