Latest Pics from Mars on Space News Page...

Modak Sagar, one of the lakes supplying water to Mumbai has overflowed..See Mumbai Page for levels of individual lakes..and storage capacity..BTW, press now has reached Vagaries' figure of 238 days water availibility..

A good example below of Image showing perfect clouding along the Monsoon Axis Line..Image from IMD 4.00pm IST..west coast trough off Karnataka getting weak..


Rainfall expected along axis line Thursday..MP, East  Rajasthan and West UP...rains dragging to the west on the weekend.
Rains along coastal Karnataka and Kerala for one more day...
Detailed forecast for Weekend will be put up tonite (Thursday Night).

x------------------------------------x---------------------------------------x-------------------------------x-----------------x
This is the current situation. As it is late by the time i put up this post, and due to time constraint, i am not puting up a forecast now...shall put up next 2/3 days forecast by Thursday 12.30 pm IST.

Vagaries' has imposed the diagram over the IMD Satellite Image showing the Monsoon Axis. (Below)
The Elongated Low over Pakistan is the Seasonal Low...And the otehr lows seen in the axis are normal. 

Actually an axis is the joining line of such lows. Its NOT any system. 
(The "low pressure" mentioned hitherto in the IMD bulletins has never been announced in Vagaries, as, no chart, not even the IMD MSLP charts, show any such system. Vagaries has mentioned an UAC.)
Check the clouding along the axis. 

A trough runs from the Eastern end of the Axis along the east coast. A feeble trough runs South of the Karnataka coast.

Pradeep said...

Till now, no thunderstorm activity can be seen around 150 to 200 km vicinity which develops around the 3.00 pm mark

Around 5.00 pm we can have a clear picture. Its damm humid. There are more chances to rain in the suburbs than the city but not more than 10 mm.

No stopping of rains in Kollur in Karnataka, gets around 1000 mm in last 6 days
-------------------
This was supposed to be the weak phase of MJO for Southern Peninsula. The intensity of rains have been reduced in Maharashtra. However, in Karnataka and Kerala it has just started pouring. Not even IMD or other models predicted such heavy rains for these two states particularly Karnataka. One place, Kollur which along with Agumbe and Hulikal dominated rainfall in 2011 got heavy rainfall for past one week.

Kollur rainfall in mm in last 6 days

04.08.2012 - 115
05.08.2012 - 90
06.08.2012 - 190
07.08.2012 - 201
08.08.2012 -180
09.08.2012 -193

Only Kitwade, Amboli and Tamini have got more rainfall in August this year.
