During summers, the daytime temperature is around Template:Convert and at night no lower than Template:Convert. The monsoon season lasts from June to September. Most of Gujarat receives scant rainfall. Southern Gujarat and the hilly regions receive heavy rainfall during the monsoons with high humidity which makes the air feel hotter. There is relief when the monsoon season starts (around mid June). The day temperatures are lowered but humidity is very high and nights are around Template:Convert. Most of the rainfall occurs in this season, and the rain can cause severe Floods. The sun is often occluded during the monsoon season. Though mostly dry, it is desertic in the north-west, and wet in the southern districts due to a heavy monsoon season.
Gujarat, located on the western coast of India, is impacted by the tropical cyclones originating mostly in the Arabian Sea. There is a positive trend in both the frequency and intensity of cyclonic activity between 2001 and 2019.[2]
