Report posted on Tuesday, 10th:

On Wednesday11th:
The UAC enters the Arabian Sea via Konkan, and can strengthen the West Coast trough (for a couple of days)...
On Wednesday 11th September:

The UAC enters the Arabian Sea in the South Konkan region. Thus, the west coast trough gets activated. 
Another East-West trough at 925 mb level and 850 mb levels, runs from North TN coast to Central Bay.
Thunder showers will occur in Konkan, Madhya Maharshtra, N.I.Karnataka and Northern TamilNadu.
Orissa and Kolkata can get thunder showers on Wednesday.
Regions to watch out for heavy rains: Entire Madhya Maharashtra belt (Nasik-Pune-Kolhapur-Sangli), adjoining N.I.Karnataka, Goa and parts of North TN.

Mumbai: Light showers in some parts early morning. NE winds in the day. By evening, Thunder showers, heavy in some parts. Outer townships will develop thunder storms by evening.
Since these thunder showers are generally localised and in concentarated areas, rainfall amounts will vary upto 30 mms. More in outer townships.

Pune: Thunder showers in many parts of city and surrounding regions. Many areas will get upto 25-30 mms of rain.

Chennai: Thunder showers in some parts of the city and outer regions. Rains may increase from night. Upto 20-25 mms (avg) expected by Thursday morning.

Delhi NCR: As the axis goes South, Easterly winds will prevail over the region. Some moisture may bring a few showers in some pockets in NCR.

Thursday 12th/Friday 13th: SWM may withdraw from some more parts of Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan.
The monsoon axis slides southwards towards the Central India region. With the high pressure at 850 mb, and reducing UTH, it becomes favourable for the SWM to withdraw from regions in Northern and NW India on Thursday.

An UAC/low pressure may form of the North AP coast. This would be embedded in the trough mentioned in the Wednesday narration.

Thunder showers continue on Thursday in Madhya Mah/Goa and int North Karnataka, but on a reduced scale. Konkan will get thunder showers.

Mumbai: Cloudy day, and thunder showers by evening in many parts of city. Decreasing thunder shower intensity in outer townships.

Pune: Thursday will also see showers in some areas, but chances of showers on Friday are less.

Chennai: Thunder showers in many parts , and rainfall amounts increasing over Wednesday . On Thursday, it will be cloudy and daytime showers will keep the day temperature lower. Rain amount will be around 35 mms by Friday morning. Friday some showers again, but rains reducing by night.

The Mumbai radar shows all 'red' in the precipitation view indicating intense amounts of rainfalls occurring in pockets around Mumbai. Considering the large drop in pressure, Mumbai could be in for a whooper of a Storm tonight

Thunderstorm lashing parts of Goa. Beginning 2 pm. Almost an hour into it now at Margao, with no let up. Bit unusual this time of the year. Mostly occurs in October!

Torrential Thunderstorm Rain lashing Badlapur. 1 huge lightening strike (grounded) just 300 metre away from mine home . Mine ear still buzzing !!

Dattaraj said...

I think this year SW monsoon will withdraw 15 days early and NE too will set in early. Wind direction, kind of weather appears like that in mid Oct.

Unknown said...

Thunderclouds have started gathering in Vasai.mild thundering could be heard from far

Unknown said...

Thundering is getting louder and frequent in Vasai, also getting darker n darker

Nimish Thaker said...

Just checked the Mumbai Radar, I noticed that one large cloud is appearing to have gone higher than 18 KM!! This is between Dahanu and Nashik. The rain dashboard shows complete 'Red' in that region, I am guessing it must be quite a storm there.

Abhijit Modak said...

Heavy rain started in Badlapur from NE with lighting & thundering.

Rajesh said...

yes guys, its October type weather like you mention...but its the SWM withdrawal process, and as you have seen in vagaries, the SWm has started withdrawal from NW.
It may be a bit early, but should be around 25th september for complete withdrawal for Mumbai and Maharshtra.
I am just keeping a watch on the possible formation of a low in the Arabian Sea around 22nd Sept..
