Gujarat Weather Update: Gujarat is expected to remain under the influence of monsoon activity from August 25 to September 1, 2026, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting light to moderate rain or thundershowers at several places across different parts of the state.
The latest IMD forecast issued on August 24 indicates that rainfall activity is likely to continue across North Gujarat, Central Gujarat, South Gujarat and Saurashtra-Kutch through August 30. The department has not issued a weather warning for Gujarat for the seven-day forecast period, while its outlook for August 31 to September 2 says “no large change.”
This means Gujarat is likely to see a mix of cloudy skies, intermittent showers and breaks in rainfall as August comes to an end and September begins.
Gujarat Weather Forecast From August 25 to September 1
The latest IMD forecast suggests that rainfall will not be limited to one particular region. Different parts of Gujarat are expected to experience showers at different intensities.
August 25: Rain Expected Across Several Regions
On August 25, light to moderate rain or thundershowers are expected at a few places in parts of North Gujarat, particularly Panchmahal, Dahod and Mahisagar. Isolated rainfall is also expected in areas including Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Vav-Tharad, Patan, Mehsana, Gandhinagar, Ahmedabad, Aravalli, Kheda and Anand.
In South Gujarat, rain is expected at a few places across Chhota Udepur, Narmada, Surat, Dang, Tapi, Navsari and Valsad, while isolated showers are possible in Vadodara and Bharuch. Saurashtra-Kutch may also experience isolated rain across districts including Rajkot, Jamnagar, Porbandar, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Morbi, Dwarka, Gir Somnath and Kutch.
August 26: Monsoon Activity Continues
The IMD forecast indicates that on August 26, light to moderate rain or thundershowers could continue at isolated places across North Gujarat. Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Mehsana, Patan, Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Aravalli, Kheda, Anand, Panchmahal, Dahod and Mahisagar are among the areas where showers are possible.
South Gujarat could see rainfall at a few places, particularly Chhota Udepur, Narmada, Surat, Dang, Tapi, Navsari and Valsad. Rain is also possible at isolated locations across Saurashtra-Kutch.
August 27–28: Rain Chances Remain
The monsoon pattern is expected to continue on August 27 and August 28. The IMD has forecast light to moderate rain or thundershowers at isolated places across North Gujarat and parts of Central Gujarat. For South Gujarat, several districts could see rain at a few places, while isolated showers are possible in Vadodara and Bharuch.
Saurashtra and Kutch are also expected to remain under the possibility of isolated rainfall. For residents, this means the weather may remain unpredictable—one area could receive a shower while another nearby location remains dry.
August 29–30: Rain Activity Likely to Persist
The latest forecast suggests that August 29 and August 30 will continue to see monsoon activity. Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are expected at isolated places across most North Gujarat districts.
In South Gujarat, areas such as Narmada, Surat, Dang, Tapi, Navsari and Valsad could receive rain at a few places, while isolated showers are expected in Vadodara, Chhota Udepur and Bharuch. Saurashtra-Kutch is also expected to see isolated rainfall during this period.
What About Gujarat Weather on August 31 and September 1?
The IMD’s seven-day detailed forecast currently runs through August 31. For the subsequent two days, covering August 31 to September 2, the official weather outlook says “No large change.”
Therefore, while an exact district-wise rainfall forecast for September 1 should be checked closer to the date, there is currently no indication of a major change in the overall weather pattern as Gujarat enters September. This suggests that monsoon conditions could continue into the beginning of September, although the exact location and intensity of rainfall may vary.
Gujarat Weather Region-Wise Forecast
North Gujarat
North Gujarat is expected to experience intermittent rain during the forecast period. Districts including Banaskantha, Vav-Tharad, Patan, Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Gandhinagar, Aravalli, Kheda, Ahmedabad, Anand, Panchmahal, Dahod and Mahisagar remain in the IMD’s rainfall forecast for different days. People travelling through northern Gujarat should therefore remain prepared for sudden showers.
