IMD warns of heavy rain in Gujarat; orange alert issued

India Oct 30, 2025

Heads up, Gujarat! The IMD has put out an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rain, thanks to a weather system moving in from the Arabian Sea.
Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms over the next day or so, especially if you're in Saurashtra or Kutch—these areas could see the worst of it.

Rain expected in every district

Rain is on the cards for pretty much every district in Gujarat, plus Daman, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, and Diu.
Northern spots like Banaskantha and Ahmedabad might get light to moderate showers, while southern districts such as Surat and Valsad are also likely to get wet.
The alert stays until October 31, with Porbandar, Junagadh, and Dwarka expected to be hit hardest.
Farmers have already felt some disruption—so stay safe and keep an eye on updates!
