City Forecasts for the Week:


Mumbai: S'Cruz, at 36c on Saturday, was the hottest in Asia for the day (with 7 other citeis also at 36c). Colaba recorded 34c on Saturday. Thats the yo-yoing I was mentioning ! 30c on Friday, 36c on Saturday, with the low at 18c, it was a range of 18c during the day. 


Would like to mention that vagaries had mentioned in the weekly forecast last Sunday -Quote " And Saturday 11th in particular, will be hot, at 34/35c, with East winds dominating."
and Quote again -  "Dryness will be felt as the humidity may drop to 25-30%." and Mumbai saw low humiditiy of 15-20 % on Thursday.

Rain for Kathmandu on Tues and Wed; on the way now? It will certainly be cold if it rains; just like the last week.

And one good thing is, the winter is not yet ending here , no heat and humidity as yet; at least for one more month.

Noticed certain views and comments very similar and coinciding with vagaries' are reflected in the TOI recently.
Maybe a coincidence, but creates a mature and professional image of your blog..Vagaries.

Rajeshbhai,
