Posted Friday Night:

Saturday 26th :

A UAC formed in the North Bay off the Odisha/Bengal coast at 20N, is expected to persist, and slope SW with height.

Effectively, Gangatic W.Bengal may see heavy showers on Saturday. heavy falls may exceed 70 mms. 
Kolkata can expect cloudy weather and heavy falls on Saturday.

The Monsoon axis runs from Pakistan Punjab thru North Rajasthan thru North MP thru Jharkhand into the UAC.
So, we have isolated showers  along the axis. Nothing unusual or system type. NW and North India and Pakistan may see some showers. But we see nothing meaningful from any system. Showers will be in isolated pockets in Punjab and Haryana regions.
Showers of same type in Pak Punjab also.

West coast trough remains weak. All along West coast rains remain below normal and passing showers bring 20-30 mms.

Rainfall remains subdued in Southern Peninsula and Kerala.
The UAC in the Arabian Sea gets very weak and almost fizzles out by Saturday night. Some showers along the Sindh coast on Satursday.

Sunday 27th.

The UAC in the Bay persists. Rainfall continues in Gangatic West Bengal with possible spill over in adjoining Odisha.
West coast: Same as Saturday.

Sindh Pakistan: Rainfall decreases. North India/Pakistan and NW India: same as Saturday. Isolated showers, medium in some patches.

Saurashtra and Gujarat gets a break from heavy rains...nothing meaningful. Just 1-5 mms in places.

Mumbai: Saturday and Sunday: Partly cloudy skies with sunny periods. Passing showers. Rainfall around 20 mms/day.
Eastern Outer townships get sunny periods with passing showers, some heavy. showers will not be persistent and expected rainfall around 30 mms/day.
Pune: Partly cloudy with light rains in parts of city. Rains increasing from Wednesday next.

Re Published in Detail as required by readers:
Delhi NCR: Thunder shower expected on Sunday evening. Could precipitate 20-30 mms in parts.Thunder showers may spill into Monday morning. Tuesday and Wednesday NCR region, being in the axis path, will get the passing shower in patches . Meaning no system rains.
Punjab may get the slight increase in rains on Tuesday IF the impending WD effect slides down from North Pakistan to Indian Punjab.

Next week..28th - 1st August:

The current UAC in the North Bay will strengthen, and possibly descend to sea level by 29th July. This would effectively number it as BB-5. 
This would form by 29th July off the Odisha coast and track W/NW.
West coast rains pick up after Wednesday. Particularly heavy will be along the Karnataka coast.
Upper sindh and Punjab regions of Pakistan can get precipitation. Rainfall expected in many parts of Sindh and adjoining Punjab on Tuesday and Wednesday. Coastal and Southern Sindh will be almost dry.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In South coastal Gujarat, Bardoli 106 mms and Chorasiya and Palsana 68 mms.
All along expected lines...now what ?

As mentioned, rains are decreasing East of the system.
System will fade away around the North Gujarat area on Thursday. Rains for a day in North Gujarat and South Saurastra/ Gujarat.
 As the easterly upper winds from the fading system dominate and rush into the North Arabian Sea, another UAC forms on Thursday night in North Central Arabian Sea.
This was mentioned last week.

Mumbai will see a few retreating  showers from the system on Thursday before showing decreasing rains by evening on Friday.

Major Developments:

Monday 21st: The current UAC over Odisha (on Sunday) is expected to track Westwards . The upper air trough subsequently formed, will guide the UAC westwards, and as it tracks west, it may form a Line of Wind discontinuity within the trough on Monday 21st. IF this materialises, then very heavy rains can be expected in Eastern/Central MP...roughly covering the regions around Jabalpur and Bhopal. 
Anyway, good precipitation is expected on Monday in Central MP and parts of adjoining Vidharbh.

Tuesday 22nd: The system tracks westwards towards West MP/Gujarat and SE Rajasthan.
Would expect heavy rains in Central MP and Bhopal and Ujjain regions. North Maharshtra sees an increase in rains.

Basically, the overall map for Wednesday remains the same, except a few changes

1. Eastern parts of Gujarat gets heavy rains as the UAC moves NW. 

Surat : Wednesday will see clouded skies and frequent showers. Cool day, will see rainfall getting heavy by evening. Between Wednesday morning and Thursday morning, showers can accumulate up to 50-60 mms in Surat.

2. North Konkan will get heavier rains than the "purple" colour, maybe in the next   shade "Light Green".

Mumbai will get fairly frequent showers and heavy showers on Wednesday. Rains intensity decreasing afternoon/ evening. Showers will bring about 40 mms average rains in Mumbai.

