Severe Weather, Climate Change, and Global Updates in the Last 24 Hours

As the world grapples with the escalating impacts of climate change, the past 24 hours have yet again underscored the urgency of addressing this global crisis. From scorching heatwaves to torrential rains and thunderstorms, severe weather events across the globe are a stark reminder that our planet is under strain, and India, with its diverse geography and climate vulnerabilities, is no exception. Here’s a look at the latest weather updates and what they mean in the context of climate change, written in the Indian English that resonates with our readers.

Global Weather Roundup: A Planet in Turmoil

In the last 24 hours, the world has witnessed a flurry of extreme weather events. In the United States, the National Weather Service reported multiple rounds of thunderstorms sweeping through the Southern Plains, Mid-South, and Tennessee Valley. These storms, expected to continue through Memorial Day, are bringing large hail, severe wind gusts, and even a few tornadoes. The threat of flash flooding looms large due to excessive rainfall, a pattern that’s becoming all too familiar.

Meanwhile, in Canada, Environment Canada’s weather alerts are tracking lightning and potential hurricane activity, with their radar systems providing real-time updates for public safety. Closer to home, Asia has not been spared either. Recent reports highlight how countries like the Philippines, Thailand, and even parts of India have been battling unrelenting heat and drought-like conditions earlier this year, disrupting daily life and agriculture.

In India, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for heavy rainfall in parts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, while northern states like Punjab and Haryana are bracing for heatwave conditions. Mumbai and Delhi, our bustling metros, are experiencing humid, sticky weather, making life uncomfortable for lakhs of residents. This yo-yo between extreme heat and sudden downpours is no longer an anomaly—it’s the new normal.

Climate Change: The Elephant in the Room

These weather events are not isolated incidents but part of a larger, worrying trend driven by climate change. The US Environmental Protection Agency notes that global temperatures have risen by about 2°F since the late 1800s, with the last decade being the warmest on record. In India, we’ve seen similar patterns—winters are getting warmer, monsoons more erratic, and heatwaves more deadly. The 2021 IPCC report confirms that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, are intensifying extreme weather events like heatwaves, floods, and droughts.

Take the recent thunderstorms in the US, for example. The increasing frequency of such events is linked to warmer air holding more moisture—about 7% more per 1°C rise in temperature. This means heavier rainfall and more intense storms, which can devastate infrastructure and livelihoods. In India, we’ve seen this with cyclones like Amphan and Tauktae, which have wreaked havoc in coastal states. The World Weather Attribution group’s studies show that climate change made floods in places like China’s Shanxi province twice as likely, a pattern we can expect here too if emissions aren’t curbed.

What’s Happening in India?

Back home, the IMD’s latest updates indicate that the southwest monsoon is advancing, but its unpredictability is causing concern. Farmers in Maharashtra and Karnataka are worried about delayed rains affecting kharif crops, while urban centres like Chennai are already dealing with waterlogging from sudden showers. The heatwave in North India, with temperatures touching 45°C in some areas, is putting pressure on power grids and public health systems. Last year’s heatwave in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh claimed lives, and this year’s early warnings suggest we’re not out of the woods yet.

Climate change is also hitting India’s vulnerable populations the hardest. Fishermen along the coasts, farmers in drought-prone Vidarbha, and urban poor living in flood-prone slums face the brunt of these extreme conditions. The National Climate Assessment warns that rising sea levels and storm surges are increasing coastal flooding risks, a reality for cities like Mumbai and Kolkata.

The Way Forward: Action, Not Just Talk

The global and Indian weather updates from the last 24 hours are a wake-up call. The Guardian rightly points out that continuing to rely on fossil fuels will only worsen these extreme weather events. In India, we’re seeing some steps in the right direction—solar and wind energy projects are expanding, and the government’s push for electric vehicles is gaining traction. But it’s not enough. The Climate Council’s report on 2024’s extreme weather events stresses the need to cut climate pollution by 75% this decade using proven technologies.

