Warmer Nights in Central Gujarat
Ahmedabad recorded specific temperature readings. The city saw a maximum of 28.7°C and a minimum of 14.8°C. Both figures are above normal for this time of year. This indicates slightly warmer nights in central parts of Gujarat.
Coastal towns showed interesting temperature patterns. In the picturesque town of Diu, the minimum temperature shot up by 4.4°C. It settled at 16.5°C.
