Gujarat has been witnessing heavy rain and floods since the monsoon hit the state on June 27. The downpour threw life out of gear and affected the movement of traffic in the Surat, Valsad, Navsari, and Tapi districts of south Gujarat.
However, the pace of rain is expected to slow down from July 1.
Naresh Kumar, senior scientist at the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday, "Monsoon is in its advanced stage and is active. We can see clouds over Kokan, Goa, Central India, as well as Northeastern states.
He also predicted that the east and northeast parts of the country will receive heavy rainfall in the next five days."East and Northeast India is expected to receive heavy rainfall in the next five days, due to moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal," the IMD scientist said.
