તારીખ ૨૭ ઓગસ્ટ થી ૨ સપ્ટેમ્બર ૨૦૧૪:

આગલો રાઉન્ડ પૂરો થયો છે પરંતુ તારીખ ૨૭ થી ૨૯ ના સૌરાષ્ટ્ર અને ગુજરાત માં છુટા છવાયા ઝાપટા અને દક્ષીણ ગુજરાત ને મધ્ય ગુજરાત માં છુટા છવાયા ઝાપટા અથવા હળવો વરસાદ.

નવો રાઉન્ડ:
તારીખ ૩૦ ઓગસ્ટ થી ૨ સપ્ટેમ્બર દરમ્યાન સૌરાષ્ટ્ર અને ગુજરાત ના મોટા ભાગ માં મધ્યમ અને ભારે વરસાદ થશે બાકી ના વિસ્તારો માં હળવો માધ્યમ વરસાદ થશે. કચ્છ માં વરસાદ ના ઊજળા સંજોગો છે પરંતુ બંગાળની ખાડી માં લો પ્રેસર થયે કચ્છ માટે ની અપડેટ આપવામાં આવશે.

આગળ રાઉન્ડ કરતા આ રાઉન્ડ માં વરસાદ ની વધુ આશા છે.
