Gujarat rains have been relentless this season. On Sunday, flooding impacted areas of Himmatnagar, submerging cars on roads and disrupting the lives of locals, with the situation only set to continue due to weather forecasts.

gauging the situation, Rescue teams have been dispatched by the administration to help those affected by the floods. Currently, predictions from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast that the situation is going to worsen, with a yellow alert issued for Sabarkantha until September 2, 2023.

This year's monsoon has been unusual, with Himmatnagar usually being an area that's spared from heavy rains. This year, however, Avni Park Society, Shastrinagar, and Shagun Bungalows have all been badly hit. Entire cars and infrastructures have been almost completely submerged. Local citizens are used to dealing with monsoon floods, but this year's extreme weather is proving to be unprecedented.

The coming days' weather forecasts will determine what help and precautions are necessary to combat the worsening situation. Either way, locals will have to prepare for the worst if they are to avoid the worst of the damage. At present, the causes of the floods are a combination of unusual weather patterns and urban development.

One source, who asked to remain anonymous, suggested that "the government is not doing enough to adapt to the impacts of climate change, and it's the people who suffer". Time will tell whether the situation improves or gets worse, but one thing is certain, Himmatnagar and Sabarkantha as a whole will be hoping for the weather to let up.
