Looking at the latest satellite picture, the situation favoring monsoon has improved in Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal both. Even if the Bay of Bengal clouds skip Gujarat, showers over Madhya Pradesh, northern Maharashtra or southern Rajasthan may atleast benefit major reservoirs located in eastern Gujarat belt(Narmada, Ukai, Kadana, Dharoi) through fresh inflow of water. The present situation seems best for Gujarat during entire monsoon so far this year.
