These weather conditions can be accredited to a low pressure area that is persisting over Kutch region and also a trough is running from this system up to Assam. Therefore, with these weather systems, good rains are battering many areas of the state.

With these incessant showers, the hot and humid weather was replaced by pleasing conditions, giving the local that much needed respite.

As per Skymet Weather, now the system is likely to weaken and a cyclonic circulation is anticipated that will move slightly toward northeastwards.