Central Gujarat
Central Gujarat, including Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Kheda, Anand, Panchmahal, Vadodara and surrounding areas, could experience scattered rainfall during the week. Ahmedabad’s own forecast for August 25 indicates generally cloudy conditions with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers.
South Gujarat
South Gujarat is likely to remain one of the more active rainfall zones during this period. Surat, Tapi, Navsari, Valsad, Dang and Narmada are repeatedly included among districts where rain could occur at a few places. The IMD’s latest observations also recorded rainfall at several locations in South Gujarat during the 24 hours ending August 24, including Valod, Valsad and nearby areas.
Saurashtra-Kutch
Saurashtra and Kutch are also expected to see isolated rainfall. The forecast includes Rajkot, Jamnagar, Porbandar, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Morbi, Dwarka, Gir Somnath, Botad and Kutch, among other areas. However, rainfall distribution in this region may remain uneven, with some locations receiving showers while others experience mainly cloudy conditions.
Will Gujarat See Heavy Rain Between August 25 and September 1?
At present, the answer is not across the state as a whole. The latest IMD bulletin forecasts light to moderate rain or thundershowers across several areas, but it has listed no weather warning for Gujarat for each of the seven forecast days covered in the bulletin.
That does not mean heavy rain cannot occur locally. Monsoon showers can become intense over a short period, particularly during thunderstorms. Residents should therefore continue monitoring fresh IMD alerts if rainfall intensity increases.
Gujarat Weather and Temperatures
Temperatures are expected to remain typical of late-monsoon conditions, with warm and humid weather continuing across much of Gujarat. Cloud cover and rainfall may provide temporary relief from daytime heat, while humidity could remain noticeable, especially in coastal and southern districts.
The IMD’s latest state report recorded rainfall at several places in South Gujarat and isolated locations in North Gujarat and Kutch during the 24 hours ending August 24.
Gujarat Weather Could Affect Travel
The changing monsoon conditions could affect road and rail travel in parts of the state.
Short spells of heavy rain, even when the overall forecast calls for light to moderate rainfall, can result in:
- Waterlogging on low-lying roads
- Traffic congestion
- Reduced visibility
- Slippery roads
- Delays for two-wheelers
- Localised flooding near drainage-sensitive areas
People travelling between cities should check the latest weather and traffic updates before starting their journey.
Ahmedabad Weather Forecast
Ahmedabad is expected to experience cloudy conditions with spells of rain or thundershowers during parts of the forecast period. The IMD specifically forecasts generally cloudy skies with one or two spells of rain or thundershowers for Ahmedabad and its surrounding areas in the immediate forecast. Residents should therefore keep rain protection handy, particularly during outdoor travel.
Surat and South Gujarat Weather Forecast
Surat and other parts of South Gujarat are expected to remain relatively active from a rainfall perspective. The IMD has repeatedly included Surat, Tapi, Navsari, Valsad and Dang among areas where rainfall is likely at a few places during the forecast period. This could mean continued humid weather, cloudy skies and intermittent showers as August ends.
Rajkot and Saurashtra Weather Forecast
Rajkot and other parts of Saurashtra are expected to see isolated rainfall rather than continuous widespread rain. Rajkot, Jamnagar, Porbandar, Junagadh, Amreli, Bhavnagar and other Saurashtra districts remain in the IMD’s forecast for isolated showers during several days of the period.

Final Outlook
Gujarat is likely to remain under monsoon influence as August ends.
From August 25 through August 30, the IMD expects light to moderate rain or thundershowers at different places across North Gujarat, Central Gujarat, South Gujarat and Saurashtra-Kutch. South Gujarat, including Surat, Navsari, Valsad, Tapi and Dang, is among the areas where rainfall is expected at a few places on multiple days.
For August 31 and September 1, the current official outlook does not indicate a major change. However, because rainfall forecasts can shift with changing weather systems, residents should check the latest IMD updates closer to the date.
In short: Gujarat is not expected to see a complete break from monsoon conditions yet, and intermittent rain could continue as the state moves from August into September.
