For Mumbai S'cruz...2021 now breaks the record for the fastest 2000 mm mark . Achieved on 22nd July 2021 in 52 days ! Total today 2001 mms !
The record for the fastest 2000 mms at Santa Cruz was in 1965, when it touched 2000 mms on 30th July, in 60 days. Followed by 2005 when the total was surpassed on 31st July, in 61 days.
July End Totals..Scruz 1965 ;2038 mms, 2005 :2019 mms..
Colaba, just for the records, has crossed 2000 mms by July 3 times. In 1886, 1907 and 1991. But, we are still way behind for this station to cross 2000 mms by July end.

Outlook for 21st & 22nd
Active west coast offshore trough will result in heavy rain over konkan and Goa regions. A low pressure area BB-6 (currently as a UAC over north Bay of Bengal) likely to descend to surface level near Odisha/West Bengal coast by 22nd. Likely to track NW.
This will further keep the rains active along the west coast and Ghats region due to strengthening pull effect westerlies from the Arabian Sea.
Due to these conditions, rain also likely to increase to moderate /heavy in Vidarbha and Telangana regions (from tonight and persisting till tomorrow) along with parts of Odisha and West Bengal.
Pune,, Kolhapur, Nashik, Satara: Light to moderate showers, cool breezy and pleasant weather.
Parts of Marathwada close to Telangana may see some light to moderate rain.
Coastal Karnataka, Karnataka ghats & Kerala likely to get increased rain.

Posted Sunday 18th Afternoon:
Unexpected Cloudburst in North Konkan and specially Mumbai on Saturday Night into Sunday.
Off shore trough activated due to vertical wind shear (surface winds are SW and 700 at N. CAPE is favourable.
Because of this, there was strong Thunderstorm formations along the coast.
North Konkan and South Gujarat coast "jump" the forecast and leap 1/2 days ahead ! This "jump" Good for the Lakes*.
The outlook remains as given earlier, (though advanced by Nature to show its "Vagaries'' to Vagarians) 😉
Good rains ahead for Mumbai and Lakes.
Overall Storage at 19.83 % ( 2020 this date 26.71% and 2019 was 50.78%.)
Saturday, July 17, 2021
Maharashtra Special:
Major parts of State in Excess or Normal category.
Extreme North Maharashtra (A few Districts) seeing some deficiency.
*Note: Although most of Maharashtra looks normal or excess, it does not reflect the water stock in the reservoirs. Most of the catchment areas (lakes/dams, river sources) being in the vicinity of western Ghats, due to less rain in the Ghat region, the water storage is low for western Maharashtra. Also, Vidarbha region average storage is 35% as of now.*
Outlook for next 5/6 days for all regions of Maharashtra ...till 22nd July:
Konkan: Good rainfall, with few heavy falls in all districts, will continue till 20th.... after 20th heavier rainfall and increase in intensity seen, with very heavy falls (after 20th) in Konkan.
The off shore trough will persist and remain active..extending rainfall into South Gujarat as well.
Mumbai: The current spell of the wavering rainfall (On suddenly heavy thunder showers/and sudden sunshine) will continue till 20th. Though some of the showers will be heavy. 35-60 mms/day average.
Increase in frequency and intensity after 19th/20th for the next 2/3 days at least. 40-90 mms/day possible, with 100+mm also likely in some areas of MMR.
This time, active offshore trough along west coast will lead to strengthening of westerly winds. So catchment areas in interior konkan as well as Western Ghats belt likely to receive heavy rain.
Madhya Maharashtra & Marathwada: No major let up in the current spells of rain. But increase seen in Southern Parts of Madhya Maharashtra (including Pune) and Marathwada after 20th July (increase for 2 days).
Vidharbha: Not much rainfall on weekend (17th/18th). But increasing after Monday 19th to moderately good intensity. Increase for 2 days.
Overall, increase from 20th..and the Excess & Normal will be maintained. Few deficient districts may remain in Northern Madhya Maharashtra.
Posted 17th July Afternoon:...Gujarat Special.
Rain Deficiency is high in Gujarat till date:
For the Next 5/6 days..Till 22nd July...Middle of Next weekSaurashtra :Not much improvement in meaningful rainfall to wipe out the deficit. There can be some moderate rainfall in Coastal Saurahtra (Helping the Porbundar Deficit).
Kutch: Very little rainfall seen in small patches of Kutch region. (Nalliya and Kandla Regions ).
South Gujarat Region: Surat /Valsad and the Coast will get moderate showers till 22nd on a daily basis = around 15-30 mms (Surat) and 25-45 mms (Valsad). Few heavy falls expected.
The off shore trough will persist and remain active..extending rainfall into South Gujarat.
Bharuch light to moderate showers daily around 10-15 mms/day and increase on 19th/20th/21st.
North Gujarat Region; Patchy rains in some pockets with no major rain amounts. Around 5-15 mms/day.
Overall, for Gujarat, good satisfactory rain in Coastal Gujarat Region, but deficiency may not be much reduced in rest this week.
Middle of week after 21st some increase seen.

Author's View:
Monsoon moves into Delhi.. 13th July.
Lot of debates attacking the IMD for not getting the North and NW India forecast correct.. This year.
All praise to IMD for correct forecast track of Cyclones, Depressions and severe weather. Then why the flak now ?
IMD is our National Agency.. and in charge of the total Region !
Today, can anyone predict anything, in any field? Doctors will give us a remedy, medicine. But if we ask the doctor, tell me how much fever will I have tomorrow at 12 o clock.. Can he tell us Exactly?
Nothing can be projected/predicted in finance, medical field or even an uncontrollable thing like a pandemic.
Monsoon is not in our control. Yes, there are computers, satellites and radars. But that observes/calculates, not manage.
Come on..
We are Meteorologists, not Magicians.
"Monsoon 2021 expected to move into Delhi by 11th July. Thunder Showers expected from 9th .
Monday, July 12, 2021

With AS 2 moving in a northwest direction, westerly winds from the Arabian Sea have strengthened over Mumbai and north konkan region along with the formation of offshore trough.
Heavy rain and thunder expected for Mumbai MMR on Tuesday & Wednesday along with entire konkan-Goa coast.
On Monday, Mumbai Colaba recorded 49 mms and Scruz 43 mms in the day.
