Great research article on hurricane research and thanks Abhijeet/team for sharing research...

El-nino impact on hurricanes.
In general, warm El Niño events are characterized by more tropical storms and hurricanes in the eastern Pacific and a decrease in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

But as of now we have twin hurricanes threatening US...from pacific side Hurricane Olivia and Atlantic side Hurricane Florence. This is like our Indian twin systems one from AS and other from Bay trying to dump massive torrentials across Central India,GUJ,RAJ,MAHA...

Interestingly we also have different el-nino flavor - 'El Niño Modoki' - sst are warmer in central pacific rather than eastern equatorial pacific.

Add to this we have super typhoon churning fast:
Super typhoon' Mangkhut set to hammer the Philippines
Total 3 covering major oceans
west pacific ocean Hurricane Olivia, Atlantic ocean hurricane Florence, east pacific ocean typhoon Mangkhut.

What impact will this have on SWM withdrawal and NEM onset (if any)?

Karnataka declares drought
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/rain-deficit-23-districts-of-karnataka-declared-drought-hit/articleshow/65803488.cms

Best states to receive uniform monsoon is Orissa, Maharashtra, MP, Chattisgadh...

Again sset giving one sided information only. As per TOI worst sufferer of monsoon this year is West and north india. In guj deficiency is as high as 27 pc as compared to south india where there's excess. Also reservoir position is much better in South. So SSet you are requested to not divert focus on rumours. Ideally guj should have declared drought but they are waiting for season to end unlike kar. Nowadays drought are more of political gimmicks rather than actual facts.
