We’ve all been feeling that creeping afternoon heat, but the last 24 hours have brought a bit of a plot twist. According to the latest IMD reports from February 26, 2026, a specific weather system an upper air cyclonic circulation off the Gujarat coast—is shaking things up.The "7-District" Watchlist The weather office hasn't just made a general statement; they’ve identified seven specific districts where the atmosphere is particularly unstable. If you’re in Sabarkantha, Aravalli, Narmada, Dang, Tapi, Bhavnagar, or Amreli, you might see some light rain or sudden thundershowers.Why is this happening? It’s all about the moisture. Winds blowing in from the Arabian Sea are carrying more humidity than usual for this time of year. When that moisture hits the warming land, it creates those patchy clouds and unexpected drizzles we've been seeing.The Impact on Daily Life For most of us, it’s just a bit of a surprise maybe a slightly cooler evening or a dusty afternoon. But for the farmers in North Gujarat and the Saurashtra region, this "unseasonal" activity is a cause for concern. February is a critical month for standing crops, and even a light, unexpected shower can change the harvest game.What to expect next? While these seven districts are the main focus, the rest of the state, including big hubs like Ahmedabad and Surat, might just see some "partly cloudy" skies. The good news? This isn't a major storm system, so there’s no need to panic. However, it’s definitely a reminder that the transition from winter to summer is rarely a straight line!
