rajesh sir will the monsoon hit kerala before 2nd

Rajesh said...

naveen: see map provided with monsoon advance given on saturday map

sset said...

Navi Mumbai also received early morning rains.

By the way- did monsoon ever reach SriLanka? Since MAY month did not see any clouds, trajectory just hit south India coast rapidly making its way up? It seems Bay side is more prominent - actually WB,Orissa,Bihar,UP are getting rains much ahead SWM date for these areas.

Rajesh said...

sset: Monsoon advancing into Maldives..should also reach Sri Lanka in a day, or with Kerala..

Vijayanand said...

Nice rain in bangalore last evening. Bangalore city recorded 31 mm. In south bangalore it was not heavy rain. But it was light rain, with low clouds zipping from west to east. It went on for about an hour from 9.00 pm.

Vijayanand said...

Climate in bangalore for the last 3 days is awesome. Temp around 31. Its cloudy with good breeze blowing in from west.

Unknown said...

A fake forecast from Indian Meteriological department , which as usual 90% never comes true, are now saying that monsoon will hit kerela a day early . previously they said, it will hit on 3rd June , then 2nd june now 1st june. I tell you they r not forecaster's but jokers, who don't know anything and their forecast is a big flop.

Unknown said...

Monsoon has already entered southern tip of kerela

Unknown said...

Sorry. for the error, the monsoon is now set to enter kerela.without any further changes as predicted by Rajesh sir last forecast.

Abhish said...

Hi Rajesh sir, A Japanese climate agency - Research Institute for Global Climate has forecast a Negative IOD event till autumn. Says Indian monsoon will be badly affected. What are your views? Will India again suffer this year? I am hoping not...

Amit Tare said...

Thanks for the Nagpur update. Eagerly looking forward to rains with so much heat.....
Amit

Unknown said...

Rajesh sir looking at the current , winds picking up in the Arabian sea in a 'SW DIRECTION' I feel that it's very unlikey that a negative IOD will have its effect on SW monsoon.

Rajesh said...

Abhish/Sam: An IOD effect on our monsoon is still to be established. It is a relatively new find, and the effect of the IOD on SWM is still to be proved after about 15 years of average or so.
I do not consider IOD as an important factor for analysing Monsoon rain quantum.

Rajesh said...

As given on Mumbai page, I expect a real good thundershower in Mumbai and surroundings on Wednesday, 5th June...

The clouding from the SW winds are seen in the mid arabian seas

Unknown said...

rajesh sir thanks for your promt reply,At last the day is getting closer and closer , but sir is it likely that we can get shower on Monday too ?

Rajesh said...
