 Gujarat Climate
Mega thermic category with mean soil temperature
exceeding 28C.
Air temperature in January normally remains over 10C.
Maximum temperature in May goes over 45C in north and
north-west Gujarat.
Rainfall is the most dominant climatic factor. Average
rainfall is 972 mm, received in 35 days mostly from June to
September with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 50%.
Spatially it ranges from 300 mm in north-west to 2,200 mm
in south-east.
12 out of 26 districts of Gujarat are drought prone.
24.94% area falls under arid and 33.56% is under semi
arid area region.
