El Nino Delays Winter in Gujarat, Temperatures Remain High
IN · Published Nov 1, 2026
• Gujarat is experiencing unseasonably high temperatures this November due to strong El Nino conditions prevailing over the equatorial Pacific Ocean, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
• Typically, November brings cooler mornings to the state, but this year, daytime temperatures are expected to remain significantly above normal, with nighttime temperatures also staying higher than average.

Impact & Risks

The prolonged warm weather is delaying the onset of winter in Gujarat, affecting residents who typically experience cooler conditions during November. The higher-than-average temperatures, especially at night, may lead to discomfort and increased energy consumption for cooling. Agricultural activities could also be impacted, as the lack of cooler temperatures may affect crop growth cycles. The strong El Nino conditions are expected to persist through November and December, prolonging the unseasonable heat.
