Good Morning Sir.

Are winters over for Mumbai/ Thane - western belt. Does the next WD expected around 19th likely to cool down the north and west or is a mild one affecting upper reaches only.

Can we expect any fall in max and min temp again after 20th or later.

Seems summers are likely to set early this year with delhi reaching 30deg this week itself...

Latest ENSO Wrap-Up issued 16 February 2016

The latest ENSO Wrap-Up and Climate Model Summary are now available on the Bureau's website.

El Niño slowly weakening
The 2015–16 El Niño continues its gradual decline. Sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean are cooling, and beneath the surface, cooler-than-average waters are advancing into the eastern Pacific. The atmosphere is also showing some signs of a declining El Niño. Trade winds are now the strongest they have been in nearly two years, though may weaken again briefly in the coming fortnight.

Based on the 26 El Niño events since 1900, around 50% have been followed by a neutral year, and 40% have been followed by La Niña. International climate models suggest neutral is most likely for the second half of the year. However, La Niña in 2016 cannot be ruled out, and a repeat El Niño appears unlikely. Historically, the breakdown of strong El Niño events often brings above average rainfall to some—but not all—parts of Australia in the first half of the year.

The Indian Ocean Dipole has little influence on Australian climate between December and April. However, Indian Ocean sea surface temperatures remain very warm across the majority of the basin which may provide extra moisture for rain systems across Australia. The southern hemisphere Indian Ocean remains at record warm levels, with January 2016 adding to the string of record warm months observed since mid-2015.

Ameya: A lot of questions asked....:-)
There will be an initial heating up before the Western Disturbance arrives over India. Full fledged precipitations from F-3 will be over Kashmir, HP, Uttarkahand, and also to less extent in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi and west UP.
So, next week, we see a drop in Mumbai temps from the rise this week. Drop may not be as low as recent, as the average base has risen by the weekend.

Zohair:. I expect gusty winds in SE Sindh, and Karachi due to the Low embedded in an pper air trough at around 5000-7000 feet off the Sindh coast in the Sea. So,the sea level pressure charts will show close isobars over the SE Sindh region, meaning windy conditions.The isobars 1012, 1014 and 1016 will run very close to each other. Close and near isobars means winds are strong.

Seems like places even in Chattisgarh and Odisha have a fair chance of reaching 40°C first.

Bhubaneshwar becomes the first city to enter highest temperature in india which is out of any entries received for the contest-

Yup. Bhubaneshwar was 5°C above normal at 36.8°C yesterday. No wonder nobody picked it up.

I do not have records prior to 1985...but after 1985, the earliest first 40c has been on 22nd Feb at Akola in 2006
