While a brief spell of rain accompanied by high-speed winds brought relief to some parts of Gujarat on Tuesday evening, hot and humid conditions are likely to be back for the weekend. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued yellow warning for the state from April 11 to 13.
“Discomfort due to hot and humid air is very likely to prevail over the coastal areas of Gujarat, Saurashtra and Kutch from April 11 to 13,” the IMD stated on Tuesday.
Owing to the Western Disturbance and a cyclonic circulation over northeast Pakistan and adjoining Afghanistan, several parts of Gujarat received rainfall on Tuesday.

Due to light spells and overcast skies throughout the day, maximum temperatures at most of the places in Gujarat were below normal temperature on Tuesday. Amreli recorded the highest of 36.7 degrees Celsius, which was 3.3 degrees lower than normal.
Ahmedabad recorded 36.6 degrees Celsius (3.9 degrees lower than normal temperature), Rajkot 36.5 degrees (2.5 degrees lower), Bhavnagar 35.1 degrees (2.5 degrees lower), and Gandhinagar 35.4 degree (2.7 degrees lower than normal).
