The Sub_Continent Expectations from Thursday 20th June till Sunday 23rd June:

1. An UAC forming around the Andaman Islands in the Bay will travel NW. Will, mostly, descend to sea level on Sunday 23rd, and BB-4 will be off the Orissa coast.
Another UAC forms off the TN coast, but merges in the trough (formed by the UAC) in the Bay.
Thursday Report: UAC forms over Bay located NW of Andaman Islands.

2.The west coast trough will persist as a weak trough.The Northern end of the trough is supported by an Upper Air trough in the Sea. Some spill over showers in Saurashtra. 
Possibly, a vortex may form for a couple of days off the Karnataka coast on the weekend.Heavy rains ( 40-100 mms) in Coastal Karnataka (weekend). Variable (10-40 mms) rainfall along rest of west coastline. Average/Below average rainfall in interior Mah.and Karnataka.

3. A weak low forms in the Arabian Sea off the Oman Coast on Thursday 19th. It imminently moves inland. Some light rains in Eastern Oman.
Thursday Report: Weak low moving inland into Southern Oman
The resultant SW winds into SE Sindh may bring light rains to SE Sindh region and corresponding coast. 

4.The Monsoon axis runs along the Himalayan foothills. Almost merging into Nepal on Friday.Heavy rains in Nepal. 
The extended eastern arm remains weak. Maybe just extending to Meghalaya by Saturday.Heavy rains in Northern Bangladesh and Meghalaya.
Almost dry and no meaningful rains in NW India and most of Pakistan. SWM remains stationary.

Rajeshbhai, what is the forecast for area around Kedarnath? My family is still stuck there close to Gaurikund awaiting to be rescued and everybody is now worried about what turn the weather will take. The last 2-3 days were rain free.

In any case due to low clouds and visibility the air operations from Dehradun have been suspended some time back.

LOOKS LIKE BB4 WILL STRENGTHEN THE WEST COAST TROUGH FROM 25TH TUESDAYS EVENING ONWARDS .

Nimish Thaker said...

AN APPEAL: Does any of the readers have any idea on whom / how to reach out / communicate in Phata, Uttarakhand? We have been informed today that 2 of my family members have been airlifted from Gaurikund and have been taken to Phata.

My calls to the Control Room at Rudraprayag have revealed that they may be taken to Rishikesh but no one is sure. I am not even sure if my family members are there at Phata or not.

While we are trying to find a way to get some info, I just thought to check if anyone on the blog may have some information that might help.

Nimish Thaker said...

All, we have been able to establish contact with my uncle at Guptkashi. We understand that all 9 members are safe but have been brought to different locations (Phata, Gocher and Guptkashi) by IAF.

Huge relief and celebrations in my family.

Abhijit, thanks a lot for your help in trying to reach out to as many people. Really Appreciate it.

Will get to know exactly what happened that night once they land back in Mumbai.

Nimish Thaker said...

Dear Rajeshbhai, Abhijit, Emkay, Sam and all the Vagarians, me and my family would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your wishes and all the help in regards to reaching out to people through FB and other Social Media.

Emkay, you are right, Social Media has a lot of utility especially in times when one looks at reaching out to as many people. We have seen examples of revolutions through the Social Media in recent times.

Once again, thank you to all of you.
