I prop...Dear Rajesh and other weather enthusiasts,<br /><br />I propose that we should start working a private Open Source Weather prediction model for Indian monsoon, as the Government IMD has a pathetic record of predictions. Elsewhere in the world today weather predictions are quite accurate upto 5 days, and the IMD has all the best technology in the world. It is the people in IMD who are incompetent and unmotivated, but they are Indian Government servants and we citizens have no right to remove them from service on account of their incompetency. <br /><br />I am sure that within a few years, we can come with a credible model that can be relied upon. The country needs good weather forecasting. Let us do our bit. <br /><br />Vasant Joshinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-40987629408074090132012-08-28T22:33:39.828+05:302012-08-28T22:33:39.828+05:30panvel got 16.3 cm ,,,one of the toppers of konkan...panvel got 16.3 cm ,,,one of the toppers of konkan goa,,the day was also very cool yesterday!!!!junaidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-71374494069323732082012-08-28T19:55:38.021+05:302012-08-28T19:55:38.021+05:30All India rainfall CROSSES 600mm mark with today&#...All India rainfall CROSSES 600mm mark with today's tally of 9.4mm.

When I returned at 4.30 it was still raining although there was hardly any rainfall at Dombivili. Do you have Kalva figures till today evening?

Yaa sure sir will definitely see the derived weather analysis charts on IMD. <br /><br />By the way yesterday's off shore trough of west coast was more effective than previous ones of this year as rain data shows widespread rain activity across North Konkan stations as many stations have got rains above 100mm in past 24hrs.<br /><br />Also yesterday I have posted an comment of doubt, whether UAC forming off Mumbai coast in deep Arabian sea as off shore trough is tilting towards west i.e away from Mumbai in west direction. So whether that is the reason of Rain Devoiding Pune ? under post of "Its all happening in a hurry in Mumbai.. <br /><br />And today you also posted on latest blog that now UAC forming and moving away from Mumbai(North Konkan) coast towards Saurashtra !Abhijit Modakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08373516043657476859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-47300791961211805252012-08-28T16:10:59.342+05:302012-08-28T16:10:59.342+05:30ron: yes.

Explanation also in simple understandable language .Before finding VAGARIES I would just rely on IMD or on some international models but now VAGARIES is very perfect for understanding about forecasting and also for studying meteorology.<br /><br />Actually IMD has many resources like Satellite image, Doppler Radar products, NWP, MSLP charts, NWP models & NOAA/METOP profiles and so on but they do not do detailed study of it as per mine observations.