As Indians, we have a role to play too. From reducing our carbon footprint to supporting policies that prioritise renewable energy, every small step counts. Urban planners must focus on climate-resilient infrastructure—better drainage systems, heat-resistant buildings, and green spaces. Farmers need access to drought-resistant seeds and better irrigation systems. And most importantly, we need to educate ourselves and our communities about climate change, because awareness is the first step to action.

Final Thoughts

The severe weather events of the last 24 hours—be it thunderstorms in the US, heatwaves in India, or potential hurricanes in Canada—are not just weather updates; they’re a glimpse into a future where such extremes could become daily news. Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s knocking on our doors. For India, with its vast population and diverse climate zones, the stakes are high. It’s time we stop treating these events as one-off incidents and start addressing the root cause. After all, as the saying goes, “We don’t inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” Let’s act before it’s too late.

This commentary is based on the latest global weather updates and climate change insights, reflecting the urgency of collective action in India and beyond.

Extreme Weather Grips the Globe: Climate Change Fuels Chaos

In the past 24 hours, the world has witnessed a flurry of extreme weather events, from torrential rains to scorching heatwaves, underscoring the growing impact of climate change. As India braces for an early monsoon, the global weather map paints a grim picture of a planet under stress. Here’s a look at the latest updates and what they mean for our future.

In India, the monsoon arrived early, bringing heavy rainfall and triggering red alerts in several regions. While the rains are a relief for farmers, they’ve also caused waterlogging and disrupted daily life in cities like Delhi. Posts on X reported a night thunderstorm in the capital, adding to the chaos. This early onset, coupled with intense downpours, aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) findings that human-induced warming is making rainfall events more frequent and severe. For every 1°C rise in global temperature, the atmosphere can hold 7% more moisture, leading to heavier deluges.

Across the globe, the story is no different. In New South Wales, Australia, massive flooding forced residents to evacuate from rooftops, with some areas facing the worst floods since 2015., Similarly, southeast France reported severe flooding, claiming lives and causing widespread damage. Central Europe, too, is reeling from catastrophic floods that affected millions last September, a trend that continues to haunt the region. The World Weather Attribution (WWA) group notes that 15 of the 16 major floods studied in 2024 were amplified by climate change, with warmer air holding more moisture.

Meanwhile, heatwaves are scorching parts of the world. Iran recorded a staggering 52°C, the earliest such temperature in history, highlighting the intensifying heat extremes. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirms 2024 as the warmest year on record, with global temperatures 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels. This warming is driving not just heatwaves but also wildfires, with Siberia and Arizona battling blazes that threaten ecosystems and communities.

The United States is facing its own set of challenges. Severe thunderstorms are forecast across the Southern Plains, Mid-South, and Tennessee Valley, with risks of large hail, severe winds, and flash flooding. In Alabama, a tornado struck Huntsville, adding to the tally of destructive weather events. These incidents echo the National Climate Assessment findings that climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, heavy downpours, and hurricanes in the US.

What’s driving this global chaos? The answer lies in the relentless rise of greenhouse gases. The WMO reports that carbon dioxide levels in 2023 were 151% of pre-industrial levels, the highest in 800,000 years. This traps heat, warming oceans and fueling stronger storms like Hurricane Helene, which devastated the Southeast US in 2024. Warmer oceans also contribute to sea level rise, with an 8–9 inch increase globally since 1880, exacerbating coastal flooding.

The commentary is clear: climate change is no longer a distant threat but a present crisis. From India’s early monsoons to Australia’s floods and Iran’s heatwaves, the fingerprints of human-induced warming are unmistakable. The WWA estimates that climate change added 41 extra days of dangerous heat in 2024, disproportionately affecting vulnerable nations. Yet, there’s hope. The COP29 summit saw richer nations pledge $300 billion annually by 2035 to help developing countries adapt.

For India, the path forward involves bolstering early warning systems and flood defences, as seen in the EU’s adaptation strategies. As the BBC notes, limiting warming to 1.5°C is critical, but we’re already at 1.3°C. The time for action is now—cutting emissions, investing in resilience, and rethinking how we live on a warming planet. If we don’t, the headlines of today will only grow grimmer.

