Gujarat is currently experiencing dual weather conditions, with dropped temperatures in the early morning and extreme heat in the afternoon, causing discomfort for people.
As temperatures gradually rise, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that due to a change in wind direction, the heat will increase from March 22, leading to a 2°C to 3°C rise in maximum temperatures.
“No large change in maximum temperatures during next 48 hours, thereafter, likely to rise by 2°C to 3°C,” said IMD on Thursday.
The met department predicted ‘discomfort conditions due to hot and humid air’ over the coastal areas of south Gujarat region and Saurashtra-Kutch from March 22 to 24.
Ahmedabad witnessed a maximum temperature of 37.5°C and minimum temperature at 20.6°C on Thursday.
