Ahmedabad weather in August

August continues the monsoon season, with temperatures ranging approximately between 25°C and 33°C. The city experiences frequent rainfall, sometimes heavy, resulting in cooler days but persistently high humidity. The skies remain overcast, with occasional sunny breaks between showers. Wind speeds vary, with mild to moderate monsoon gusts making the climate unpredictable at times.

Although August remains an off-season for conventional tourism, monsoon travellers and nature lovers appreciate the lush surroundings. Water levels in lakes and stepwells rise, adding to their beauty, and the post-rain freshness makes short outdoor visits enjoyable. However, flood-prone areas should be avoided, as water accumulation can disrupt travel plans.
