The remaining parts of Gujarat will also experience rainfall. Many systems were responsible for the lack of rain there.
Several reasons are currently responsible for the favorable rainfall conditions over the rest of Gujarat, including the activation of a seasonal trough starting from northwestern Rajasthan to the Bay of Bengal low pressure area, which was active over northern parts of Pakistan and Rajasthan so far due to which parts of north and central Gujarat recorded light rainfall, it is now lowering to increase the chances of rain in north Gujarat.
