Started raining heavily in Parel since 5 PM again.

Sarvesh said...

Why there is so much difference between Vihar vs vaitarna that means we had little rain near kasara?

Now IMD has updated weather report- red color code = for extreme heavy falls over konkan. Next few days Orissa/Central India/GUJ will be in heavy news spells post bay low + MAHA already in extreme catg. But IMD says next 48hrs low forms over GUJ - so what implication on MUMBAI/MAHA???

Rajesh sir is this what we call a sympathy wave or sympathy low ?? Similar go what happened in somewhere July 2014 in mumbai?

KHYATI PANDIT said...

Sir if the low has became weak than what is causing heavy rain in Mumbai.is it due to bb1 effect

Shri said...

After 40 hours of pounding, rains finally take a break here in Mira Road,North Mumbai.

Shri said...

Rain break over...very heavy rains since past 20 minutes here in Mira Road, North Mumbai.

Rajesh said...

Khyati. . The UAC had become s low. Initially weak. It was a uac till now.

Sarvesh said...

Why rains not pouring in lakes?

Rajesh said...

As is seen from the Upper air flow of Friday, most rains are concentrated along North Konkan coast. Thats why i tried to explain with wind chart. There is very low rainfall inland. Will improve with BB-1 advancing and crossing coast.
A Low, or winds which rush along the same latitude as a system in the Bay, is called a sympathy low in the Arabian sea. The current Low is not in sympathy with the BB-1 system. It has formed from an upper air trough.

NilaY Wankawala said...

Thanks sir for clarification . I had been under impression this is sympathy low..

SVT said...

Started Pouring in Central Mumbai since 1 PM. Will the low off Gujarat coast move eastwards towards coast or westwards?
