# Ahmedabad logs 35.6°C on 5 November, winter slow to start 2026-11-06T04:29:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Ahmedabad recorded a maximum temperature of 35.6 degrees Celsius on Thursday (5 November 2026), 1.1 degrees above the seasonal average, as unseasonable warmth persisted across Gujarat. The city’s minimum settled at 21.8 degrees Celsius, 2.8 degrees above normal, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Across the state, minimum temperatures ranged from 20 to 23 degrees Celsius, with Naliya recording the lowest at 17.7 degrees Celsius. Rajkot was the warmest at 37.7 degrees Celsius. The IMD has forecast little immediate relief, with Ahmedabad’s minimum expected to stay around 22 degrees Celsius on Friday (6 November 2026) and no major change in night temperatures over the next seven days. With both day and night readings above normal, winter appears to be making a slow start across the state this year. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The India Meteorological Department forecast confirms no immediate relief from unseasonable warmth, which means residents face another week of above-normal night temperatures. The gap between day and night readings remains small, indicating that the usual November cooling pattern has not set in. Winter’s slow start across Gujarat this year leaves open whether a sharper temperature drop will arrive later in the season. The IMD’s seven-day outlook will be the key timeframe to watch for any shift toward normal winter conditions. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with temperature anomalies but frames as a local weather report with no political angle This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
