- South Gujarat: Valsad, Navsari, Dang, Tapi, Surat, Bharuch, and Narmada districts have a 55-65% higher chance of receiving above-average rain.
- Central Gujarat: Vadodara, Anand, Kheda, Panchmahal, Chhota Udepur, and Dahod are also expected to benefit from a wetter-than-normal season.
- North Gujarat: Rain predictions are slightly uncertain for Banaskantha, Patan, Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Aravalli, and Mahisagar, but good rain remains a possibility based on overall color mapping.
