Gujarat's pre-monsoon showers are expected to subside soon, paving the way for intense summer heat.

With dry northwesterly winds set to dominate, maximum temperatures may rise sharply, triggering heatwave conditions across several districts next week.

Cities like Ahmedabad, Rajkot, and Bhuj could experience daytime highs above 44°C.

Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak hours, and take necessary precautions.

This transition is typical before the monsoon sets in, though early heatwaves can strain health and water resources.

Authorities are preparing advisories, while locals brace for a hot spell ahead of the Southwest Monsoon’s arrival.
