Nice encouraging message to me for our Vagaries received from Maximiliano Herrera (Thailand) ....the first part is ref to my correspondence with him for recent  Bilaspur reading...second part is what i refer to as encouraging...

Quote:-" Thanks. It seems it was dismissed , but I will be waiting for more information (also in the case it is dismissed if it was a temporaly problem or the station needs to be fixed or moved).

I see that thanks to your project Vagaries of the weather, many new Indian amateaurs are getting very skilled and they are a useful "tool" in overwatching Indian weather statistics and filling the gaps in the cases IMD might make a mistake or something.
Since you are the pioneer of the Vagaries, I think your contribution has been fundamental.
Now I am receiving many messages from Vagaries members exchanging information and ideas.
A big thank from the Meteorological Community for your relentless work.

Cheers"

My Reply to Him:-

"Thanks a lot for the kind words Max. Weather is a passion, and after starting Vagaries, we have around 400 members from India, Pakistan, Nepal and US. 
I am so happy that youngsters have taken a very keen interest in weather and studying the daily readings. The younger people are very alert, and immediately point out if something is different or out of Normal.
The younger members have become smarter than their teacher :-)
I also thank you Max for your constant support and help in correcting and updating our records. Your contribution to weather record keeping is amazing ! I still remember when, around 7/8 years back we both were tallying city by city records for many Indian Cities. We had our differences in figures, but that was for the good and proper checking.
Thanks for supporting vagaries and its young members (Vagarians as they are called).Wishing a long relationship between Max and Vagaries !
Rgards"

Nice to see such good correspondence from different parts of the World! Vagaries is a perfect platform for weather enthusiasts.

Talking about monsoon, it seems that Arabian Sea branch won't be deprived of moisture due to cyclone and hopefully a good onset likely but any chances of cyclone in Bay? Rajesh Sir your thoughts on this...

Congratulations sir. Your way of prediction make many youngsters interested in weather.

I traveled last weekend between Bangalore and chikamagalur(monsoon heartland of Karnataka). Whole region was lush green indicating good pre monsoon showers with less heat. Though, many water bodies were dry due to poor 2016 monsoon, but 2017 started well. And I hope 2017 will get really great monsoon to this region.
