Gujarat Weather: Gujarat is experiencing a much-needed relief from the summer heat as unseasonal rainfall and cool winds have brought comfort to several parts of the state. Many areas have already received light showers since Saturday night and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast more rain in the coming days.

Gujarat Weather: Why is It Raining In Summer Season

An upper air cyclonic circulation has developed near the Gujarat coast at an altitude of 0.9 km above sea level. Due to this system, monsoon-like conditions have been created even during the peak summer season. The IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall across multiple districts in Gujarat between May 5 and May 7.
