Parts of Gujarat feel ‘biting cold’ due to abnormally low maximum temperatures, Bhuj coldest

Gandhinagar: Many places in Gujarat including Ahmedabad today felt ‘biting cold’ due to abnormally low maximum temperatures even though technically there was no cold-wave warning for the day.
Some places also saw cloudy to partly cloudy weather due to presence of a morning’s cyclonic circulation over South Gujarat and neighbourhood extending up to 1.5 km above mean sea level.

Bhuj at 7 °C was coldest across the state while Naliya at 7.8 °C was second in this regard today. The maximum temperatures across the state were below normal with Naliya recording the lowest of 18.8 °C followed by Bhuj at 19 °C.

A met official today said that as the maximum temperatures were low the mean temperatures were also low giving a biting cold like feeling even though there was technically no cold wave. The met has also not issued any cold-wave warning for tomorrow or the 3 days after that.

In Ahmedabad amid partly cloudy sky the maximum temperature at 23.5°C was 4.0°C below normal even though the minimum at 12.8°C was half a notch above normal.
