Rajesh, that's why I said earlier that you are an expert and I've learned a lot from your posts :)

Btw what is the diff. between a UAC and a low and the diff levels such as lower middle and upper tropospheric levels.

Is there any possibility of increase of rainfall in Pune? I m just missing the rains here in Pune. Dams are all empty...no water to drink

UAC is a circulation aloft, at an higher level,and a low is generally at sea level. Both are due to fall in comparitive pressure at respective levels.

Rohit, i think a total absence of any system or depression from the bay has kept the interiors short of rain. Not actually short in mm terms, but lesser rain days.

Hi Rajesh!
I know you must be knowing me. I forecast weather on METD WEATHER

Its pretty interesting to see rains lashing western coast including mumbai and deficient in interior.
Lack of LP in bay is a reason but I have put some other reasons also for it
Please check on my blog and let me know your thoughts on it

Thanks you for explaining abt the UAC Rajesh.

Just one more question. What is the monsoon axis that the IMD talks about and how can one see it on a weather chart?
