આજે દક્ષીણ પશ્ચિમ ચોમાસું ક્યાંય નથી ચાલ્યું. એનો મતલબ એમ છે કે ગઈ કાલે દેશ ના ખાસ નવા વિસ્તાર માં વરસાદ ના હતો એમ સમજવું. એક બે દિવસ માં ઓડીશા, છતીશગઢ, આન્ધ્ર  પશ્ચિમ બંગાળ ના વધુ વિસ્તારો માં ચોમાસું છવાશે.

સૌરાષ્ટ્ર ના  વિસ્તારો માં છૂટો  છવાયો સારો વરસાદ થયેલ છે… ચોમાસું ડિક્લેર થાય કે ના થાય.
