5. Gujarat Climate Mega thermic category with mean soil temperature exceeding 28°C. Air temperature in January normally remains over 10°C. Maximum temperature in May goes over 45°C 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.
