In the last 24 hours only 33 talukas of 11 districts saw light to moderate rains with Mandvi in Surat recording a modest maximum of 26 mm.

However the met department has not issued any warning for the next 12 hours and the period after 36 hours giving rise to the speculation that the spell of monsoon could be brief one.
