Even a coastal city like Mumbai was having too less humidity in the day yesterday but yet thundclouds moved in from the Ghats by night.emkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678383518576804084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-5853757042033931822010-11-15T10:32:18.086+05:302010-11-15T10:32:18.086+05:30I was at Kopargaon (very close to Shirdi, Ahmednag...I was at Kopargaon (very close to Shirdi, Ahmednagar District) over the weekend. Thunder, lightning and heavy rain started around 6 pm on Saturday, the rain lasting around 45 mins. Thunder and lightning however continued till 12 mid night with occassional very loud thunder. However, around 4 am on Sunday I witnessed one of the most intense storms that I have experienced. Extremely heavy rain (torrential) with ear splitting thunder and almost non-stop lightning. To say this was bizzare for this time of the year (and this time of the morning) would be an understatement. I don't have the rainfall figures but folks living there for 50 years told me they had not witnessed this kind of craziness in a long time.<br /><br />While driving back on Sunday from there, there was continuous CB build up from Nashik till Mumbai with falshes of lightning around Igatpuri at around 3 pm in the afternoon.<br /><br />Today's Gujarati paper carries an article on the front page about scary lightning and very heavyrain in Bhuj yesterday with lightning striking at 4 places in the town.<br /><br />Don't know what is causing this, could be UAC as Rajesh mentions, however find it very strange and almost counter-intuitive to believe that the remnants of JAL is causing all this may-hem in the western region of the country for the past so many daysNTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-6405145935078732782010-11-15T09:45:25.520+05:302010-11-15T09:45:25.520+05:30imagine thunderstorm at dawn this time of year i...imagine thunderstorm at dawn this time of year in panvel. continous dizzle from 0600 to 0830 hrs.emkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678383518576804084noreply@blogger.com
