Axis remains in the northern most position till 18 07 2015 ... till 18 I guess wait continues for Maharashtra

Atul said...

Sir, do you see recovery for maharashtra in last 10 days of July or will it end in deficit?

Nilesh Ladhad said...

What about Gujarat, Sir?

Unknown said...

Sir, gujarat and maharashtra eagerly waiting for rain....any guess about when will conditions can start to improve? ???

Very nice presentation sir appreciate your efforts in compiling and presenting the information. ..map with red colour in the areas like Konkan Goa Maharashtra coast was something unusual Normally such areas I have seen with blue or green ...Thanks to defeciency in rains in these regions painted red all the way..hoping Red turns to green or blue sooner :-)

@ Nilay. True. Pathetic situations in Konkan with paddy crops and no recharge water for Dam also along base of ghats.

But only SSET might be happy with this red paint on west coast as he always feels jealous to see coast on excess and concerns is raised only when Kar and TN is in red.

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Nilay. Yes. In 2002 & 2009 coastal may have see the much lesser but ghat were performing upto some extent at least was not like current year.

Gaurav: Rains now almost nil in Gujrat. Seeing incease, though not much, around 5-10 mms in many places in Saurashtra per day. But further increase after 22nd in North Gujarat specially.

NilaY Wankawala said...

Brought some cheer on my face as I read sir's post for Konkan . Desperately awaiting ...

Abhijit Modak said...

SSET : How can you use word bonus rain when first half of July rain is in 95% deficit of July avg for N. Konkan!! So first scanty, deficit category has overcome..

Rajesh said...

As East Coast off shore trough starts weakening from 17th...West coast trough gets a chance...good prospects for Konkan from 18th

27th March...Heat Wave Persists in Maharashtra & Gujarat Due to early on set of Westerly Sea breeze, the Konkan Region was spared from t...
