Heat wave conditions will prevail at isolated regions in Gujarat before temperatures across the state return to normal in 2-3 days, according to the Met Department here.

"Heat wave conditions remain mainly in North Gujarat region. Saurashtra-Kutch as well as South Gujarat regions are no longer experiencing heat wave," in-charge director of IMD Centre at Ahmedabad, Manorama Mohanty said today.

Temperatures across the state will be restored to normal in another 2-3 days, Mohanty said.

"As per current forecast, heat wave conditions will stay in north Gujarat region for another 24 hours," she said.

Temperatures in North Gujarat have been hovering between 40-42 degrees in the last few days.
 

Dry northerly winds have caused a rise in temperature and the dry conditions in the state can be attributed to lack of moisture, the official said.

On Monday, mercury in Ahmedabad touched 42.8 degrees breaking seven-year record for the month of March.
