Gandhinagar: The Southwest Monsoon 2024 has covered the entire state of Gujarat today. The monsoon this year took around 17 days to cover the entire state.

The monsoon, which made its onset in Navsari on June 10th, remained stagnant there for over 10 days. However, with the occurrence of favorable conditions such as cyclonic circulation over Gujarat, the Southwest Monsoon covered the entire South Gujarat last Saturday and then progressed rapidly to cover Central Gujarat and the entire Saurashtra on Tuesday. Since then, with heavy rains in parts of the state, the monsoon has moved further ahead, covering the remaining North Gujarat and Kutch regions today.
