As per Skymet Weather, due to a feeble cyclonic circulation over Rajasthan and the further relocation of the anti-cyclonic circulation over West Madhya, the wind pattern would change to northerly over Gujarat region. In wake of these weather activities, the temperatures are now expected to drop.

The most affected region will be north Gujarat region, Saurashtra, and Kutch. The day temperatures are expected to decrease by 4°C to 5°C inching close to normal level. Meanwhile, the night temperatures are also expected to take a marginal dip. Hence, the weather would become slightly comfortable across Gujarat region.
