Posted Thursday Night:
Writing and updating this blog after 6 days:

There is a delay since the last posting, so we take a leap from last reporting into the current scenario:
1. The Monsoon axis has moved Southwards as expected after the 11th.
2. Refering to the last post, the Low formed in the Northern Bay as we mentioned and is now a Well Marked Low over the NW parts of M.P. Likely to move  Westwards. May not strengthen significantly.
3.  The west coast off shore trough is strengthening.

Heavy Rains expected next 2 days: Gujarat Region, Northern parts of Saurashtra . Rainfall around 150- 200 mms expected. 
Northern Maharshtra also will get heavy rains.
Cool days with showers expected in Nasik this weekend, around 10-20 mms per day.

Within July itself this is 2nd time.
GUJ will soon enter into excess zone with such extreme rains + flooding.

Cyclonic rain over Navi Mumbai.
Old timers (south India) may recall 10 years back Cauvery used to fill by June itself indicating bounty of nature and water used to flow to TN also, now entire monsoon it is DRY!
This indicated how climate has changed... entire monsoon is always dominated by MAHA,GUJ,Central India ... next 10 years what happens GOD knows?

Vinod -> For Cauvery to fill it has to rain in KAR Kodagu basin -> which is failing every passing year...Earlier we used to see regular 3 digit rains but it has vanished now.

Lakes supplying Mumbai filled 62 pc of capacity with next 200 days supply available in them

Sarvesh said...

Interesting observation, last year rain entered in Maharashtra from vidarbha region and this time it entered from south. The water storage in vidarbha region is half that of last year because rain, it is because rain entered from vidarbha last time which is not the case now.

sset said...

Actually 2016 MAHA had outstanding rains hence 2017 lakes will fill faster.

Agree with sset here. Tamilnadu, SI Karnataka are under grip of drought this year. Monsoon continues to be weak in these places. Rain shortfall in some of the important places are

Bangalore 57 58 50.43
Mandya 12 66 84.62

Less rains in Madikeri will have adverse impact on Keveri.
