While the very severe cyclonic storm 'Vayu' brought in mayhem for the coastal areas of Gujarat, it brought in the much-required relief for Ahmedabad and its adjoining areas on Thursday. Isolated rainfall, a cloudy sky, and moisture-laden winds helped in arresting the soaring mercury in the city that was giving a tough time to citizens. In fact, the city, on Thursday, recorded a maximum temperature of 35.6 degrees Celsius, which was hovering around 43-44 degrees just two days back.
What is even better is the prediction of the Met office that the city will continue to witness a generally cloudy sky with chances of light rainfall during the next 48 hours, which would continue to keep the mercury under check. As per weather office's forecast, the maximum temperature in the city will be under 39 degrees Celsius during the next two days and will, thereafter, fluctuate. However, it has clarified that the maximum temperature will not cross 40 degrees Celsius till June 19, with the cloud cover likely to keep the temperatures under control.
