Gujarat Weather: Gujarat experienced widespread rainfall over the last 24 hours, with showers recorded in as many as 201 talukas across the state. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the change in weather is due to a rain-bearing system developing over the Arabian Sea. With the monsoon now active over the region, the state is expected to receive more rainfall in the coming days.

The IMD has issued an orange alert for July 5 (Friday) and July 6 (Saturday) in several districts, including Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Surat, Navsari, Valsad, Daman, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Saurashtra, Kutch, Jamnagar, Porbandar, and Dwarka. These areas are likely to receive very heavy rainfall, and residents are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions.

On Thursday, heavy rains lashed parts of Saurashtra and South-Central Surat, causing significant disruptions to daily life. Commuters and office-goers struggled as waterlogged roads slowed movement. Notably, 57 talukas received more than 1 inch of rain within a day.
