What were the predictions before the massive devastation in Gujarat after the monsoon?

Ahmedabad, October 30, 2025

The monsoon in Gujarat has been quite prolonged. The unseasonal rains that followed the monsoon have caused massive devastation for farmers, causing losses worth billions of rupees. Most of the crops in the fields have been destroyed. Despite the Meteorological Department’s rain forecast, neither the Agriculture nor the Revenue Department warned farmers. The BBC repeatedly predicted rain, but farmers were unprepared. The Collector’s primary responsibility was to inform farmers in his area about the rains through the press. However, he did not hesitate to forward or retweet emails from ministers and the government, which is likely to cause losses of at least 18,000 crore rupees.
Gujarat has received very good rainfall this year, and there is no shortage of rain in any part of the state. South Gujarat has received 123 to 135 percent of the average rainfall. This year, rainfall exceeded 118 percent of the average. Kutch has received the highest rainfall, at 150 percent.

North Gujarat has received 121 percent of average monsoon rainfall, East Central Gujarat 117 percent, and Saurashtra 108 percent. South Gujarat has received more than 123 percent of average rainfall, and Navsari, Dang, and Valsad districts are still receiving regular rainfall.
East Gujarat has received 117 percent of average rainfall.

Dams
According to government data, Gujarat’s reservoirs are 98 percent full on average. The state’s largest dam, Sardar Sarovar, has overflowed 100 percent. Eight out of 15 dams in North Gujarat have overflowed, while 14 out of 17 dams in Central Gujarat and 12 out of 13 dams in South Gujarat have overflowed. 10 out of 20 dams in Kutch have overflowed. 85 out of 141 dams in Saurashtra have overflowed.