Mumbai Drowns in Record-Breaking Rains, Global Weather Chaos Unfolds

The world is witnessing a whirlwind of extreme weather events, and India is at the heart of it, with Mumbai grappling with its heaviest rainfall in 107 years as the southwest monsoon made an unprecedented early entry. The city recorded a staggering 295 mm of rain in May, shattering a century-old record set in 1918, as per the Indian Express. The monsoon, typically expected around June 11, arrived 16 days early on May 26, marking the earliest onset in 35 years, according to Hindustan Times and Firstpost. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Mumbai, forecasting continued thunderstorms and gusty winds up to 50-60 kmph, with some areas like Nariman Point clocking 104 mm in just one hour, reports The Times of India.

This deluge has thrown Mumbai into chaos, with low-lying areas like Kurla, Sion, Dadar, and Parel submerged, disrupting suburban train services and clogging roads. The newly inaugurated Acharya Atre Chowk metro station on Mumbai’s Aqua Line 3 was flooded, raising questions about infrastructure resilience, as highlighted by The Week (India). Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde attributed the flooding to the monsoon’s early arrival and intense rainfall in a short span, urging authorities to stay on high alert. Yet, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) faces flak for inadequate drainage systems, with netizens on X venting frustration over recurring waterlogging despite tall claims of monsoon preparedness.

Meanwhile, Karnataka is also reeling under the early monsoon’s impact, with Deccan Herald reporting heavy showers lashing coastal and interior regions. The IMD has issued red alerts for districts like Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg, warning of extremely heavy rainfall through the weekend. This unseasonal weather, driven by a cyclonic circulation over the Arabian Sea, is a stark reminder of climate unpredictability.

Across the globe, weather anomalies are making headlines. In the UK, a bank holiday washout looms with heavy showers and 50mph winds forecast for the entire week, as per Daily Star. Warrington faces a flood alert due to a high tide on the River Mersey, with low-lying areas like Fiddlers Ferry and Knutsford Road at risk, reports Warrington Guardian. A burst water main in a residential street caused major disruption in northern England, flooding homes and roads, according to The Northern Echo.

In Canada, Alberta braces for thunderstorms late Monday, with the Cochrane Eagle warning of potential disruptions. Pakistan is set to face thunderstorms from May 27, as per SAMAA, while Chile was battered by a rare tornado packing 111mph winds, leaving thousands without power, reports Metro.co.uk.

Back in Mumbai, the early monsoon has brought relief from scorching heat but exposed the city’s vulnerabilities. With 79.6 mm of rainfall recorded from May 1-23, an 844% surplus, the city’s infrastructure buckled under pressure. The IMD predicts more rain till May 28, with high tides expected to worsen flooding. As Mumbaikars wade through waterlogged streets, the question looms large: are our cities ready for such climatic curveballs? The global weather chaos, from Mumbai’s record rains to Chile’s freak tornado, signals a new normal where preparedness is non-negotiable. For now, it’s brollies up and boots on, as the world battles nature’s fury.

- Temperature: Highs of -5 to 5°C (23–41°F) in coastal Arctic regions, -15 to -5°C (5–23°F) inland. Lows range from -20 to 0°C (-4 to 32°F).
- Precipitation: Near-normal precipitation, with light snow or rain possible in coastal areas.
- Winds and Other Notes: Above-normal temperatures are likely, continuing a trend of warmer Arctic conditions. Sea ice extent is slightly below average.

Key Notes and Limitations

Seasonal Context: The outlook is heavily informed by the WMO’s May–July 2025 seasonal forecast, which indicates ENSO-neutral conditions with a weak La Niña-like influence, above-normal sea surface temperatures in most oceans (except the central Pacific), and widespread above-normal land temperatures.
Data Gaps: Specific daily forecasts for May 27, 2025, are not available in the provided sources. The above projections combine seasonal trends with typical late-May weather patterns for each region. For precise local forecasts, consult services like AccuWeather or national meteorological agencies closer to the date.
Regional Variability: Weather can vary significantly within regions (e.g., coastal vs. inland areas). The above provides a general overview.
Polar Vortex Influence: While a polar vortex collapse was noted in March 2025, increasing the risk of cold air outbreaks in North America and Eurasia, its impact by late May is likely minimal but could contribute to cooler spells in northern regions.

