A low-pressure system forming over southwest Rajasthan and neighbouring areas is poised to deliver extremely heavy rainfall to Gujarat's Saurashtra-Kutch belt, according to the India Meteorological Department. The system is expected to intensify precipitation across the region during the coming days, with residents and authorities urged to remain vigilant for potential flood-related impacts.
The meteorological agency has indicated that the current monsoon phase will likely begin its withdrawal cycle around September 19, marking a transition toward post-monsoon conditions. This timing suggests the extreme rainfall event represents one of the final major weather systems of the southwest monsoon season in the region.
The IMD has not specified the precise timing or volume of expected rainfall, but the extremely heavy rainfall classification indicates precipitation significantly above normal levels. Authorities in Gujarat are expected to monitor the system closely and issue updates as the weather pattern develops over the coming days.
