Cyclone Forecast By Ambalal Patel And Imd: Farmers in Gujarat should prepare for challenging weather ahead as both the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and weather expert Ambalal Patel have issued forecasts indicating a possible cyclone and heavy rainfall over the coming days. According to reports, rain intensity will increase from October 25, with widespread showers expected across Gujarat on October 27 and 28. Thunderstorms accompanied by light to moderate rainfall are also likely.
IMD Issues Heavy Rain Warning for Gujarat
The IMD has warned of heavy rainfall in several districts on October 25 and 26. Between now and October 29, light to moderate rain is expected in various parts of the state, with heavy showers predicted particularly on October 25 and 26.
Districts Expected to Receive Heavy Rain
On October 25, heavy rain is forecast for Surat, Navsari, Valsad, Daman, Dadra Nagar Haveli, Dang, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Gir Somnath, and Diu.
On October 26, Bharuch, Porbandar, Junagadh, Gir Somnath, Amreli, Bhavnagar, Rajkot, and Diu are expected to receive heavy rainfall. Fishermen have been advised to avoid venturing into the sea on these days, as wind speeds could reach 35–45 km/h, gusting up to 55 km/h. A “Port Warning DC 1” remains in effect.
Cyclone Brewing in the Arabian Sea
Wind speeds in the Saurashtra region may reach 30–40 km/h between October 25 and 26. IMD Director Dr. A.K. Das stated that a depression has formed over the southeast Arabian Sea, moving north-northeast at about 5 km/h.
Weather Update for Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad will experience partly cloudy skies, with maximum temperatures around 36°C and minimum temperatures near 25°C. No significant temperature changes are expected over the next two days; however, a drop of 2–3°C may occur afterward.
Ambalal Patel’s Latest Cyclone Prediction
Meteorologist Ambalal Patel has predicted that a low-pressure system forming over the Bay of Bengal could strengthen into a severe cyclone by October 28–29, with wind speeds reaching 100–150 km/h. This system is expected to take shape around October 23–24, bringing heavy rain over the Bay of Bengal region. Patel also indicated that a separate low-pressure system could form over the Arabian Sea around October 19, potentially intensifying into a severe cyclone as it moves northwest. The system may influence parts of South India, Rajasthan, and Pakistan, with its exact path yet to be determined.
A strong western disturbance is also expected to affect northern hill regions of India by the end of the month.

Impact on Gujarat’s Weather
The combined effects of the Bay of Bengal cyclone and the Arabian Sea system are likely to alter Gujarat’s weather pattern significantly. Even after November 7, heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected in southern India, which could influence certain regions of Gujarat as well.
As a result, Gujarat may witness a noticeable seasonal shift by November, with winter-like and monsoon-like weather conditions overlapping due to continued cyclonic activity in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.
