@ Rajesh Sir. Thank you very much. Yes we in suburbs area on Mainland having consistent rain from Saturday evening till now. And really enjoying low level dark clouds and misty conditions around. Regular pics with date and time already on vagaries group on FB. Now today's Badlapur mine own measurement is 72mm at 8.30am . So now total 1898+72= 1970mm till 20/08/2012 today 8.30am period. Just 30mm short now of 2000mm rain mark .In that 10mm already measured from 8.30am till 11.30am today. So now just 20mm short of 2000mm mark. Now hoping for 20mm more today only so tomorrow might be touch to 2000mm mark then.

RK said...

Looks like rain is imminent in G.Noida...becoming darker and darker...

Arpit Sharma said...

Light to moderate rain in many parts of Ghaziabad.

sset said...

Bangalore again hot today - direct sun is like summer season. Karnataka facing 2nd year consequtive drought.

Vidharbha,Madhya Maharashtra excellent rains - Bharampuri 400mm in 2 days. Maha seasonal rain can turn out be excess-normal.

Myself still maintain same stand - respect nature (trees,lakes,mountains..) and nature will be kind to you. Else it will show no mercy - no matter what science and weather models say. We do understand your explainations but nature has its own secrets - no science can explain.

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Pavan. Thanks for the compliment dude. I really love the nature and surrounding mountains which starts at Badlapur and seen parellel to Mumbai- Pune Railway line upto Karjat or we can say right upto Lonavala. Many waterfalls & lush green atmosphere has made mini picnic spot attraction for Mumbai- Pune tourists. Some of famous places are Kondeshwar waterfall, Badlapur. Vangani waterfall, Jummapatti waterfall on Neral- Matheran mini train route, Bhivpuri rd waterfalls very famous in college going youths & zenith waterfall in Khopoli. So from Badlapur upto Karjat, Khopoli & Lonavala there are many nature attractions.
