Rain expected to resume after three-week gap; Kutch and Saurashtra face 40% rainfall shortfall

Gujarat is likely to see rainfall resume after a three-week lull in precipitation. The meteorological department has indicated that rain activity is expected to pick up across the state in the coming days.

Kutch and Saurashtra regions continue to face a significant rainfall deficit, lagging 40% behind normal levels for the season. This shortfall has raised concerns about water availability and agricultural output in these drought-prone areas.

The anticipated rainfall could help narrow the deficit, though sustained precipitation will be needed to fully bridge the gap and support monsoon-dependent farming activities.
