After receiving heavy to very heavy rainfall for the last few consecutive days, Gujarat on Saturday witnessed a little break from heavy rains. The reason behind this, according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), is depression over northeastern Arabian Sea and offshore trough over the coastline of Gujarat.
This depression and monsoon trough will result into light and moderate rainfall across the state, added the weather forecasting department.
Vyara in Tapi district recorded a maximum of 32 mm rains – highest in the state till 8 pm on Saturday. Vyara was followed by Anand with a rainfall of 25 mm and Rajula in Amreli district with around 24 mm of rainfall on Saturday.
