⚠️ Weather Alert for Gujarat & Madhya Pradesh
Hi everyone,
I don’t usually write posts like this, but with the way the weather’s shaping up in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, I felt it was important to just reach out and say: please be careful these next few days.
The weather has already started acting strange — darker skies than usual, sudden gusts of wind, that weird heaviness in the air. If the weather’s felt a bit off to you lately, you’re definitely not wrong. There’s a serious weather alert out for both states, and it’s better to know what’s going on than to be caught off guard.
☁️ What’s Happening Exactly?
From what the India Meteorological Department (IMD) is saying, there’s a system moving through our region that’s bringing heavy rains, thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds — especially over the next 48 to 72 hours.
If you’re in Gujarat:
Places like Surat, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Vadodara, Jamnagar, and nearby areas might see really strong winds (up to 60 km/h!), loud thunder, and nonstop rain.
If you live close to the coast, it’s best to stay away from the shoreline right now. Fishermen have been advised to stay ashore, and for good reason. The sea is going to be rough, and it’s just not worth the risk.
For those in Madhya Pradesh:
If you’re around Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Ujjain, or nearby towns, expect scattered heavy rain, possible hailstorms, and windy weather that can get pretty wild, especially in open areas.
💭 Why This Is a Big Deal
It’s not just about getting wet or carrying an umbrella. This kind of weather can disrupt life in serious ways:
Streets can flood quickly
Power might go out in some areas
Travel plans could get messed up
And for farmers — this rain could damage crops that are ready to harvest
It’s the kind of situation where we all need to look out for each other — not panic, but definitely stay aware and prepared.
🛑 A Few Simple Things You Can Do
Seriously, don’t stress — this doesn’t have to be complicated. A few little things can go a long way in keeping you and your loved ones safe.
Plug in your phone and power bank now — because when the electricity goes out, and your battery’s at 12%, you’ll wish you had.
Stay indoors if you can — unless it’s really urgent, try not to head out in the middle of a downpour or a thunderstorm. Wet roads, low visibility, and strong winds? Not worth the risk.
Unplug things like your TV, router, or computer if the lightning gets intense. A quick unplug can save you a lot of trouble (and money).
If you’re driving, go slow. Watch out for waterlogged roads and fallen branches or wires.Avoid driving through flooded roads — it’s much more dangerous than it seems.
Got candles or a flashlight? Keep them somewhere you can actually find them in the dark. (No shame if you’ve used your phone torch to find your emergency torch before.)
Pets get scared too — bring them inside, keep them calm. They don’t understand the noise, and they’ll feel safer just being near you.
And hey — check in on your neighbours, especially if they’re older or live alone. A simple call or a quick visit might really brighten someone’s day right now.
If you drive, watch out for slippery roads and fallen branches.
Keep candles, a flashlight, or an emergency light nearby.
Unplug electronics if the lightning gets too close — just in case.
And please — check on elderly neighbors or relatives who might not know what’s happening.
If you have pets, bring them inside. Storms can really scare them, and they’ll feel much safer next to you.

💛 Let’s Take Care of Each Other
I know we’re all busy. But this is one of those times when it helps to slow down, check in on your people, and take a little extra care.
Bad weather passes. But the way we handle it — the way we support each other — is what matters most.
Please stay safe, stay dry, and if you see someone who might need help (even just a ride or a message), do what you can. We’re stronger together.
Take care of yourselves — and each other.
Sending warm wishes and safe vibes from my side. 💙
