The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of Gujarat on December 1 and 2. The IMD has issued an orange alert for December 1 and a yellow notice for December 2 in Gujarat’s Anand, Bharuch, Navsari, Valsad, Amreli, and Bhavnagar districts.
Rainfall is expected to begin on November 30 as a result of an active Western Disturbance (WD) and will strike northwest and adjacent central India beginning on November 30.
A alert for fishermen has been issued for the north and south Gujarat coasts from November 30 to December 2. Due to the unseasonal rain, farmers have been advised to take adequate safeguards for their harvest and standing crops.
