Mumbai is sitting in company with the western ghats hill stations(and some west coastal towns) as far as rainfall is concerned ( 65-100 cms in a week of monsoons)..
But the point to be noted here is that it is a city of commerce , the busiest airport in South Asia and population around 2 crore people ..So ; the efforts of its citizens ,weather department officials , government officials and vagarians should be appreciated ..They keep this city buzzing and afloat every monsoon ..
Power , shops,mobile networks ,transportation , D2H are all running because of the efforts of the concerned officials/people .. Cheers to them as well..

Rajesh sir,
i have a query, as you have predicted that the rains will be 35mm in Mumbai as for today.but why IMD , skymet weather, bbc weather, these sites are still predicting heavy rains in Mumbai . Rain to be around 80-100mm.

Unknown said...

Rajesh sir,


If i am not mistaken i clearly remember during our monsoon watch series, you had clearly mentioned Mumbai will receive June month quota somewhat 700 mm ON THE 'DOT' SIR, WE HAVE RECEIVED 700 MM.

Rajesh sir,
It is nice to see your predictions coming true all the time. Thanks for the same.
I have a query on the remaining days of June and also July. US CPC has predicted Break monsoon due to WD coming coming up from across the border. They say lower rains in July... I read this in thehindubusinessline: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/industry-and-economy/agri-biz/monsoon-covers-entire-country-but-may-begin-to-weaken/article4820480.ece

I would like to know your views. Thanks again.

News coming from the far west of Nepal. Indo-Nepal border town Darchula on Nepali side and Dharchula on Indian side in danger of being swept away - also in danger is the hydropower plant at Dhauliganga on the indian side - they plan to open the floodgate there.

Heavy rains since past 1 hours or so in Mira road, North Mumbai...

Rajesh said...

Abdul: yes, some regions only, as i had mentioned. To another reader i said some chance at Nawabshah, maybe.

Nilesh: Not possible to give so many cities forecast, as each forecast takes a very long time to calculate. But will surely inform if something specific is coming..

Sam: your query answered in "flash snippet" Monday's rainfall amounts put :-)

Abhish: Difficult to give exact break monsoon date for July..but slowing down coming from 24th June for peninsula ..shall inform on blog later

Neeraj: Not BB-3 effect, itd the UAC i the North that has formed a trough..was expecting heavy rains in West Nepal anyway..keep us posted

Abhijit Modak said...

Rajesh sir - I think IMD has put wrong figures today - says colaba 210mm and Santa Cruz 150mm, probably they forgot decimal point, as a result both places are showing as 750mm in region weather report.

sset said...

or I am wrong?

sset said...

or it may be true - Abhiji stats show almost 200mms

SVT said...
