See Mumbai Page for Regular Tuesday Update and lake levels as on Tuesday...
Rainfall around Mumbai in 24 hrs ended 8.30am Tuesday:
Palghar 422 mms, Dahanu 360 mms,Thane 190 mms, S'Cruz  185, Vasai 177 mms, Ulhasnagar 155 mms, Kalyan 138 mms, Panvel 93 mms, Colaba 90 mms, Vagaries (Mahalaxmi) 89 mms.

Lucky break for Marathwada, with stations getting between 40-60 mms. Sonpeth highest with 105 mms and Pathari got 100 mms.  
Pradeep's Page in Vagaries: All India Toppers as on 1st September....State wise Toppers ....see Current Weather Page Now !

As yet, Vagaries is not numbering the new low, meaning, i do not hold out too much from this.
But, on the other hand, vagaries had informed of an UAC over Saurashtra Monday evening. Surat and Bharuch getting rains from this system currently.

Very possible that this UAC can descend to sea level and form a low, south of the Saurashtra coast soon.
Holding hopes from this for coastal Sindh (Pakistan).

Mumbai Forecast for Tuesday:
Tuesday, cloudy and occasional showers. Brightning up later in the day. Rain amount will be less than half Monday's. Total day's rain, in showers, will be around 35-40 mms in 24 hrs. Rainfall decreases by evening.
Thane and Panvel neighbourhood will see some early heavy some occasional (not persisting) heavy showers. Total 24 hrs rain amount will be around 65-75 mms.

Mumbai Lakes  figures of Monday/Tuesday comparison will be up tomorrow.

Vagaries'  counter ticked 2500  hits  for the day today.( counter changes at mid night)..Thank You Readers..

Yesterday we all know Mumbai and surrounding 100kms area recorded heavy rains.
So Badlapur also got heavy rains but stopped after 5.30pm then there was drizzling in between.
Then from today early morning 3am again heavy rain started over Badlapur.

So overall Badlapur records 200mms rain in past 24hrs.(i.e from yesterday 8.30am to today 8.30am on 04-09-2012).

This is for first time for this season which noted 200mm mark in 24hrs period..
Previous highest in Badlapur was on 18 July 2012 with 170mm in 24hrs period and Badlapur railway station tracks flooded photos were putted on vagaries blog page also.

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Ron. yes, very heavy rain here. Now Local trains fully suspended till further notice by Central Railway authorities from Kalyan to Karjat & Kasara route due to signal failure and water logging at many spots.
All express train like Deccan Express & Pune- Indore express halted at many station.

Anonymous said...

Ron said...

returning back from dombivli now..are the harbour lines running at least?

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Ron. whether Dombivli having rains at moment ? Here in Badlapur continuous rains but varying from drizzles to sometime medium then some time heavy like this..

Harbour line are working I think as no news of that side. Only Kalyan- Badlapur & Bhiwandi & Thane district news are been flashed by Marathi news channel.

Rajesh said...

anonymous: lake levels not good ? with 3 lakes overflowing and 11 months storage ?

The bay low remains along Orissa North Ap coast.
The (hopeful) UAC over Gujarat also is steady. I am watching that for surprises !

emkay:sure my forecast remains.Upto now, its doing well in Mumbai, with a few showers and an occasional brightening up.Even a few heavy showers can be accommodated, as i still have a lot of "allowance" left, having estimated upto 40 mms -:))

Anonymous said...

but thane has already touched 75 mm and its raining heavily now

NT said...

11 months storage is very good news for Mumbai, this means that the water is set to last till next Monsoon, always a good situation to be in.

Rajeshbhai, your forecast has held very well for Andheri-Juhu area so far. No rains here since the last 2 hours, even before that the rain was mostly light / drizzle

Abhijit Modak said...

IMD was correct. 440mm of rain is just like a hit by a cyclonic storm- eye being on Tarapur,Boisar,Dhananu,Palghar- sceneric places. It is really great to see Mumbai stand tall year after year with such extreme rains. Infact coming years Maharashtra,Gujarat,MP will see such extreme events with Mumbai being hot spot. Mumbai has greatest nuclear setups (BARC) - which stood against all calamities - most beautiful colony Anushaktinager. With monsoon axis in central India and october predicted to be vigourous, myself doubt if NEM will ever occur - we may end up with only SWM - major falls for Maharashtra. Infact UAC in pipeline and low over Maha/Guj - collision we can predict extreme falls likely to happen. IMD has continues to maintain red alert. Maharashtra has received outstanding rains (konkan,madhya maha,vidar,marthwada).

Bangalore day after day worsening, hot september temperature-no rain in sight. Drought is worsening. Wish nature has mercy atleast some amount of rain to parched city. Pradeep has given good examples of worst least rain places (0mm) major places being from TamilNadu. Infact similar situation is now with worst 2012 drought -SriLanka - SWM has failed completely. I see correlation between droughts of TN,SriLanka, Rayalseemama, interior Karnataka (Bangalore,Mysore,Mandya,Kolar...). Bangalore remains a classic example of what happens if people defy nature.


I can imagine 1 day of Mumbai rain is enough to wipe out Bangalore from India map - worst Bangalore infrastructure.
