Ahmedabad set to witness 41°C, put on ‘yellow alert’

The effects of the upper air cyclonic circulation caused by the waning of the western disturbance saw the city record a maximum temperature of 41.3°C on Tuesday.

It was the second straight day of a maximum higher than 40°C, after Sunday’s strong winds and light drizzle.

The maximum temperature is likely to be higher than 40°C for the next two days, according to the IMD forecast.

The IMD has issued heatwave warnings for Porbandar, Junagadh and Gir Somnath with moderate heat concerns for those susceptible to weather change.

From Friday onwards, maximum temperatures are likely to come down slightly.

With high temperatures and high humidity, those in coastal areas are likely to suffer discomfort.

There is a high chance of high temperatures prevailing in the state after a few days.

The minimum temperatures in cities like Ahmedabad have remained high for the past few days.
