Mumbai pressure low at 1002mb at 3pm

Rajesh said...

Hrishikesh: Mumbai pressure can further drop to 1000 mb tomorrow.

The formation of an off shore trough at sea level seems sure now. The trough i mentioned earlier. Now, it seems more likely, if the off shore trough forms, that the pulse from BB-1 can get embedded and form another Low, AS-1 in the Arabian Sea. As was explained earlier.A pulse will push in the inland region as the system turns NE.

Shitij: Will respond to you in comments. Not in MW.

Anand Agarwal: This system will bring rain to Kolkata, around Thursday, as it deviates from the current path towards NE.

BB-1 is tracking North at Depression strength.. Now BB-1 is E/SE off Chennai, at 11N and 81.5E , but will cross 13N and turn NE.

but the MJO is weakning sir, can a cyc form and intensify without MJO wave?

Mohsin mulla said...

Rajesh sir,
I think BB1 not become cyclone..track nort north east as deprission and may be land fall in mayanmar or south bangladesh.one more thing Sir bbc weather predict sw monsoon on last week of May in kerela..can AS-1 sluggish the strength of monsoon or it may boost the monsoon flow??ur view on both query.

Hrishikesh said...

Sir what's ur forecast on Mumbai

sset said...

What is reason for BB1 curve towards NE and not move inland?

Rajesh said...

Moshin/zohair: Vagaries has not mentioned of BB-1 becoming a cyclone. In fact initially it was mentioned it may weaken in the Bay.
AS-1 will not yet affect the Monsoon as the date is still around 15 days away for Kerala to get Monsoon. At the most delay for Kerala around 4th/5th June as given by Vagaries.

sset: I see the curving due to STR position and wind shear in Western segment resisting the track.

Hrishikesh: Waiting for a few days to see the arrival of the Low, but i see some rain end of this week in Mumbai