Pune will see a nominal increase in showers on Wednesday. Afternoon Rain in parts of city will be a relief, and could measure around 10 mms on Wednesday. (3 mms on Tuesday)

Nagpur sees a reduction and decrease in rans on Wednesday.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainfall In Mumbai from 8.30 am to 8.30 pm IST Tuesday: Colaba 127 mms and Scruz 78 mms

Colaba season's total crosses the 1000 mm mark and is 1037 mms...NOW ABOVE NORMAL

Nagpur Lashed with 109 mms in 9 hrs from 8.30 am !! Wardha gets 85 mms and Amraoti 48 mms in the same period.

Konkan ranged between 119 mms at Colaba and 76 mms at Vagaries with Ratnagiri recording 74 mms and Alibag 57 mms. Rest were between 23 mm s(Scruz ) and 45 mms (Panjim). 

Reasoning and Answer to a query: Except for an unusual 119 mms at Colaba, we have seen between 20 mms and 50 mms at a majority of stations in Konkan and coastal Karnataka on Tuesday. 

The UAC from BB-3 has formed a UAC  in the gulf of Cambay. This was mentioned in Vagaries' Sunday blog. However, the  500 upper air level also sees a horizontal trough along the 20 N line (approximately)..

Mumbai Close Up Satellite..Monday Evening..Surrounded by Medium heavy rains...

BB-3 has weakened. The associated UAC at 500 hp is prominent over Central India and would run as a trough westwards next 12-18 hrs. UAC descends to 700 hp over Eastern MP/Chattisgarh...
More in post tonite

 BB-3 lies as a Low over Odisha and adjoining W.Bengal on Saturday evening. Upper air circulation extends upto 500 hp and tilts SW.The Low at sea level will rise to upper levels. Seems now that an upper air trough will form at 500/700 hp levels, instead of a UAC.
Upper air trough will run across from Odisha through MP till Gujarat.

Mumbai Monsoon Status with Lakes As on 12th July 2014...on Mumbai Page

Polar Vortex Returns to U.S. Mid West....from the Ohio Valley to the upper Mid-Atlantic..see International Page

Vagaries had kept the Monsoon hopes alive...and now sees things improving from this weekend...

Weekend Forecast and Current Position.....Posted 11th July.

BB-3 has formed, and is located off Odisha Coast. tilting SE with height and going into the 500 hp level. Major effect of precipitation in the Western segment of the Low.
System likely to move West, and remain as a UAC after Saturday Evening. The UAC will track Westwards across MP and move into the Gulf of Cambay on Monday 14th.

Saturday 12th: Very Heavy Precipitation in Telengana (Including Hyderabad), heavy rains in adjoining South Chattisgarh and Vidharbha. Good rains in Eastern Vidharbah and Nagpur and parts of N.I. Karnataka.
Heavy rains (> 80 mms) along Maharashtra Coastline and moderate rains ( 40-80 mms) along Karnataka and Kerala coast. Idukki region and mountains around can get heavy showers.
Light rains in Saurashtra.

Sunday 13th: Very Heavy rains in South MP, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada (including Aurangabad). Moderate rains along West Coast. Rains decreasing East of the UAC. Heavy showers in several parts of Odisha.
Gusty S/SE winds along the East Coast and strong SW winds off Maharashtra Coast.
Dry air which mved into North India and lay stable for the last 4 days, may see a shift now. The UAC ( BB-3) pressure creeps in the Central Indian region, and brings some moisture into the Gujarat, East rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana and West UP regions. as Upper air Easterly winds.


Monday 14th:  The UAC will possibly cross into the Gulf of Cambay. and merge into the off shore trough. It could soon remain as an UAC in the North Arabian Sea , off South Gujarat coast or North Konkan /South Gujarat coast.
Heavy rains in Gujarat region, South Gujarat ( Surat and Bharuch) and Saurashtra. Rains getting heavy in North Konkan.
Chances of rains increasing again in MP.
Rain again in Delhi NCR after Monday 14th.

Pakistan remains mainly dry and hot. Strong Northerly upper winds will keep the moistue away, and form a high pressure area over North Punjab and adjoining Extreme NW Pakistan.
No system or trough approaching Karachi to bring rains. Cloudy weather from the UAC may bring very light drizzles in the vicinity of the city this weekend. Nothing meaningful.

Mumbai: The current spell of rain shows a decrease in intensity from Saturday. The present trend of 100 mms per day will reduce to about 30 mms on Saturday and maybe 30-35 mms on Sunday.
If the UAC forms off the North Konkan coast on Monday, we could see an increase in rains again on Monday 14th.
Pune: Light to medium showers expected on the weekend with around 5-10 mms/day. Next week will also see showers in Pune.

Heavy rains in Hyderabad ( India) on Saturday.
Heavy Thunder showers in Nagpur this weekend.
Bangalore will see convective showers in the afternoon/evening this weekend.

No meaningfull rains inTN this weekend.
