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.
