The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued weather warnings as heavy rain, thunderstorms and lightning are forecast across parts of Saurashtra, Kutch and North Gujarat in the coming days. Meteorologists say unstable atmospheric conditions are likely to trigger frequent showers and intense rainfall in isolated pockets, raising the risk of localized waterlogging and travel disruptions on key highways and rural roads. Weather services have urged residents and authorities to stay alert and monitor updates to prepare for sudden downpours.
This latest forecast adds to ongoing concerns as the pre-monsoon transition progresses, with several districts expected to see gusty winds and intermittent heavy showers alongside thunderstorm activity. Local governments and disaster response teams in affected regions are on standby to respond to any emergencies, particularly in low-lying and flood-prone areas. Farmers and travelers have been advised to take precautions, especially where lightning and heavy rain could impact agriculture and outdoor work.
