Carbon Dioxide Snow is Falling on the Red Planet...See Space News Page on Vagaries

Yesterday's( Monday's) Forecast blog has been reproduced below with minor changes;

BB6 now over Upper Sindh as an UAC, embedded in the WD trough. So, as mentioned Monday, it has become stronger to an extent. Thick clouding is seen in the Southern quadrant in the impending (WD)trough. 
We also see a WD at sea level, also at 1000 mb. over the Kashmir region. With this system (WD) suddenly trooping eastwards in the Northern regions of Pakistan, with a distinct trough southwards from it. 
IMD Satellite image Super imposed by vagaries for easy reference.

                   


Yesterday's(Monday's) Blog stated: "But, by late Tuesday/Wednesday, the WD will pull the rain system along with it North-Eastwards. Due to the embedded low in the trough, there will be clouds drawing from the Arabian Sea towards the trough, and then pushing North-Eastwards into Kashmir, HP, Punjab, Haryana, North Rajasthan and Utteranchal by Wednesday". 
This happened on Tuesday, and has resulted in several thunderstorms in Karachi and interior Sindh on Tuesday.

Wednesday 12th: Some remaing moisture from Gujarat vortex that had formed today morning in the Gulf of Cambay (now disappeared), will still precipitate some rains in North Gujarat. Northern AP (Hyderabad) may get some rains.
As the rains diminish from Sindh, Northern regions of Pakistan including Punjab gets moderate rain. Rains push into Northern states of Kashmir, HP, Punjab and Haryana.

Delhi NCR may get some rains from evening/night.
Vidarbha and North AP, Konkan rains get weaker.

Thursday 13th: Monsoon axis moves Northwards.
Rains in Punjab,Haryana, Delhi NCR and HP.
Maharashtra will see isolated local rains in few places. No organised rainfall.

Nepal gets increasing rainfall from Thursday. Kathmandu may see more rainfall frequency from Thursday.

Thus, we see increasing rains in Delhi NCR on Wednesday evening and Thursday.
For the South, we wait for the trough to move closer to the coast.

Mumbai:
Wednesday: Partly cloudy/Sunny warm intervals in the day. A few passing showers, in different parts. Day temp will be around 30c. Rain Amount: 10-15 mms.
Thursday: Warm day, showers in the evening will total up to 10 mms.

Pune: Wednesday/Thursday: Cloudy with light drizzles. Rainfall upto 7-10 mms /day.

Surat
Wednesday/Thursday: cloudy with a few showers adding up to around 10 mms.

Right Rajesh, no one predicted such heavy rains for today. Looking forward to see what caused such heavy rains. Btw as per MCGM site in last 12 hrs, Kurla got 90 mm, Goregaon 80 mm, Dadar 48 mm, Colaba 46mm.

Abhijit Modak said...

I have noticed many times in past years that in whole World Indian Monsoon is very difficult for predicating !! And in that too West coast rains are more unpredictable !

Now take this year's example only..

No one predicated Pune will get 100mm rains on 31st July !

Then we all were blaming that IOD is negative, MJO is weak so not much rains for first 15days of August month but right from South Konkan tip to full Karnataka coast & North Kerala received very heavy rains from 1 Aug to 7th August period..

Mr. Pradeep already shared very Heavy rains figure of coastal Karnataka of August full week rain by saying From Drought to Flood situation..

Tuesday, August 07, 2012 Post on Vagaries saying "Massive Rains in Karnataka (Drought to Floods within 3 days)...From Pradeep "

Abhijit Modak said...

Yesterday Badlapur had heavy Rains with some thunder in Morning period till 11am. Then Just cloudy with sun out between and few spells in between.
Then from Today early morning 3am steady medium rains..


So overall Badlapur records 50mms rain in past 24hrs.(i.e from yesterday 8.30am to today 8.30am on 11-09-2012).

emkay said...

Rajesh, you have to make allowances for 1 or 2 failures in prediction every season :) This one is a specific case !! Love it when Nature laughs at us mere mortals !!

Still waiting for your analysis of the morning event. Things looking up by 10 AM though it seems on and off rains will continue.

