Districts in Patan, Kheda, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Banaskantha, Chhota Udepur, and Botad reported the deaths. According to Pandey, sources, lightning and heavy rain were the main causes of these fatalities.

Pandey’s remarks came even as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a wind warning that strong surface winds of 30-40 kmph were very likely to prevail over Saurashtra and Kutch on Tuesday. The IMD also forecast “light thunderstorm with lightning and surface wind 30- 40 kmph (in gust) accompanied with light to moderate rain in the districts of North Gujarat region namely Ahmedabad, Aravalli, Banaskantha, Dahod, Gandhinagar, Kheda, Mahisagar, Mehsana, Panchmahal, Patan and Sabarkantha; [and] in the districts of Saurashtra-Kutch namely Amreli, Bhavnagar and Kutch”.

Gujarat experienced rain on Sunday, with the majority of it falling in the districts of Mehsana, Banaskantha, Ahmedabad, Patan, Gandhinagar, Sabarkantha, Bhavnagar, Kheda, Anand, Narmada, and Aravalli.
