Cyclonic circulation over SW Rajasthan causes change in Gujarat weather, cloudy sky, light rain at several places

Ahmedabad: A cyclonic circulation over South West Rajasthan and neighbourhood has caused change in weather in many parts of Gujarat especially northern areas even as the state is experiencing unusually high minimum temperatures.

Some parts of North and South Gujarat today saw cloudy weather and light to medium intensity rain and thundershowers.

Director of the Ahmedabad Jayanta Sarkar today said that the cyclonic circulation over South West Rajasthan and neighbourhood has caused the change in weather.

‘According to our forecast this change in weather with some spells of lighter rain over parts of Gujarat especially north Gujarat is going to last for a day only,’ Sarkar said.

Meanwhile, while the cloudy weather has given some respite from unusually hot and sunny weather, the non-seasonal rain is likely to affect the mango-flowering adversely.