THE INDIA OUTLOOK

So, let us see, as to how is weather panning across the nation (India) today ...

Providing a detailed weather outlook for India on May 28, 2025, is challenging due to the lack of real-time, location-specific data for that exact date. However, based on available long-term forecasts and seasonal trends from the sources, I can offer a comprehensive overview of expected weather conditions across different regions of India for May 28, 2025, with an emphasis on temperature, precipitation, and regional variations. Keep in mind that weather can vary significantly across India's diverse geography, and forecasts closer to the date will provide more accuracy. For the most precise updates, check with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) or local weather services.

General Context for May 28, 2025

May is typically one of the hottest months in India, marking the peak of summer before the southwest monsoon begins to influence the southern and western regions by late May or early June. The IMD has forecasted above-normal temperatures and extended heatwave conditions for March to May 2025, particularly in northwest India, with an above-average monsoon expected thereafter. Posts on X and web sources indicate that heavy rainfall is likely along the west coast, while heatwaves persist in northern and central regions around this time.

Regional Weather Outlook for May 28, 2025

Below is a detailed forecast by region, based on historical trends, seasonal patterns, and available projections:

1. Northern India (Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh)

Temperature: Expect extremely high temperatures, with daytime highs ranging from 38°C to 45°C (100°F to 113°F) and nighttime lows around 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). Delhi, Jaipur, and other cities in the Golden Triangle are likely to see temperatures around 40°C to 43°C (104°F to 109°F), with extreme heat and humidity. For example, Delhi is forecasted to reach 39°C to 40°C based on historical May data and recent trends.
Precipitation: Mostly dry with minimal rainfall, as the monsoon typically hasn’t reached this region by late May. Average rainfall in Delhi is around 17 mm for the entire month, with only 1-2 rainy days expected. Isolated thunderstorms are possible due to heat-induced convection.
Other Conditions: Moderate to high humidity (40-60%) and 7-9 hours of sunshine daily. Heatwave conditions are likely, with dusty winds at 20-30 km/h possible in Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana, making the air feel dry and hazy.
Travel Tips: Plan outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat. Stay hydrated and use sun protection.

2. Central India (Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh)

Temperature: Hot weather prevails, with daytime temperatures between 35°C to 40°C (95°F to 104°F) in cities like Mumbai, Pune, and Bhopal. Nighttime lows range from 25°C to 28°C (77°F to 82°F). Mumbai may see highs around 33°C to 35°C with high humidity.
Precipitation: The southwest monsoon may begin to influence coastal Maharashtra (e.g., Mumbai, Konkan & Goa) by late May, bringing isolated heavy showers or thundershowers, especially in the evening. The IMD predicts heavy rainfall along the west coast from May 23-27, which could extend to May 28 in some areas. Expect 5-10 mm of rainfall in coastal regions, while inland areas like Bhopal remain mostly dry.
Other Conditions: High humidity (60-80%) in coastal areas due to monsoon onset, with 6-8 hours of sunshine. Inland areas will be drier but still hot.
Travel Tips: Carry waterproof gear in coastal areas and monitor real-time forecasts, as monsoon showers can be sudden.

Precipitation: The southwest monsoon is likely to reach Kerala by May 27, 2025, as per X posts, increasing the chance of heavy to very heavy rainfall (10-20 mm or more) in Kerala, coastal Karnataka, and parts of Andhra Pradesh. Bengaluru may see frequent showers with an average of 171.9 mm of precipitation over May and 20 rainy days. Tamil Nadu (e.g., Chennai) will likely remain drier but may experience evening showers toward the end of May.
Other Conditions: High humidity (70-90%) due to monsoon activity, with 5-7 hours of sunshine in rainy areas. Coastal regions may feel muggy.
Travel Tips: Waterproof clothing and rubber sandals are essential in Kerala and coastal Karnataka. Visit hill stations like Munnar for cooler weather.