Rajesh said...

emkay:I had predicted heavy rains for Mumbai in the Sunday 9th Evening post on Current weather (highlighted). But, yesterday i went back on it, so cannot claim credit for it..
Hope , after this spell, Tuesday Mumbai reverts to my forecast put up yesterday.. lol

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Rajesh Sir. Thank you very much for explanation of what happen and posting mine snap on Vagaries blog.

I was thinking for west coast trough strengthening from Kutch Coast till North Konkan so I made yesterday's predication on previous blog and did not see WD interfering so not taken for assumpution .

And now satellite image too showing Clouding has formed south of Karachi again over NW Arabian Sea off Sindh/Kutch coastal area..(may be BB6 clouding may have not come down) but new clouding formation has taken place.. And might be remain strong over Sea till Wednesday..

Also said adjoining Kutch & Saurashtra & Gujarat will get scattered rains till Friday so it will happen.

And also said North Konkan will get occasional rains in intervals till Friday ranging from 20mm to 70mm.. So staying on it.

Wednesday/Thursday might be getting less rain for North Konkan so set an frame ranging from 20mm to 70mm and so mentioned might be in intervals too..

Last week 6 out of 7 days were above normal and this week already 2 out of 2!! Let's keep our fingers crossed. Yesterday (ending 8.30am today) CI received 99% above normal rainfall and 8 of the 10 subdivisions received excess rains.

All India deficit stands maintained at 8%.

Abhijit Modak said...

Today(11-09-2012) ending 8.30am, IMD's and Dept of Agriculture, Maharashtra Rainfall data is varying a lot !

Kalyan 90 & 32
Ulhasnagar 90 & 33
Matheran 90

Seeing for first time variations in Rainfall data of IMD's and Dept of Agriculture, Maharashtra !

sset said...

Bangalore day 11 sep NO RAIN - VERY HOT.

Bangalore call for desrtification was predicted 5years back. Sad part is Bangalore weather division,IISC,ISRO.. and others have not reacted to this. If next year this continues then IT itself will vanish...no water.


Myself feel NEM currents over past few years are becoming weak - negligible rains over interior KAR.

Rajisthan/Kutch/Gujarat has below normal 2012 summmer temperatures but have received excellent SWM rains.

Anonymous said...

no doubt bangalore is going towards desertification , i m excited to see our new indian desert .wow.

Anonymous said...

Super excited - A desert in Southern India. Wow. Look forward to it. Hope it happens very soon.

Rajesh said...

abhijit:there are always "way out" differences in the readings withe IMD and agri or dist rainfall guages...needs a lot of explanation.
But, with experiance, when you find a difference, take IMD as correct...

Anonymous said...

since sset have come on this blog i can only hear from him is abt bangalore is turning into a desert, so let it happen as soon as possible we want to see bangalore turn into a complete arid desert, with no greenery anywhere.

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Rajesh Sir. I am observing Rainfall data of IMD & Agri both since June, both of them rain data would be same everyday.. only yesterday I noticed variation so raised an doubt!

And as per latest satellite of today morning still which I predicated that clouding will seen in Lower SE Sindh/Kutch border till Wednesday and current image also showing clouding off Sindh/Kutch border in NW Arabian Sea. So scattered Rain/Thundershowers will continue n Kutch, Suarashtra & Gujarat region till Friday.

Anonymous said...

seriously we must speak to the bangalore karnatak goverment , to change entire bangalore into a forest , may be then sset will be happy, if not turn into a desert.this will certainly make him happy. but plz do something.or throw him out bangalore.the best option.

Abhijit Modak said...

Yesterday Badlapur had Medium Rain in Morning period till 11am. Then Just overcast with light drizzles to drops till evening and night had some open sky with stars were visible then today early morning some drizzles noted.

Absolutely blue sky here in ghaziabad.Lets wait for the evening and see what happens.

Rajesh said...

Tyrone: Thanks for the rainfall figures.
Interpreting a WD from a chart need reading the trough with practice and individual judgement trhu years of charting and explanations.
anyway, now you may see the trough and WD aloft on these 2 sites at least. Different charts and maps of various models vary on the same date and time...we have to interpret it thru own reading and knowledge of your regional weather...
