Valsad and Vapi Cold Wave Begins: Chilling Winter Hits 15°C [Weather Update]
Cold Wave Grips Valsad and Vapi at 15 Degrees A sharp change in weather conditions has been witnessed across Valsad district and nearby Union Territory areas over the past few days, marking the strong arrival of winter in South Gujarat. The intensity of cold has been steadily increasing, and on Wednesday, the minimum temperature in Vapi and across the Valsad district dropped sharply to 15 degrees Celsius. This sudden fall in temperature has begun to significantly affect daily life, signaling the onset of what locals are calling a “killer cold.”
The cold wave is being felt more intensely in the hilly regions of Kaprada and Dharampur, where dense forests and elevated terrain amplify the chill compared to other parts of the state. In these areas, nighttime temperatures have dropped noticeably, and residents in remote rural pockets of Valsad district are experiencing severe cold much earlier than usual. Weather observers believe that if temperatures have fallen this much at the early stage of winter, the coming days could bring even harsher cold conditions.
During daytime hours, sunlight provides some relief, and people experience mild warmth. However, as evening approaches, cold winds begin to blow strongly, causing temperatures to fall rapidly. Early mornings on the Vapi, Pardi, and Valsad highways are seeing dramatic changes in atmospheric conditions. Dense fog has started forming, significantly reducing visibility on highways and posing challenges for drivers. Commuters are being forced to slow down due to low visibility, increasing the risk of road accidents during early hours.
Over the past three days, the intensity of cold has increased steadily. In forested and hilly regions like Kaprada and Dharampur, thick layers of fog blanket the land and sky during early morning hours. While the fog-covered landscape creates visually stunning scenes, it also brings biting cold that has become difficult for residents to tolerate. People living in these areas report that the cold now feels harsher, especially during nighttime and early morning hours.
To protect themselves from the cold, locals have already started using warm clothing. Roads and public places during mornings and evenings are filled with people wearing sweaters, jackets, mufflers, and shawls. In rural areas, residents are lighting small bonfires at various locations to keep warm. Farmers working in fields and elderly people sitting in open courtyards are relying on these fires to escape the biting cold. The sudden drop in temperature has also resulted in a noticeable rise in the sale of winter clothing in local markets.
The cold wave has also affected the Union Territory of Daman, though in a slightly different way. While residents feel the chill, tourists are enjoying the pleasant winter weather. A significant increase has been recorded in the number of tourists visiting Daman’s beaches to enjoy the cool sea breeze. People are seen strolling along the coastline, soaking in the cold winds and scenic views. Hotels and resorts in Daman are witnessing a surge in bookings, which is being welcomed as positive news for the local tourism industry.
Despite the charm of the winter season, the increasing cold has begun to disrupt normal routines. People leaving for work early in the morning and children going to school are facing discomfort due to the low temperatures. Doctors have advised citizens to take proper care of their health during this changing weather. Medical experts warn that cold conditions can lead to an increase in illnesses such as cold, cough, and fever. Elderly individuals and children, in particular, are advised to avoid exposure to cold winds and to wear adequate warm clothing.
This sudden shift in weather has brought an unmistakable winter feel across the entire Valsad district. According to weather experts, if wind patterns change in the coming days, temperatures may fall even further. At present, residents of Vapi and Valsad are experiencing a mixed response to the pink cold, enjoying the freshness while also struggling with the harsh chill during mornings and nights.
The dense fog in the early hours and the cold winds at night have officially announced the arrival of winter in South Gujarat. As temperatures hover around 15 degrees Celsius, people are bracing themselves for colder days ahead. With winter tightening its grip, authorities and health experts are urging citizens to stay cautious, especially during early morning travel and nighttime exposure.
