Even today morning (Sunday), the clouds are moving east-to-west. <br />On proper onset, the clouds ,as we know, will rush in from the west or south west. Just a hint.<br />Meanwhile,let Vagaries remain simple and easyRajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511057956916968156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-57006065469315169112011-06-04T23:46:32.640+05:302011-06-04T23:46:32.640+05:30@NT, Evening thundershowers was forecasted for fri...@NT, Evening thundershowers was forecasted for fridaysaturday, so it was ok. yes, quantum was 22 and 72, against a generalised 20 mm put up by me.

It rained around 22 mms in Colaba and as per a reader not much in Borivali (northern suburbs). While it did rain a lot in Andheri - Santacruz area that could have been due to a localized cloud. Overall I agree to your forecasts, average rain was around 40 mms. What surprises me Rajesh is the quantum of convection, as mentioned yesterday too in my comments, I was a bit surprised to see -70 degree cloud tops over Mumbai.NTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-51073797323696512022011-06-04T23:18:16.710+05:302011-06-04T23:18:16.710+05:30@NT.

Also, completely from a common man's view on the street without getting into any complex technicalities of the weather, the SWM is here in Mumbai, since what finally matters is what is the weather that is experienced on the ground. Looking at the rain data given by Rajesh in his latest blog for Santacruz - 72 mms i.e. 3 Inches and looking at the Mumbai Met's data for the rain yesterday, Santacruz has already logged around 4.5 inches of rain and there is more to come.NTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-27368634729811892182011-06-04T21:23:22.249+05:302011-06-04T21:23:22.249+05:30borivali (west) has only received light to moderat...borivali (west) has only received light to moderate rain and light thunder till now.
