🌀 What This Means for Gujarat
The onset of intense rainfall is critical for agriculture, especially for farmers who are sowing Kharif crops. However, excessive rainfall in short durations may also lead to:
- Waterlogging in low-lying areas
- Disruption in local transport
- Increased risk of river swelling and flooding in rural belts
- Power cuts and damage to roads or property
Precaution is key—residents in vulnerable districts should stay indoors during peak rainfall, avoid traveling through waterlogged areas, and keep emergency supplies handy.
