Explanation:

Gujarat is blessed with the longest coastline of 1600 km. Summers (March through May) are quite hot, however, with temperatures typically rising well above 100 °F (38 °C) during the day and dropping only into the 90s F (low 30s C) at night, Gujarat is drier in the north than in the south. Rainfall is lowest in the northwestern part of the state-in the Rann of Katch. The coastline of Gujarat includes two, gulf areas Gulf of Katchh and Gulf of Khambat.
