The maximum temperature on Wednesday came down to 39°C from 41°C on Tuesday.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast, there will be no major change in maximum temperatures for five days.

The current change is caused by a cyclonic circulation over southwest Rajasthan and its neighbourhood, the IMD bulletin states.

The system will produce light rain or thundershowers in Valsad, Navsari, Surat, Amreli and Bhavnagar districts, the forecast said.

Only Amreli at 40.4°C had a maximum temperature higher than 40°C on Wednesday. Nine weather stations had temperatures over 38°C.
