Downpours cool Amreli, Bhavnagar

Rajkot: The unsparing heat took a backseat briefly in Amreli and Bhavnagar districts after several villages and towns received sudden downpours on Tuesday.
The atmosphere changed all of a sudden and rain accompanied by gusty winds pounded villages of Savarkundla in Amreli and Jesar and Vallabhipur in Bhavnagar district.
While the wet spell provided the much-needed respite from sweltering heat, farmers became sanguine about good monsoon. However, mango and onion crops were damaged in some villages. Harvesting of these two crops has entered the last leg. tnn
