Posted @ 10.15 pm Wednesday..
And it has happened a day earlier than expected. A low has formed over Saurashtra at 1000 mb and is centred near Rajkot. This has brought down the active axis down South to Deesa (Gujarat) and runs west into BB6, now over MP and adjoining Vidharbha.
Vidharbha got very heavy rains (as per forecast), with Nagpur getting 133 mms and Amravati 113 mms overnight and 69 mms till 5.30pm today.
Rainfall earlier forecasted for Sindh (Pakistan) for Thursday has commenced on Wednesday itself.Thatta got 50 mms. Karachi got a good 35 mms, with several parts of city reporting good rains today (as per fb and blog reports).
Thursday: BB6 moves further westwards into Gujarat region, and,
a) either merges with the low over Gujarat or b) the Gujarat low moves westwards also.
Rainfall in Saurashtra and Gujarat region can continue eitherway.
Since rains have commenced in coastal Sindh and Karachi, it will continue on Thursday as systems move west. An inflow from the sea will push the rains into Sindh Northwards. Entire Sindh region will get moderate rains Thursday, with a few heavy falls in the South....
Mumbai forecast valid for Thursday as given:
"Thursday: Intermittent showers, frequented with long breaks continue. But, again, some heavy spells may add up the total to 30 mms."
Voyager 1 becomes the farthest interstellar spacecraft to have ever gone into space..as it leaves our Solar System...with very interesting images of Earth en-route...must see on Space News Page of Vagaries.

Bangalore 5th day of no september rains. Rain since june 250mm only.In fact it has rained only 2 days since june. As per norms withdrawl of SWM should start with sept from Rajisthan, but rains are becoming vigourous over central India - with fresh UACs in pipeline. All this implies worse for NEM. Satellite pic shows nil clouds over southern India.
Bauty of rains over Maharashtra - rains are evenly distributed over all regions (excess to normal - including Marathwada).
Does the forecast for Mumbai remain the same for Thursday as you have mentioned sir?
Someone please help sset get his brain examined. Look here: http://www.imd.gov.in/section/nhac/dynamic/Monsoon_frame.htm ; The deficit in Marathwada and Madhya Maharashtra is worse than NI and SI Karnataka.
What can make SSET happy
a) Entire India face drought
b) 365*24 hours rain in Bangalore
c) option a and b
d) nothing can make SSET happy
I do knw how we can make sset happy he makes us sad, "as in chemistry a reducing agent oxidises itself" sset u are a great weatherman even drought and rain listen to you in blore i am here in blore tonight no rains but feeling cooler than pune
its a very sad thing to see that this comment blog is no more interesting because of such comments are passed.i feel personnally everyone should leave sset all by himself just ignore him completely , which is the best solution to this so called headache.
Yesterday Badlapur had overcast conditions with rain spell in interval sometimes drizzles & sometimes brief medium to heavy spells.
So overall Badlapur records 26mms rain in past 24hrs.(i.e from yesterday 8.30am to today 8.30am on 06-09-2012).
@ Rajesh Sir. Whether another Low or UAC forming over NW Bay of Bengal around 9 to 12th September period !
just reached pune green drizzling lightly
and too cloudy, learnt rained in the morning
hope for good rain all throught the day
Abhijit: An UAC expected to form in Bay by Sat night/Sunday(8th/9th). Can descend to form a low next day, or may travel inland as an UAC.
To follow this, Abhijit, chase and follow the low over Laos and adjoing Thailand today. It may track along the axis.
Track an Easterly wave off the east coast by keepng a check on the trough which may form from this upcoming system.
shitij: we get your views on vagaries FB, but we want them here also.
How is the rain today (Thursday), we expect some rain today also. Surat got good rain last night.
