Ahmedabad residents woke up to hazy conditions in the early morning hours as the impact of Western Disturbance continued to influence the city's weather pattern. For the second consecutive day, the minimum temperature remained steady at around 19 degrees Celsius, creating a noticeable atmospheric effect that reduced visibility during dawn.
IMD Forecast and Temperature Analysis
According to the latest forecast from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Tuesday is likely to see similar conditions with the minimum temperature expected to hover around 19 degrees. This follows Monday's weather pattern where the minimum temperature was recorded at 19.5 degrees Celsius, which represented a significant 6.1 degrees above the normal range for this time of year.
Maximum Temperature and Regional Impact
The maximum temperature on Monday reached 30.1 degrees Celsius, registering 0.8 degrees higher than the normal range. While Ahmedabad experienced haze, other parts of Gujarat received light rainfall due to the Western Disturbance effect. Specific districts that witnessed precipitation included:
- Dahod

Temperature Variations Across Gujarat
While Ahmedabad maintained relatively warmer minimum temperatures, other regions in Gujarat recorded cooler readings. Naliya registered the lowest minimum temperature at 12.5 degrees Celsius, followed by Kandla at 15.3 degrees and Bhuj at 15.6 degrees. These variations highlight the diverse weather patterns across the state despite the overarching influence of Western Disturbance.
Extended Weather Outlook
The meteorological department indicates that no major changes are expected in minimum temperatures across Gujarat for the next seven days. This stability in weather patterns suggests that residents should prepare for continued conditions similar to what has been experienced in recent days, with potential for morning haze and temperatures remaining above seasonal norms.
The persistent Western Disturbance continues to shape Gujarat's weather landscape, creating conditions that deviate from typical seasonal expectations. As the region navigates these atmospheric influences, monitoring updates from meteorological authorities remains crucial for accurate weather planning and preparedness.
