Regional Impact Breakdown
Saurashtra and Kutch
The initial three days will see the most severe weather in the coastal and western regions. Districts like Porbandar, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Gir Somnath, Botad, and Kutch are specifically marked for heavy rains under isolated conditions. Residents in these areas are advised to prepare for localized flooding and significant travel disruptions, as these conditions often trigger IMD Orange or Yellow alerts.
South Gujarat Region
Southern districts and the Union Territories are also on high alert. On Day-3, Bharuch and Surat are singled out for heavy rainfall. The entire South Gujarat belt, including Vadodara, Chhota Udepur, Narmada, Dang, Navsari, Valsad, Tapi, Daman, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli, is expected to witness widespread light to moderate rain and thunderstorms with gusty winds over the first three days.
North Gujarat and Central Gujarat
While unlikely to face the “heavy rain” intensity of the coastal belt, the North Gujarat region (Banaskantha, Patan, Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Kheda, Anand, Dahod, etc.) is highly susceptible to light to moderate rain with thunderstorms and lightning on Days 1, 2, and 3. The surface winds in these areas could reach speeds of $30-40 \text{ kmph}$.
Relief Expected by Mid-Week
A significant change in the weather pattern is expected to begin from Day-5 (November 4th). The forecast indicates NIL adverse weather for Days 5, 6, and 7, pointing towards a complete cessation of the heavy rainfall spell and a return to generally dry conditions across the state by the middle of next week.

- Avoid Travel through severely waterlogged areas, especially in coastal districts under heavy rain warnings.
- Fishermen are strongly advised not to venture into the turbulent Arabian Sea off the North and South Gujarat coasts.
