Himanshu: Not much rains for Saurashtra from this system. Rains upto East Gujarat region possible.

Wasim: I do not see any depression coming on Sunday. I would have mentioned it in this post.

Arjun: Mumbai will get some marginal increase this weekend, but not 50 -100 mms. Around 30 mms.

Rajesh sir... What is the reason for sudden stop in Mumbai monsoon? No rains since last 15 days. This year was a good forecast. What is the study saying about future period remaining? No offshore trough. This seems disappointing.

vinod/akshay: I do not see any major or meaningful improvement in Mumbai rains till 28th August...at least.expecting a small "spurt" on Sunday 21st..possibly.
Even with the systems BB-7 and BB-8, the monsoon axis remains far North in the western sector. Remember, i had mentioned of a "break monsoon" condition coming few days back.

Aks said...

I hope Mumbai and north Konkan has attest 500-700 mms rain left for the season from monsoon. Hoping for the situation to improve ASAP. 29 Aug onwards turnaround? Also currently monsoon trough is at anupgarh...
