Rain is forecast to strengthen across Gujarat from September 12, but the state remains around 20% below normal and Saurashtra-Kutch about 39% deficient.

IMD's September 9 warnings are region-specific: heavy rain is flagged in Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal and parts of the Northeast, while some regions show no warning.
