Wednesday Morning: Bay Low crosses Land through W.Bengal, and located approximately centred over Kolkata...Note, the centre is always approximated for such weak lows.

Posted Tuesday 17th Night:

The so called off shore trough off the West Coast of India has become just the opposite....its become a ridge.
And now, with NW winds cause by the ridge, what do you expect but low rainfall along the coast...all stations along the coast will get little rainfall next 2 days.

Mumbai will be partly cloudy on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th. Some passing showers in parts of the city will keep the rain guage from getting absolutely dry. Should measure about 5-10 mms /day next 2 days. Nights will get warm again at 28c.

Pune will be partly cloudy and at around 33c. Light rains by evening in some parts.

The Low in Northern bay will cross into land on the Odisha/W.Bengal border.
Heavy thundershowers are likely next 2 days in W.Bengal and Sikkim. Odisha and adjoining Chattisgarh too will get heavy showers. 

SWM is likely to move into Bengal , Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, Sikkim  and Eastern Nepal by Thursday 19th.

Kolkata and Bhubaneshwar are likely to get thunder showers on Wednesday and Thursday, with heavy rains in Northern Odisha regions.

Chennai will be hot and sultry, with days around 38-39c. The trough in the Bay could "push" a thunder storm in the vicinity of Chennai on Wednesday /Thursday.

Some isolates thunder squalls likely in Northern regions of Pakistan and isolated dust storms in parts of Sindh.

Tuesday 17th June Morning observation: 
With UAC over Gujarat not persisting, Trough off the Maharashtra Coast seen weakening, flattening out, and just about surviving off Karnataka coast. But, a ridge seen off Kerala coast.
Thats the reason we see NW winds off Kerala coast today...

Mumbai may not get the momentum we expected, but will continue with passing showers on Tuesday, accumulating 20-25 mms by next morning.

Mumbai Rainfall till Tuesday Morning (24hrs preceding): Scruz 31.7 mms, Colaba 6.3 mms and Vagaries 9.5 mms.

Low in the Bay is now at 20N and on the East coast. A trough runs down from the Low, right thru the Bay Centre. e can expect good heavy precipitation in the trough, that is SW, South and Se of the Low....see in the chart.

I'm really having bad feeling about this months rains. So little it has rain last 2-3 days and forecast for next few days not looking good either. We will be lucky to go pass
June's normal rains.

Rajesh Sir - What are your views on Gujarat. It has seen excess rains for last 5 years and 2013 September extreme rains of 500mm - 400 - 300mm in 24 hrs for 7 days. Yesterday dump of 400mm in Junagadh.. But reverse happens over SE India - continuous drought and NE failure...This year NE failure will lead to catastrophe for AP/TN. 2014 SWM Augumbe recorded deficient of -500mm!!! infact no rain over South interior KAR... monsoon just zipped to GUJ...

rajesh sir will elnino affect kerala monsoon or will we recieve normal rains till september...

Rajesh said...

Prabhu Archana: I know you are worried about the current lull in the rains...but as i explained, a temporary ridge has formed off Kerala. I would expect a low rainfall in Kerala for another 4 days.Idukki rainfall is deficient as of now.
But, dont worry, the El Nino has not yet even formed. And even if it does it will be in September, earliest late August. It will not have major effect on Kerala.
will keep informed...

sset: Gujarat does go in for a battering frequently. Positined in such a way, that even UAC gives max rains...see video of vagaries meet for last years explanation..

Sir,
Would there be deficit rain for Pune and Madhya maharastra for month of June? As most of the rain for this region has been sucked up by the low in Arabian sea Right now in Pune there is no sign of rain at all. Do you foresee any rain in coming week or by end of this month in this region?

Thanks,
Atul
