According to the latest weather update shared by the IMD, light rains may occur at “isolated places” in north Gujarat districts, and Ahmedabad on October 14 and 15.
“The atmosphere will remain cloudy. The next day, light rains may occur in Ahmedabad and other northern districts, such as Banaskantha, Sabarkantha and Arvalli,” said Manorama Mohanty, director of the Meteorological Centre in Ahmedabad.
She added that light rains are also expected in Banaskantha and Sabarkantha districts on October 16, adding that the possibility of light rains at a few places in Ahmedabad cannot be ruled out for that day as well.
Rain played spoilsport in India vs Pakistan Asia Cup. The group match was washed out with no reserve day in place in Pallekele. Rain also interrupted IND vs PAK Super 4 clash in Asia Cup. And with Round 3 of the mega clash, rain is set to play spoilsport once again.
It must be noted that there is no reserve day in place for World Cup league stage games. Reserve Day only comes into place from the semifinals.
