Posted Tuesday Night:
Basically, the overall map for Wednesday remains the same, except a few changes

1. Eastern parts of Gujarat gets heavy rains as the UAC moves NW. 
Surat : Wednesday will see clouded skies and frequent showers. Cool day, will see rainfall getting heavy by evening. Between Wednesday morning and Thursday morning, showers can accumulate up to 50-60 mms in Surat.

2. North Konkan will get heavier rains than the "purple" colour, maybe in the next   shade "Light Green".
Mumbai will get fairly frequent showers and heavy showers on Wednesday. Rains intensity decreasing afternoon/ evening. Showers will bring about 40 mms average rains in Mumbai.
Pune will see a nominal increase in showers on Wednesday. Afternoon Rain in parts of city will be a relief, and could measure around 10 mms on Wednesday. (3 mms on Tuesday)
Nagpur sees a reduction and decrease in rans on Wednesday.

3. Afternoon/evening showers in MP and Odisha on Wednesday from the residual moisture.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rainfall In Mumbai from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm IST Tuesday: Colaba 127 mms and Scruz 78 mms
Colaba season's total crosses the 1000 mm mark and is 1037 mms...NOW ABOVE NORMAL

Nagpur Lashed with 109 mms in 9 hrs from 8.30 am !! Wardha gets 85 mms and Amraoti 48 mms in the same period.
Konkan ranged between 119 mms at Colaba and 76 mms at Vagaries with Ratnagiri recording 74 mms and Alibag 57 mms. Rest were between 23 mm s(Scruz ) and 45 mms (Panjim). 

Reasoning and Answer to a query: Except for an unusual 119 mms at Colaba, we have seen between 20 mms and 50 mms at a majority of stations in Konkan and coastal Karnataka on Tuesday. 

The UAC from BB-3 has formed a UAC  in the gulf of Cambay. This was mentioned in Vagaries' Sunday blog. However, the  500 upper air level also sees a horizontal trough along the 20 N line (approximately)..

Hi Rajesh,

Is there any hope for Pune ? The rain shortfall is almost 80% . I suppose August and September should give some rains to evade drinking water crisis .

Ananth

The Mumbai Doppler Radar continues to be stuck in time at 22:22 on July 14. The Doppler mysteriously is unavailable when it rains the most in the city.

SVT said...

It could be wettest July in Colaba if BB4 will dumps more rains next week.

anant said...

Thank you for the update.

It drizzled a bit in Pune in the morning, reports suggest rains are still marginal in the Ghats and dam catchment area.

Is monsoon pull effect still weak for the rains to descend into the ghats ?

Regards, Ananth
