Meteorologist Paresh Goswami, in his weather forecast for Gujarat, has said that currently, the winds in the region are coming from the north to northeast, with some areas possibly experiencing northwest winds. He also mentioned that there could be fog in some parts during the last week of December.
Goswami predicted that from December 25 to 28, there will be light to moderate rainfall in several areas of Gujarat, which may be intense in some regions. The sky is expected to be overcast in many places.
On his social media, Goswami shared his predictions for the weather in Gujarat. He said, “Currently, the wind speed is normal in Gujarat, and it is expected to remain so in the coming days. However, where there is rainfall, the wind speed may increase.”
He further elaborated, “The winds will remain from the north to northeast, with some places experiencing northwest winds. During the last week of December, fog could occur in some areas.”
Regarding the cold weather, Goswami said, “There will be no relief from the cold until December 31. The cold will intensify in January, with a possible cold wave during the first half of the month. The temperatures could break all cold records between January 1 and 15.”
He warned that the rainfall during winter could cause harm to farmers, particularly due to the rain expected from the 25th evening. Goswami mentioned that this rainfall will come from the southeastern regions of Tamil Nadu towards the northwest.
In northern Gujarat, areas like Sabarkantha, Banaskantha, Mehsana, and Patan may experience heavy rainfall. The intensity of rainfall may be stronger in areas bordering Madhya Pradesh and Pakistan.
