Central and east Gujarat expected to receive rain in next 2 to 3 days

There seems some respite for the people of Gujarat observing dry weather for the last 4 to 5 days. According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, rain is expected in central and east Gujarat in the next 2 to 3 days. Northern and western parts will still remain dry.
The month of August began on a positive note with some good widespread showers being observed in the state during the first ten days. Thereafter rain decreased and was only witnessed in the form of occasional light patchy showers. Ahmedabad recorded some rain on the 18th but there haven’t been any showers since then.
The temperatures are on the rise with Ahmedabad recording 35.3 degrees Celsius as the maximum temperature on Friday, which is 3 degrees above normal. Baroda was 4 degrees above normal at 34.8 degrees Celsius, while Idar saw maximum settling 5 degrees above normal at 36.4 degrees Celsius. This clearly explains how uncomfortable the weather has been in the state in the last few days.
This spell of rain will pull down the maximum temperatures by 1to 2 degrees and provide some relief to the people for a couple of days. But the respite will be short lived as the temperature will again shoot up after decrease in rain. The region is already facing a rainfall deficit of 33%, from 1st June to 22nd August
