Most other cities, including Ahmedabad, Surat and Bhavnagar, hovered around the 30–32°C mark, indicating mild daytime conditions. No rainfall was recorded at any station in the state.

Weather experts noted that despite cooler maximum temperatures observed a day earlier, the elevated nighttime temperatures indicate a short-term warming trend across parts of the state. Humidity levels remained moderate to high in most districts, with Surat reporting the highest morning relative humidity at 90%. No rainfall was recorded anywhere in Gujarat.

Experts said the warmer nights could be attributed to changing wind patterns and increased moisture in the atmosphere, especially in southern Gujarat and coastal regions. DeshGujarat
