Rajesh Sir when we will get MUMBAI monsoon rain

Vinod Desai said...

Sir,

Can we term current monsoon as the most delayed monsoon ever for mumbai.

Regards,
Vinod

NilaY Wankawala said...

No Vinod I dont think so , Rajesh sir and other main contributors are the right persons to clarify but i dont think this is the most delayed yet even unofficially

Officialy IMD has already declared onset of Monsoon over Mumbai :-)

Rajesh said...

Vinod/Nilay:

"Most Delayed Monsoon for Mumbai: June 25th 1959

IMD has declared Monsoon over Mumbai on 12th June ...

RD said...

Weatherman, in your opinion are there chances of a monsoon revival in Mumbai or this going to be (another)dry year for Mumbaikars?If Yes, when can we expect a monsoon revival in and around Mumbai region?If no, what are the factors leading to the current dry spell in Mumbai?

Ashish Gupta said...

Rajesh Sir, overall I feel the monsoon behaviour in general has become more and more erratic over the last 10 years. Do you agree? And is it true that there 30 year epochs of low rainfall followed by 30 year epochs of high rainfall?

Rajesh said...

Ashish Gupta:

I do not think or see erratic behavior, or any major erratic behavior in the Monsoon pattern. The ups and downs, and highs and lows occur, that is why and how records are created. Memory is short, and these late dates have been and have occurred before also.
refer the Vagaries Extreme blog. Mumbai rainfall records.

RD: Please give your full name. I have mentioned all the reasons , and have been mentioning the cause of delay in blog. In simple terms and not in details. On revival, I have given my view in this very article. As for if it is going to be another dry year, I am not competent enough to forecast such long term estimates.

Nilay comments: Thanks for the early reply.

Unfortunately, Friday is more brighter than Thursday in Goregaon area. Hope the scenario changes and monsoon rains (typical Mumbai rains) lash the city as early as possible. Monsoon is stuck on West Coast of INdia for more than 10 days now. When is it likely to move further North towards Gujarat?
