  • | Friday | 20th September, 2019

The weather office has predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall in several parts of the state, especially the areas in south Gujarat and Saurashtra, during the next two-three days. The heavy rainfall is expected under the influence of a low-pressure area, which is likely to form over the east-central Arabian Sea and adjoining areas of the northeast Arabian Sea and south Gujarat coast by Friday. The weather office has clarified that the conditions are favourable for the movement of the system west-northwestwards and then intensify into a depression during the subsequent 48 hours. The system combined with an east-west trough from Saurashtra to east-central Bay of Bengal is likely to cause heavy rainfall across several districts in the state. The city on Thursday recorded a maximum temperature of 33.8 degrees Celsius, while the minimum was 25.4 degrees Celsius.
