Winter Chill Intensifies Across Gujarat
The winter season has firmly established its presence in Gujarat, with Vadodara emerging as the coldest location in the state by recording a minimum temperature of 14 degrees Celsius on Sunday, November 9, 2025. This reading marks a significant departure from normal patterns, as Vadodara's temperature showed the highest variation from usual minimums across the state at 4.9 degrees below normal.
Temperature Patterns Across Major Cities
The meteorological data reveals interesting patterns across Gujarat's urban centers. While Vadodara claimed the coldest spot on Sunday, other cities also experienced notable temperature drops. Gandhinagar recorded 14.5 degrees Celsius, closely following Vadodara's lead. The previous day, Saturday, had seen Gandhinagar as the coldest at exactly 14 degrees Celsius.
Other significant temperature recordings from Sunday include Keshod at 14.7 degrees Celsius, Mahuva at 14.3 degrees Celsius, and Ahmedabad at 15.3 degrees Celsius. Regional centers like Deesa and Rajkot both registered 15.5 degrees Celsius, while Kandla Airport recorded 15.8 degrees Celsius.
IMD Forecast and Weather Outlook
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an official statement on Sunday indicating that residents should prepare for consistent cold conditions. The department confirmed that no large change in minimum temperature is expected during the next seven days, suggesting the current winter pattern will persist throughout the week.
Daytime temperatures have also registered below normal readings, with maximum temperatures ranging between 29 degrees Celsius in Okha to 33.2 degrees Celsius in Rajkot on Sunday. This comprehensive temperature drop affects both night and daytime conditions across the state.
The weather pattern shows an interesting shift from traditional norms, as Naliya, which typically holds the distinction of being Gujarat's coldest center, recorded 14.2 degrees Celsius - slightly warmer than Vadodara's reading. This deviation from established weather patterns highlights the dynamic nature of this year's winter onset in the western Indian state.