4. Eastern India (West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand)

Temperature: Hot and humid, with daytime temperatures of 32°C to 38°C (90°F to 100°F) and nighttime lows of 25°C to 28°C (77°F to 82°F). Kolkata may see highs around 29°C to 33°C.
Precipitation: Mostly dry with occasional thundershowers, especially in the evening. Average monthly rainfall is low (e.g., 0-5 mm in Odisha), but isolated heavy showers are possible in West Bengal and Bihar due to pre-monsoon activity.
Other Conditions: High humidity (60-80%) and 6-8 hours of sunshine. Expect partly cloudy skies with a chance of sudden rain.
Travel Tips: Stay hydrated and carry an umbrella for unexpected showers.

5. Northeastern India (Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh)

Temperature: Moderate temperatures, with daytime highs of 25°C to 31°C (77°F to 88°F) and nighttime lows of 17°C to 23°C (63°F to 73°F). Guwahati may see highs around 31°C.
Precipitation: Heavy rainfall is expected, as the northeast often experiences pre-monsoon showers. The IMD and X posts indicate widespread rain/thundershowers with 10-20 mm or more possible in places like Shillong and Agartala.
Other Conditions: Very high humidity (80-90%) and 4-6 hours of sunshine due to cloud cover. Expect wet and overcast conditions.
Travel Tips: Waterproof gear is a must, and avoid flood-prone areas. Check local forecasts for real-time updates.

6. Himalayan Region (Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Ladakh)

Temperature: Pleasant in the lower Himalayas, with daytime highs of 18°C to 25°C (64°F to 77°F) in Shimla and Dehradun. Ladakh will be cooler, with highs around 16°C (61°F) and lows near 5°C (41°F).
Precipitation: Mostly dry with minimal rainfall (0-5 mm). Isolated showers are possible in Uttarakhand due to local thunderstorms.
Other Conditions: Moderate humidity (40-60%) and 8-10 hours of sunshine. Clear skies make this region ideal for outdoor activities.
Travel Tips: Perfect for visiting hill stations or trekking in Ladakh. Light layers are sufficient, but carry a jacket for cooler evenings.

Additional Notes

Heatwave Alerts: The IMD has warned of 10-12 heatwave days in northwest India during March-May 2025, nearly double the usual, suggesting persistent heat in northern and central regions on May 28. Authorities may issue advisories for heat protection.
Monsoon Onset: The southwest monsoon is expected to arrive in Kerala around May 27, 2025, potentially bringing heavy rain to southern and western coastal areas by May 28. Monitor real-time IMD updates for precise monsoon progression.
Climate Context: Long-term warming trends and neutral ENSO/IOD conditions in 2025 increase the likelihood of hotter summers and a wetter monsoon. Real-time monitoring is crucial due to the variability of monsoon onset and regional weather patterns.

Recommendations for May 28, 2025

Stay Hydrated: Carry water, especially in northern and central India, where temperatures can exceed 40°C.
Sun Protection: Use sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses to protect against intense UV radiation (UV index 6-8 in many areas).
Monsoon Preparedness: In southern and western coastal areas, carry raincoats or umbrellas due to potential heavy showers.
Check Local Forecasts: Weather can change rapidly, so consult the IMD website (mausam.imd.gov.in) or apps like AccuWeather for updates closer to the date.

For the most accurate and localized forecast, I recommend checking the IMD’s daily bulletin or regional weather apps on May 27, 2025, as conditions can shift quickly, especially with the monsoon’s arrival.

THE GUJARAT OUTLOOK
So, let us see, as to how is weather panning across the state (Gujarat) today ...

