Low-Pressure Area Over Northeast Madhya Pradesh Brings Rain to Gujarat
IN · Published Aug 24, 2026
A well-marked low-pressure area persists over northeast Madhya Pradesh and its surrounding regions as of 1430 hrs IST on 20th August
This system is accompanied by a cyclonic circulation extending up to 7.6 km above mean sea level, tilting southwards with height. The monsoon trough at mean sea level passes through Amritsar, Najibabad, Fatehgarh, Hardoi, and the centre of the low-pressure area, continuing towards Digha. This system is expected to bring light to moderate rain and thundershowers to various districts in Gujarat over the coming days.

Impact & Risks

The rainfall is likely to affect both North and South Gujarat regions, including districts such as Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, and Vadodara. While the rain is expected to be light to moderate, it may disrupt daily activities in some areas, particularly in regions prone to waterlogging. Agricultural activities may benefit from the rainfall, but excessive precipitation in isolated areas could pose risks of localised flooding.
