So, this year the month of April is likely to be very hot and dry. The temperature could be higher than the normal particularly in the western parts of the country like Gujarat and Maharashtra. The transit of Jupiter in fiery sign Aries in the Navamsha of Sagittarius also indicate hotter than the normal summer season during the April month.

There will be scarcity of water in some more cities of South India during the month of April as dry planet Ketu is transiting in Virgo which signify the south direction as per the Koorma Chakra.
