Gandhinagar: The latest and perhaps last spell of monsoon rain in parts of Gujarat this year in last two days has added 2.41% to the state average and also given some respite to rain-scanty North and East Central region of the state.

As per the official data received today in last two days North Gujarat and East Central Gujarat has seen around 5% of the regional average.

North Gujarat which had seen only 42.94% of rain up to September 22 has increased it to 47.83% till this morning.
East Central Gujarat has also increased it from 66.94 to 71,54% during the period.

Even South Gujarat which was best with regard to rain has also seen over one% increase in its average which has risen from 95.14 to 96.34%.

However as no rain occurred in Saurashtra and Kutch regions the average there has seen no change and was constant at 72.76% and 25.51%.

The state average has in last two days risen from 74.16 to 76.57%..

Meanwhile, the monsoon which had become active in Gujarat after a long break is likely to become weak again as the low pressure area caused by the storm Daye that hit Odisha a few days ago is diffusing.

Till 10 am today morning only one place Kheda has received light rain of 2 mm. In the last 24 hours ending 0830 am this morning, 67 talukas of 15 districts had seen rain with Himmatnagar in Sabarkantha district in North Gujarat seeing the maximum 145mm.
