Gujarat weather today: IMD warns of heavy rain in Surat, Rajkot as monsoon withdrawal nears

Weather conditions are expected to remain active across parts of western and central India on Tuesday, with a low-pressure area over southeast Rajasthan and adjoining north Gujarat continuing to influence rainfall over the region. At the same time, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said conditions are becoming favourable for the Southwest Monsoon to begin withdrawing from parts of west Rajasthan around September 19.

The low-pressure area remains the main weather system affecting Gujarat and Rajasthan. It has already produced intense rainfall, with isolated extremely heavy rain likely over Saurashtra and Kutch, while parts of Gujarat may receive very heavy showers.

As the system moves and develops, its associated weather activity is expected to continue affecting parts of Rajasthan, Gujarat and central India on Tuesday.
