After enjoying the clear visibility with blue sky and sunshine here in Badlapur, now weather turning misty & hazy and so visibility also got reduced and thunder heads are seen in NNW/ NE/ESE directions. So fingers are crossed and hoping for strengthing & building of Thunderstorm by evening ..

Now, from the far North to the far South, we are talking about a distance of almost 55 kms, and to the East another 55 kms. So, we are covering a big region. Thundery developments in these times are hit and miss. Like yesterday, the South was "hit' with 55 mms, and East was "hit" with around 60-70 mms, while the North was "miss" with lowest around 11 mms at vasia and Borivali. Now @ 3 pm, i see bigger developments in the North, with cloud tops reaching a height of 9 kms located north of Nalasopara. 6kms cloud height as yet in the East.
I think the "hits" will be in the North today....The "hits" should get around 40-50 mms and the "miss" around 15 mms. Today we may see very good developments also, but the intensity and rain rate will be marginally less, and in pockets or patches. But Vasai managed only 11 mms, so, for that region, it cannot be lower than yesterday.

Yesterday's rainfall: The rainfall in Mumbai South was 52 mms, and suburbs SCruz 37 mms. Mumbai avg was 45 mms for these 2 station.

Thane 48 mms, Kalyan 72 mms, Ulhasnagar 57 mms, Vasai 11mms and Panvel (unofficial ) 37 mms. Panvel till June end is 2189 mms.

Sky turning black here in Badlapur and thundering sound also coming from SE direction.. Now have to watching whether it coming towards Badlapur in NW direction or going straight to West over Matheran,Panvel belt..

junaid said...

Abhijit Modak said...

From max temp 32 C now temp down to 29 C. Now just Thick drops falling here in Badlapur.

First thunder heard here at Juhu, the breeze has picked up. Looks like the thunderstorm activity will start much early today as compared to yesterday.

emkay said...

no rains yet in New Panvel, cloudy and just heard first distant thunder !! ( 4 PM )

Abhijit Modak said...

What I was afraid of had happened same here . Thunderstorm from SE moved to SW of Badlapur. So moved in Matheran, Panvel line. Here just temporary SE breeze & 10mins thick droplets fallen. Now waiting for another system from NNE to arrive here.

agree with Rajesh, Panvel may be in miss region today with less precipitation expected. North side like Vasai may be in hit region.

junaid said...

Anonymous said...

atlast the front gust is visible of the thunderstorm cloud .quicker then i expected waiting for it to move ahead.wow that was really quick , here at vasai.its very dark at the moment.1036 agalde

Abhijit Modak said...

@ juniad. SE Thunderstorm fizzled out now. It produced just thick drops for Badlapur, Panvel belt. Now look out for N/NE Direction as new storm might came from there only.

Anonymous said...

abhijit hope badlapur also gets another thunderstorm , here at vasai and towards mumbai there is a well developed thunderstorm cloud which will start perfroming anytime from now on.it has turned very dark alll throughout the journey,. its looks magnificant to travel in a car in the hills , observing these clouds all the way from vasai to mumbai.and now the rains will be here any moment.

thanks preeti

again rains have started here at vasai .getting darker and thundering has increased.

looks like 50 mms rains forecast by rajesh for north of mumbai has gone flop.not even 10 mms.hmmmm

Abhijit Modak said...

Atleast Until now Badlapur, Panvel are in "miss" category ! Just 10mins thick drops drizzled noticed at 3.30pm from SE .. Still I m hoping that some more thundery system should developed as we can expect activity generating till late night period !

Anonymous said...

abhijit there will be thunderstorm later in the night , as the humidity is rising slowly.also i can see third time thunderclouds popping up from the east.

Anonymous said...

the sky is looking dark blue between the clouds and also some clouds got yellowish colour, thats a clear indication of more rains to come. fingers crossed.

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Anonymous. Yes I also seen that so still hoping activity generating by late night. BTW please mention your name in comment so that our conversation will easier with an identity..

looks like there will be no more thunderstorm today as the rains have stopped n sky has opened out . entire prediction was a big flop

Abhijit Modak said...

What a vagaries of weather !! First thunder system developed at 3pm in SE horizon produced 10mins thick drops drizzles and fizzled out.. Then at 4pm North horizon hosted 2nd thunderstorm but it was just stationery & produced dark & windy weather and fizzled out at 6.30pm . Now at 7pm East horizon producing an thunderstorm..

sset said...

satellite picture shows cloud covering increasing north - Mah,MP,Guj - this looks like progress of monsoon rather than withdrawl?
What is happening to south india? Banglore,Mysore.... still without rain?

Abhijit Modak said...

Finally medium showers in Badlapur from 7pm onwards.. Atleast something better than nothing !

junaid said...

@abhijit,panvel is still dry!!! Humidity has incresed a lott!! Can panvelkars expect any thunderstorm or rain later in the night like yesterday???

junaid said...

new panvel received medium intensity rains for 10 mnts

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Junaid. Might be ! As if now storm moved to Matheran now. If not fizzled out and moved west then Panvel chances increases..

Badlapur intensity reduced to drizzling now..

junaid said...

@abhijit its raining continuosly nowwid medium intensity

Abhijit Modak said...

@ Junaid. Yo.. It seems Badlapur & Panvel are on same track !! Only difference is Panvel west side of Matheran range and Badlapur to east side of Matheran range..

thunderstorm is instored for maharashtra and konkan including mumbai around late night or early morning hours.
