Meteorological Insight: Trough Formation in Arabian Sea Causes Unseasonal Rain in Gujarat

Ramashray Yadav, a scientist from the Meteorological Department, sheds light on the reason behind the unseasonal rain in Gujarat. According to Yadav, a trough has developed in the Arabian Sea over the past few days, and its trajectory is directing it towards Gujarat. As this trough progresses through South Gujarat, the state is expected to experience unseasonal cloudy and rainy weather.

This meteorological phenomenon holds particular significance as it coincides with the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit. The convergence of numerous businessmen, both domestic and international, for the event adds another layer of concern. With a considerable portion of attendees likely to travel by air, the unseasonal rains and resultant cloudy weather are anticipated to impact air travel, potentially causing disruptions. As Gujarat prepares to host this significant event, careful monitoring of weather updates and proactive measures are imperative to mitigate the impact of the unexpected weather conditions on both the summit and air travel.

Current Temperature Snapshot and Meteorological Forecast for Gujarat

As of the latest reports, Ahmedabad is experiencing a minimum temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, reflecting the cool weather prevailing in the state. Notably, Nalia city currently holds the record for the lowest temperature in Gujarat, registering at 10 degrees Celsius. In Gandhinagar, the mercury has dipped to 14 degrees Celsius.

The Meteorological Department’s forecast anticipates a gradual increase in temperatures by two to three degrees in the coming days across the state. Presently, early mornings are characterized by high wind speeds, intensifying the cold effect. However, as the day progresses, the wind speed diminishes, leading to a reduction in the perception of cold temperatures. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and plan accordingly to cope with the fluctuating temperatures and wind patterns.
