Rains encircling Mumbai....11.25 pm IST Saturday 6th June..

see Mumbai Page 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted 5th June
As mentioned in yesterday's post, South West Monsoon has advanced into Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu, with the Northern limit of Salem city getting 7 cms of rain.

In Kerala, the chief overnight rainfall amounts were:
Kudulu 77.2 mms
Hosdurg 55.0 mms
Vyttiri 54.0 mms
Thodupuzha 50.4 mms
Konni 40.0 mms & Punalur 38.4 mms
Trv AP 31.4 mms
In Lakshadweep, Agathi 52.6 mms and Mincoy 52.5 mms.

Monsoon likely to advance into Coastal and South Interior Karnataka and Southern AP in the next 2 days.


AS-1 prevails as a low in the Arabian Sea, at 11N and 67.6E and is expected to track N/NW next 24-36 hrs, and deepen from the current estimated core of 1002/1004 mb to 1000 mb. 
Currently in warm waters at 31c, after crossing 15N, it may run into competitively cooler waters at 29c, and then again NW into waters at 28c. Consequently, it may stagger at Well Marked Low or Depression Stage around North Arabian Sea and dissipate as a system by the 9th before hitting Land.

We see very low rainfall amounts for Goa (5 - 10 mms) this weekend. But as the Monsoon advances around 9th, we see a substantial increase in rains from Tuesday, and could accumulate 45-50 mms in 3 days from Tuesday.
Vagaries Goa page at www.vagaries.in updated to give details of pre monsoon rains on June 4

Hyderabad remains hot at 40c, but moderate /good thunder showers expected on Sunday night.


On Target date !!
Mumbai Received light pre monsoon rains in many areas on Friday 5th. Colaba and vagaries measured 1.2 mms. 
Saturday will be cloudy. Showers expected by afternoon evening. Many areas will get moderate thunder showers in the evening. Rainfall amount may be around 5-10 mms on Saturday. 
Sunday will be cloudy with some showers during the day. Evening may get some moderate rains with thunder. Rain amount maybe around 15-20 mms on Sunday.

Congrats on getting right both the Monsoon onset over Kerala and first rain over Mumbai so many days in advance. You are far better than IMD and so many other big weather websites. Deserve more recognition in mainstream media.
Will the rain in Mumbai to increase from Sunday onwards?

Arabian sea low will act as positive catalyst for Gujarat / Maharashtra - some of these places will receive unexpected heavy rains

Vijayanand said...

In April and May , bangalore recorded 44 cms of rain as against 18 cms normally. So we have almost got 45% of yearly rain in summer.

SVT: Thanks...Recognition and contributions from all of you Vagarians is good enough for me. Our team functions smoothly on mutual exchanges.

Rajesh said...

Since the system was embedded in the trough, sometimes it becomes difficult to exactly locate the central core. Vagaries mentioned it as a Low (AS-1) earlier, on the estimation of the convergence of the trough. And IMD announced it when the extreme point of trough formed an estimated circular formation...both would be correct. Current Low estimated at 12N and 67E..

Is there any rain hope for arround Kolkata Specially for Chandannagar Dist-hooghly?

Rawat said...

Sir , some weather models are showing Arabian sea low will give rains upto sindh in Pakistan and Rajasthan, sir your view . Will it effect seasonal low ?

Atul said...

Sir, When Pune can expect pre monsoon showers? On Friday morning there was drizzle.

naveen123 said...

The winds are not picking up .Advancement of monsoon rains into interiors of kerala have no much pace as of now.This may be due to the low in the arabian sea

Rajesh said...

Atul: Pune will get showers on almost daily basis, at least in the vicinity. Next week will see a total of about 50 mms cumulative.

Anoop: I dont think AS-1 will bring rains to Sindh.Seasonal Low will not be effected, but Arabian Sea winds will be disturbed.

Abhijit Banerjee: Sorry, no rains for Kolkata till 13th/14th atleast. Infact temperatures crossing 40c on 11th/12th.

Vinod Desai said...
