Heavy Rainfall Alert Issued for Gujarat as Monsoon Revives
IN · Published Sep 12, 2026
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a revival of monsoon activity across Gujarat starting from 12th September
South Gujarat, Central Gujarat, and parts of Saurashtra are expected to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall between 12th and 15th September. This weather change is attributed to active systems, including a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Specific districts such as Dang, Navsari, Valsad, Amreli, and Bhavnagar are under close watch due to the likelihood of significant rainfall. Surat is forecast to receive heavy rainfall on 12th September, very heavy rainfall on 13th September, and heavy rainfall again on 14th September.

Impact & Risks

The forecasted heavy to very heavy rainfall could lead to localised flooding and waterlogging in vulnerable districts, particularly in South Gujarat and parts of Saurashtra. Areas such as Dang, Navsari, Valsad, Amreli, and Bhavnagar are at higher risk. The rainfall revival may provide relief from the prolonged dry spell but could also disrupt daily activities, transportation, and agriculture in affected regions. Residents in low-lying areas should remain vigilant.
