BB-10 has moved NW, and was positioned at 23N and 83E as on Wednesday night. Still at 994 mb, it has resulted in strong gusty NW winds in Vidharbh. The SW and W quadrant is still showing convection.

Storm "Trami" in the Pacific is now at 970 hpa strength, and just North of Taiwan. It has produced a strong trough in a SW direction, and has an embedded Low "pulse" at 998 mb and 107E and 20N, off Northern Vietnam Coast.. Keeping a track on this as it moves Westwards along the axis.

 Posted Wednesday Mid Day IST: Mid Day Report of Wednesday:

BB-10 moves NW and currently at 23.5N and 85E. At 994 mb, and entrenched in monsoon axis. Expected to track along axis. 
1. If tracks along axis and moves NW, may create a Break Monsoon " conditions in Peninsula.
2. If tracks West, possibly bring rains to MP and Central India. 
Next 12 hrs will determine course.
In any case, associated UAC will bring rains to SW and S of BB-10.
Westerly jet streams weaken in Sindh region, keeping hopes alive of light rains in SE Sindh and Coast.

First  step for NEM is the first withdrawal of SWM. So, countdown can start only when the SWM "obliges" to start withdrawing !

Rajeshji, there is hardly any rain in August in Madhya maharashtra around Pune region and I guess in other regions too. Is this the effect of Negative IOD finally coming into play? Would it rain in Aug and Sept? Or there will be another drought?

Vinod Desai said...

The way August month has been,I doubt if Mumbai can cross 3000 mm this year.

Abhijit Modak said...

Today for the first time after monsoon arrival , the whole Thane district tahsils is at 0mm ending 8.30am today !!

Unknown said...

Vasai has turned dry, hot and very humid.looks like thursday n friday should bring in some heavy showers

Rajesh said...

Abdul Jabbar: There may be some light rains in SE sindh and coast from associated UAC.

Abhish: Madhya Mah seems to have a dry spell due to the conditions of axis position and Depression. May continue , as system moves NW..but Northern regions may gwt rains.

Mohsin mulla said...

rajesh bhai,
monsoon in west coast including mumbai will peak once again in september for sure.. At the moment there is no system formed in north arabian sea or central arabian sea..off shore also weak in konkan coast..tells us your view on that...

sset said...

Abhish speak bit auspicious - TN,entire Rayalseema,SE interior KAR is yet to receive rain!! Negative IOD means no NEM?? MAHA is in most comfort position all places have received 90-95% rains. Vikhroli got good rains today.

I am sorry yet to read vageries 2012 withdrawl parameters - whole solution is available - need to understand.

sset said...

Again Rohits analysis proves. (a)Almost all places over RAJ (including west RAJ) have received more rains than South east Karnataka, Rayalseema, interior western Tamil Nadu. Interesting stuff is all these regions are close. (b) Western RAJ usually receives more rains in AUG/SEPT/OCT (gain more rain) (c)NEM is highly unpredictable and deficient. Whole thing again proves India driest and most arid zones is South India (above regions) - geography needs to be redefined.

Delhi rains may cross 1000mm this year?? BANG(320mm),MYS(150mm)(still stuck no rains in BANG/MYS).

Rajesh said...

Abhish: Interior regions will get rains again, and also in withdrawal stage with thunder showers.
IOD factor for monsoon performance is not proven. I feel it is very recent, and cannot be confirmed as "causation"...IOD has to be studied over several more years still...

Moshin: The west coast trough is weak now. But monsoon will revive to normal rains in september, and withdrawal stage will get heavy thunder showers next month.

sset: Blore as u say has received 320 mms, more than normal by 80 mms...quite good. In fact August normally is a drier month

SVT said...

This got to be one of the driest August ever for Mumbai. Hardly any heavy rain day except 2nd august. I wonder whats lowest rainfall for month of August.

Unknown said...

plenty moisture bearing clouds in the south east arabian sea

Rajesh said...

svt: Driest August was in 1943 with 83 mms at Colaba. and Scruz saw lowest rains for Aug in 1972 with 109 mms.
Tyronne and MZ: Lower speed and weakening of system mostly due to md level shear, and drier UTH in the west...
Pavan: Sorry, similar low rains for Pune...
