Seems the SWM will withdraw from Saurashtra and North Gujarat by 26th September. By 30th Sept, it should withdraw fro rest of Gujarat, Haryana, Delhi and West MP.
Mumbai will have a Low rainfall week now, before the evening thunder showers from East start.

Morning Rajesh. Based on this, could we expect monsoon withdrawal from Mumbai and Maharashtra by early October ?

Can i ask you something Rajesh Sir,why is the wind direction in NW plains persistently SSE instead of being WNW? Isn't this unusual for north India?

Sunny and pleasant weather here in Mumbai today! A typical wintry day but the notorious October heat is going to start after the end of this super wet September for Bombay

ishan: The Monsoon axis is now shifting South (Seasonal). The axis runs from Southern Sindh thru the Low (BB-13) in Vidharbh. Now, as is known, the winds North of the axis remain SE, and SOuth of the axis are W/SW. That is as long as the SWM persists. Now, additionally, there is a North-South trough from UP thru Vidharbh and into Telangana. West of the trough, the winds are sharply SSE, and run thru the Delhi region. Its temporary for a few days and winds will be Southerly in Delhi for a couple of days.
NW winds will occur once SWM withdraws and the WD effect starts.

Latest ENSO Wrap-Up issued 27 September 2016

The latest ENSO Wrap-Up and Climate Model Summary are now available on the Bureau's website.
 
Strong negative Indian Ocean Dipole continues to dominate
A persistent and strong negative phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), combined with a La Niña-like pattern of warm seas around northern Australia, continue to be the major drivers of Australian climate. 

Temperatures in the central tropical Pacific Ocean continue to be below average, but remain El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) neutral. Most international climate models surveyed indicate the Pacific is likely to remain at ENSO neutral levels through to the end of 2016, though one international model suggests a La Niña late in the year is possible.

Some indications of atmospheric coupling have emerged in recent weeks. August was the first month to show persistent below-average cloud around the Date Line (typical of La Niña), and this pattern has continued during September. Likewise, the Southern Oscillation Index has exceeded La Niña thresholds for the past two weeks. Hence the ENSO Outlook remains at La Niña WATCH.

Warmer than normal sea surface temperatures to Australia's north and east, and the broader southwest Pacific Ocean, strengthened over the past fortnight and may be contributing to some La Niña-like impacts. Likewise, a very strong negative IOD persists in the Indian Ocean and is also increasing the likelihood of wet conditions over Australia. Models indicate the IOD will return to neutral levels by the end of spring. Spring in eastern Australia is typically wetter than average during a negative IOD (and La Niña).

Next update expected on 11 October 2016
