Heavy Rain Forecast as System Activates Near Kutch; Meghraja Expected in Vadodara, Dahod, Panchmahal, Banaskantha
In recent days, Gujarat has experienced an unprecedented surge in rainfall, particularly in the Bafara region. However, there is a glimmer of hope for farmers, as the Meteorological Department has forecasted two days of heavy rain in Gujarat. Additionally, there are indications that the Meghraja may make its presence felt in Vadodara, Dahod, Panchmahal, and Banaskantha. Furthermore, an activated weather system adjacent to Pakistan and Kutch is expected to influence weather conditions in Gujarat.
Transformation of Cyclonic Circulation into Low-Pressure System
In recent meteorological developments, a cyclonic circulation originating in the Bay of Bengal is undergoing a transformation, evolving into a low-pressure area. This transition is of significant interest and may have implications for weather patterns in the near future. As this system progresses and matures into a low-pressure area, there is a likelihood of renewed rainfall in certain regions of Gujarat.
Today, moderate rainfall is forecast in multiple districts and talukas across Gujarat. The districts and regions expected to experience rain are as follows:
- Vadodara
- Panchmahal
- Dahod
- Mahisagar
- Chotaudepur
- Narmada

- Dang
- Navsari
- Valsad
- Dadra and Nagar-Haveli

It’s worth noting that there is no red alert issued for any district in the state, indicating that the forecasted rainfall is expected to be moderate and manageable. However, residents and authorities should remain vigilant and prepared for any potential weather-related developments.
Exceptional Rainfall in Gujarat Surpassing 100% of the Season’s Quota
As the monsoon season unfolds, Gujarat has experienced an exceptional meteorological phenomenon. The state has received a remarkable 168.84 mm of rainfall in the month of September alone, surpassing the significant threshold of 100% of the season’s expected quota. This meteorological occurrence bears profound implications for the state and its inhabitants.
Flood-Related Concerns
In response to the heavy and sustained monsoon rains, nine districts in the state have been affected by flooding. This has necessitated the swift and coordinated efforts of authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of the populace. As a result, 19,360 individuals residing in flood-prone areas have been relocated to safer locations.
Monsoon Anticipated to Retreat by October 10
As we approach the latter part of the year, the monsoon season in Gujarat is preparing to bid farewell. According to forecasts from both the Meteorological Department and weather experts, the state can expect the monsoon to recede from its territory by October 9 and 10. This impending departure marks the conclusion of the annual rainy season.