The weather outlook for Gujarat State, India, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, is influenced by a cyclonic circulation over the Arabian Sea, which has recently triggered significant weather activity across the region. Below is a detailed forecast based on available information from recent sources, focusing on temperature, precipitation, wind conditions, and regional variations within Gujarat.
General Weather Overview
Weather Pattern: Gujarat is expected to experience light to moderate rainfall and thunderstorms in several districts due to the ongoing influence of a cyclonic circulation over the northeast Arabian Sea. This system, which may have intensified into a low-pressure area or depression, is driving unseasonal pre-monsoon showers across the state.
Regions Affected: The forecast indicates weather activity across North Gujarat, South Gujarat, Saurashtra, and Kutch, with some areas potentially seeing heavier rainfall or stronger winds.
Detailed Forecast by Region
North Gujarat (Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Sabarkantha, Aravalli, Kheda, Anand, Panchmahal, Dahod, Mahisagar)
Temperature: Highs around 108°F (42°C) and lows near 78°F (26°C) in Ahmedabad.
Precipitation: Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are likely at isolated places. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts scattered showers, with a chance of thunderstorms.
Wind: Breezy conditions with wind speeds of 30–50 km/h, potentially gusty during thunderstorms.
Air Quality: Moderate to poor air quality is possible due to dust and humidity, with sensitive groups advised to limit outdoor exposure.
South Gujarat (Vadodara, Chhota Udepur, Narmada, Bharuch, Surat, Dang, Navsari, Valsad, Tapi, Daman, Dadra Nagar Haveli)
Temperature: Highs ranging from 100–104°F (38–40°C), with lows around 77–79°F (25–26°C).
Precipitation: Heavy to very heavy rainfall is possible in districts like Navsari, Valsad, and Surat, especially in the early hours (midnight to 4 AM). Intense thunderstorms are forecast, with a nowcast warning for heavy rains in areas like Dumas and Sachin.
Wind: Gusty winds up to 60 km/h are expected, particularly during rain events, as per the IMD and local weather updates.
Air Quality: High humidity and rainfall may improve air quality temporarily, but sensitive groups should remain cautious.
Saurashtra and Kutch (Surendranagar, Botad, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Gir Somnath, Morbi, Diu)
Temperature: Highs around 104–108°F (40–42°C), with lows near 76–78°F (24–26°C).
Precipitation: Light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms is expected across most districts. Some areas, like Bhavnagar and Amreli, may experience heavier showers due to the cyclonic system's influence.
Wind: Winds of 30–60 km/h are likely, with stronger gusts during thunderstorms. Fishermen have been warned to avoid venturing into the Arabian Sea due to rough conditions.
Additional Notes: Farmers in Saurashtra are advised to monitor crops, as unseasonal rains could pose risks to agriculture.
Additional Weather Details
Humidity: High humidity levels (50–70%) are expected due to the moist airflow from the Arabian Sea, contributing to muggy conditions.
Sunrise/Sunset: Sunrise around 5:55 AM IST and sunset around 7:18 PM IST, based on recent data for Gujarat.
Warnings:
The IMD has issued Orange and Yellow alerts for parts of Gujarat, indicating a need for preparedness due to potential heavy rain and strong winds.
Fishermen warnings are in effect due to rough sea conditions caused by the cyclonic circulation.
There is a risk of localized flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas of South Gujarat and Saurashtra.
Key Considerations
Historical Context: May in Gujarat is typically dry with minimal rainfall (less than 10 mm for the month and about 3 rainy days on average). However, the current cyclonic activity is causing unseasonal weather, making this forecast atypical.
Monsoon Outlook: The southwest monsoon is expected to arrive in Kerala between May 22 and May 28, potentially influencing Gujarat’s weather later in the week. This could lead to sustained rainy conditions beyond May 27.
Precautions:
Residents should stay updated with IMD bulletins and local weather apps like GujaratWeather.com for real-time updates.
Avoid outdoor activities during thunderstorms, especially in South Gujarat, where heavy rain is more likely.
Farmers should protect crops from potential waterlogging, and fishermen should heed IMD warnings.
Sources and Recommendations
This forecast is based on recent updates from the India Meteorological Department, AccuWeather, GujaratWeather.com, and posts on X, which indicate ongoing cyclonic activity affecting Gujarat. For the latest updates, check:
IMD Website: mausam.imd.gov.in for official bulletins.
GujaratWeather.com: For localized forecasts by weather analyst Ashok Patel.
AccuWeather: For detailed temperature and precipitation data.
Note: Weather conditions can change rapidly due to the dynamic nature of the cyclonic system. For precise, location-specific forecasts (e.g., hourly updates for Ahmedabad or Surat), consult local IMD nowcasts or apps like GujaratWeather.com’s mobile application.
