The weather in Gujarat has taken an unexpected turn in April with cloudy skies, gusty winds and the threat of unseasonal rain returning across large parts of the state. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast, a western disturbance over the Arabian Sea, combined with moisture from the Bay of Bengal, has triggered a sharp atmospheric change, raising the possibility of light rain, thunder and wind speeds of 30 to 40 kmph in several districts on April 7.

Maximum temperatures across Gujarat are likely to stay steady for the next three days, before gradually increasing by 2–3°C. In Ahmedabad, the sky is expected to remain partly cloudy until the morning of April 7, with the mercury hovering around 36°C. Because of the cloudy and rainy conditions, there will not be a significant rise in temperature over the next two days. No significant change in weather conditions is expected for the subsequent two days beyond April 12, indicating continued dry conditions across Gujarat.

Despite the brief spell of relief, meteorologists say the unstable weather will not last long. From April 8 onward, conditions are expected to turn dry again, with maximum temperatures likely to rise by 2 to 3 degrees, bringing back intense summer heat across the state.
