Current Weather Conditions on 6th December 2010 @ 4.00 pm.

Weather over Saurashtra, Kutch & Gujarat has been dry with good sunshine with occasional scattered clouds. Maximum Temperatures are normal to slightly below normal and the Minimum Temperatures were above normal at most places of these regions during the last two days. Nalia is an exception where the Minimum Temperature is reported to be about 6.5 to 7.5 Degrees C. At the cost of repetition I would mention that surprisingly rest of the places in Kutch do not reflect this type of low Minimum Temperature. This anomaly of low Minimum Temperature for Nalia needs to be studied. Rajkot had a Minimum of 17 Degrees C. which is about 3 C above normal for this time of the year.
