Gujarat is set to experience a significant rise in mercury levels, with a heatwave likely to affect several areas starting March 8, 2025.

The state, already one of the hottest during the pre-monsoon season, will see temperatures breach 40°C in some places.

This increase in heat is due to a change in wind patterns caused by a series of western disturbances approaching North India, disrupting the usual moisture-laden winds from the Arabian Sea.

With minimal cloud cover and no rainfall expected, the scorching heat will intensify, raising concerns over early heatwave conditions.

The heat will continue through mid-March. Stay up to date on weather alerts for your region.
