Tyrone said...

Karachi received good rains today evening starting at 4 pm with good CB clouds. Was very very dark and overcast. Got a heavy fall of rain and lightening at about 9 pm which lasted for about half an hour in my area

GSB said...

Tyrone, hi.... what has been the deficit overall of rainfall in Pakistan this monsoon. We have a 9% deficit here as of today...

Neeraj said...

yes sir,
Kathmandu, Nepal is as of today, 7 September,has not had enough rains for this monsoon season. In figures: rain till now for June July Aug Sept = 921.6 mm. September Average = 186.9 mms. But to get to monsoon (JJAS)average of 1125 mms, we need to have 250 mms of rain for Sept, which would be 33% more than sept average. Is that possible Rajesh ji ?

Abhijit Modak said...

I am observing that even if the UAC over the Arabian Sea off the Sindh coast is weakening by Friday but from Saturday onwards the remnant of it may travel towards east and may even reach Mumbai by Monday..

Abhijit Modak said...

Yesterday Badlapur had sunny spells in intervals sometimes drizzles & sometimes brief medium to heavy spells.

So overall Badlapur records 25mms rain in past 24hrs.(i.e from yesterday 8.30am to today 8.30am on 07-09-2012).

Rajesh said...

abhijit: Sorry for late reply. Matheran total is 2963 mms till 6th

Arpit Sharma said...

Weather today here in Ghaziabad is bit cloudy and windy.Thunderstorms can be possible towards late afternoon/evening.

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Rajesh Sir. Thank you very much for Matheran rain data. And from today morning it's very windy here in Badlapur from SSE and at times from SE direction also. So now UAC completely active over NW Arabian Sea that is South of Karachi !

venkatesh said...

From morning bangalore looks cloudy.But no rain yet.

Hi Pradeep,
Seems like there were rain in some parts of TN and Karnataka.

Can you please share the rainfall figures for TN and Karnataka

Tyrone said...

Hi GSB,

Sorry for the late reply.

Pakistan so far has received 42.5 percent less rains than it receives since beginning of July during the monsoon every year.

Punjab is the main beneficiary of the nature’s blessings, as it has received more rains during the period under report and faces the deficit of only 29.4 percent followed by Balochistan facing 34.2 percent deficit and Khyber Pakhtoonkhaw 42 percent deficit while Sindh is the worst sufferer, which has received only 9mm rain so far and faces 91 percent shortfall,

sset said...

Bangalore day 7 sept no rain.

sset said...

IMD maintains heavy to very rains over Konkan,Gujarat. Gujarat sept received maximum excellent rains.

Vidarbha - all districts above 1000mm - excellent rains.

Still south - interior KAR,TN, Kerala (below normal). Long--long wait.

Rajan Alexander said...

Hi SSET. The rain Gods apparently heard your complaint. We had a short heavy showers around 7.30 pm

sset said...

Rajan Sir, HAL airport side no rain, this short drizzle is of no use for extreme drought city is facing. Atleast you can understand - 5-10 years back sept used to be rainest season- but now yourself can see the difference.

sset said...

As long UACs along Bay keep crossing orissa,MP,Maha,Guj/Raj - South cannot expect any rains - nor can withdrawl of SWM happen.

Remember by this time 2011 - monsoon was becoming weak.

GSB said...

Tyrone,

First at the outset let me say that it feels great to chat with someone from Pakistan.

The monsoon has played truant in Saurashtra & Kutch and the same seems to be affecting Sindh also.

I do not know if you get any NEM rains but I hope and pray that area that have received less rainfall in both our countries have a good september rainfall.

Hope to chat with you more often!!

GSB said...

This week has been great for covering the deficit during this monsoon. Yesterday (ending 8.30am 07-09-2012) was the fifth above normal rainfall day this week i.e all the days Mon to Fri were above normal days.

CI again took the lead yesterday with 81% above normal rains. Gujarat and Saushtra & Kutch got 253% and 262% above normal rainfall. 8 of the 10 subdivisions in CI received excess rainfall. CI is now just 3% below normal. E&NEI and NWI are lagging behind with 15% and 13% deficits.

We also have two subdivisions now in the excess category for the season -- W.MP and Lakshwadeep.

Rajesh said...

GSB: Glad you are interacting with Tyrone.He has patronised vagaries for more than 5 years now, but was "dull" last 2 months due to no rains in Sindh. Disappointed i guess.
Both of you are giving very good information to readers, Thanks.

Rajesh said...

GSB: Tyrone and many are also active on FB vagaries..i dont remember you having joined the group....ping me on mail please

Tyrone said...

Thanks GSB, its my pleasure and I would love to keep in touch too. Thanks to Rajesh I have learned so much on the weather. But still a long long long way to go :)

Rajesh is right I was disappointed and lost hope as we did not receive any rains this monsoon during july/Aug and almost lost all hope until Sep. I love the monsoons. We do get some NEM rains somewhere in Dec but that is also not much.

The monsoon season especially July 20 - end Aug (and of late Sept) are the only two months that we get meaningful rains and where I can get to watch and study the weather.

GSB, which city are you from. I am from Karachi.

Tyrone said...

Light rains have again started this morning at 10 am in Karachi.

Rajesh said...

Tyrone/GSB: Rains in winter for Karachi are mainly from WDs. Exceptionally, KHI may get rain from a system in the Arabian Sea.

Tyrone: Hope my estimate of reducing rains in KHI from Saturday goes wrong. Everybody needs rains -:)

Tyrone said...

Am hoping too Rajesh...:) So far its been raining since 10 am here and now it was quite heavy at times

Pavan said...

sset said...

Bangalore day 8 sept no rain.

Myself from Hindu newspaper managed to get information about rain measures in most places of south India. Some observations since june.

1. Interior Karnataka, AP has many places with rain < 100mm. Infact Marathwada (driest region of Maharashtra),Vidarbha has rain many time more than (avg 1000mm) Interior KAR,AP.

2. Bangalore,Mysore,Mandya,Bellary,Kolar and other places continue to remain dry - with rain since june,sept (suppose to rain - fails).

3. Amount of rains in Malnad has decreased considerably over years - Medikiri,Chikamaglur receiving less rains.

4. Other interesting fact is Kerala - once wet place has now strong negative standard deviation.

5. TN has many places with zero mm - only hope is ever mysterious NEM (if it happens).


Readers hold breadth till Rajesh sir opens palm scripts for NEM/withdrawl (Vedvyasa)

Rajesh said...

Tyrone: in fact, i have a complain, you did not contact me on way to Goa..lol.
The chart you have put up shows ....wait...All have seen the chart. So, i presume all the viewers have grasped it. i'll see if somebody can answer that.Otherwise i,ll put up the answer tonite.
abhijit: System generally will not travel eastwards. Only if an impending WD crosses the northern regions, a system can move NE.Normally it is NW or W or N. An eastward curve is rare, and indicates a Wd or a westerly wave.

Rajesh said...

Sorry, Tyrone's query was not put up.
I require an answer for this :
"Rajesh, in the attached chart what is the point over central india between the two lows marked like an x with arrows and also in the north east arabian sea?

What does it signify?

Thanks.
Chart is put up on inter active page


Tyrone said...

Thanks Rajesh.

Oh and btw when I went to Goa it was in 1979 and I didnt know you then :-)
