Posted Tuesday 5th December Night:

The erstwhile "Ockhi" has almost dissipated and with a "bald" centre, is located at 19.1 N and 71.5E. Massive dry air encirclement and cold waters almost decayed the system within 12-18 hrs.Difficult without cloud imagery to get exact core pressure and wind speeds, but approximately average pressure should be 993 mb and 30-40 kmph winds.

As expected much earlier by Vagaries, dry air encirclement and cold waters with wind shear almost finished off the system.
Let us move to BB-19 now....
Dry day tomorrow for Gujarat and North Konkan. Day Temperatures rising in Gujarat.

Mumbai: The maximum rain spell is over. With not much rain now, Wednesday will be devoid of rains, and in fact bright.

Andheri received 29 mms of rain, dadar 28 mms, Goregaon 32 mms,

 Today, Scruz recorded 36 mms in the same 12 hrs period of time. Scruz also breaks its own December record which was 55.7 in 1967 and heaviest fall was 31.4 mms on 12 Dec 1967. Total this year in December is 58 mms till 8.30 pm 5th Dec.

Great Efforts Rajesh sir to keep mumbaikars posted and updated on the scenario-

sset said...

Mumbai Pune highway - heaven on earth -> dense forest,trees,hills/valleys,tunnels, waterfalls everywhere back in action! -> zero visibility.

BBC says heavy rains for Mumbai- bay is starting another low-> AS low will slam into GUJ/MAHA and with Bay low will this form a lethal combination? GUJ 2017 JUL / AUG floods?

sset said...

Navi Mumbai raining since yesterday.

sset said...

If NEM continues like this SE India will become India driest place (already in process)... while MAHA becomes wettest ... GUJ/RAJ already in processed of becoming more wet no more arid/desert areas all lakes...

sset said...

SAP / TN again bad news -> IMD says bay depression to give rains only to Orissa and NAP.. that means no rain for SE India and NEM period ends with deficient rains ....

Thanks Rajesh for your crisp but detailed updates through this surprise "NEM" monsoon in Mumbai. Kept us well informed of what to expect of some unusual weather conditions.

Maximum temp is very low, but when will minimum temp drop in Mumbai to the 'typical winter night temperatures'?

Rawat said...

Next WD seems to be strong enough to give rains in northern plains.Rain is necessity in Delhi now.Since formation of OCKHI AQI is severe to hazardous. Your thoughts on WD.

SVT said...

Prediction was around 30-40mm total rains for Mumbai. South Mumbai got over 100mm rains. Ockhi gave more rains to Mumbai than Gujarat.

NilaY Wankawala said...

sir wasn't it surprising south mumbai got more rains than north (western suburbs) ?

Abizer kachwala said...

Rajesh sir,it rained intermittently entire night in Nagothane and till 10am today rainfall continued.

Dattaraj said...

For people, who says TN got less rains this year.

http://www.imdchennai.gov.in/rdwr.pdf

Only 2-3 stations got 10% less rains in whole 2017. Where as many station got more than 10%.

Good point Mr. Joshi.
North East Monsoon monsoon on its own too has been fairly good. Percentage Deviation in rainfall from 1st October to 6th December.
TN +2
Rayalaseema + 28
SI Karnataka 0
Kerala -6
Coastal AP -45

So other than Coastal AP, it has been pretty good in all other subdivisions. The season is not over yet. The next bay low is expected to bring good rains to Coastal AP so that deficit will come down too.

People are also talking about Gujarat receiving a lot of rain in the October to December(To Date) period.
The reality.
Gujarat -52.

Yes that is negative 52 percent. All numbers are from IMD web site. Any one can verify.

Mr. Joshi, People's minds are made up so let us not confuse them with facts.

Good night.
