Posted Tuesday Evening:

BB-8 , which formed in the Bay, now lies as a Well Marked Low ( 996 mb) entrenched in a small East West trough (998mb)  around North Maharashtra/Adjoining MP.

Heavy rains expected in Western parts of Saurashtra and Kutch and parts of Coastal Sindh from Wednesday.

Posted Sunday Night:

Posted Sunday 27th Evening:

As mentioned, the "pulse" from the system BB-8 (Low) has travelled West, and is embedded in an elongated trough (East-West) from South M.P. to Eastern parts of Gujarat. This is the region we see heavy rainfall occurring. Heavy rainfall and thunder showers in South MP and Eastern Gujarat regions.
The Pulse will move West in 24 hrs...Seems could move towards Mumbai/South Gujarat...next update on Sunday night 11.30 pm IST.

The Moon's Shadow on the Earth's Surface as seen from Space

During the Great American Solar Eclipse on August 21st, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus and Spaceweather.com launched 11 high-altitude balloons from 5 states in the path of totality. "We hoped to catch the Moon's shadow sweeping across the landscape from a vantage point in the stratosphere--and we succeeded." These pictures show the inky-black shadow of the Moon darkening a 70 mile-wide patch of Wyoming/Nebraska:

The camera, a Panasonic GH4, belonged to professional photographer Josh Stansfield. He helped students launch the balloon from Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, and later processed these unique images after the payload was recovered from its landing site in Nebraska.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mumbai Colaba recorded 31 mms and Scruz 83 mms till 8.30 pm IST on Friday 25th..so 57 mms between the 2 stations .

Posted Thursday Night:

Seems possibly a wet weekend with heavy showers for West M.P, adjoining NW Maharashtra and adjoining Eastern Gujarat.
BB-8 could form in the North West Bay by 26th. Can track Westwards, and later strengthen on land. Could be heading towards Gujarat as a Well Marked Low.

Mumbai: The short dry spell will end on Friday with moderate rains. Friday may see frequent showers, some heavy with around 40-50 mms rains (between the 2 stations). Saturday & Sunday will continue to get frequent intermittent showers, some heavy in Mumbai.
Pune: Weekend will be partly cloudy with light rains in some parts of Pune. A few scattered moderate showers on Sunday.
Roha and surrounding areas may see moderate to heavy showers on Friday ( 45-65 mms).Rain intensity may decrease on Saturday and Sunday, but frequent heavy showers continue.

Indore: Frequent rains for a slightly wet weekend.
Ahmadabad: Heavy thunder showers/showers likely on Saturday/Sunday.
Surat will see some frequent showers on Friday and Saturday.

Posted Wednesday 23rd Night:

A new Low, BB-8, is expected to form off North A.P./Odisha coast in the Bay around the 26th. 
Monsoon Axis likely to assist the Low to merge. BB-8, seems as of now, will strengthen (on land)in the trough and cross the Indian mainland moving West on crossing the coast. 
If things shape up, then i would not rule out good rains in Gujarat after 28th.... Possible, it seems now, that the strengthened BB-8 could re-emerge in the Arabian Sea off Gujarat. 

No meaningful increase in rains in Delhi this weekend. Maybe the stray thunder shower in some parts...for the North West region development, we shall observe the cloud spread from BB-8.
We wait and see the exact track...and also to see if there is any rains for Sindh from BB-8.

More of this will be clear in 2 days ....so no commitment today !

Mumbai: After a hot 3 days break in rains, Mumbai will see increase in rainfall from Friday 25th. Starting Friday, Mumbai will see a moderately wet weekend with daily rains of about 30-45 mms.

Weekend Posting tomorrow ( Thursday).

Bangalore gets freedom from seasonal deficit in just single day on our Independence Day !

Happy Independence day and Happy Shri Krishna Janmashtami/Dahi Handi to all Vagarians

Bangalore's actual seasonal rain was less and deficit in mms was more this was the story till yesterday !! As Bangalore recorded 129mm seasonal rain since 01-06-2017 till 14-08-2017 so deficit was standing on -133mm which was below normal from departure ! And almost same was with Bangalore HAL as recorded 116 mms seasonal rain since 01-06-2017 till 14-08-2017 so deficit was standing on -111mm

But Independence Day started with Massive Rains overnight so all the seasonal deficit got wiped out in just span of 3-4hrs Thunderstorm rain !

Bangalore HAL recorded 144 mms & Bangalore city 129 mms rainfall ending 8.30am today on 15-08-2017.

Not only seasonal deficit got wiped out but Bangalore HAL Airport broken it's previous 103 mm highest rainfall record in 24 hrs for Aug month which was set on 12-08-1996 by setting new record of 144 mms in 24hrs today !

New Weather Phenomena: Space Lightning:
As the rest of India is comparatively silent, i take this opportunity to provide readers with this  an unusual (newly found in 2001) weather phenomena called "Space Lightning". The Gemini cloudcam atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii monitor storms approaching some of the world's largest telescopes. It often captures bright bolts of lightning lancing down to the ground This time the cameras caught lightning lancing upwards ! 
It was not until 2001-2002 that Gigantic Jets were first recorded from Puerto Rico and Taiwan." Only a few dozen Gigantic Jets have ever been seen, mostly over open ocean.
A rare footage of Gigantic Jets leaping up from a powerful thunderstorm. The strange-looking bolts reached toward the edge of space.
Cloudcam video caught at least three of these jets springing from the tops of a powerful growing thunderstorm. The tallest of them reached all the way to the ionosphere some 80 km overhead.

Sometimes called "space lightning," Gigantic Jets and their cousins the sprites are true space weather phenomena. They inhabit the upper atmosphere alongside auroras, meteors and noctilucent clouds. Some researchers believe they are linked to cosmic rays: subatomic particles from deep space striking the top of Earth's atmosphere produce secondary electrons that could, in turn, provide the spark for these upward bolts.

The link to cosmic rays is particularly interesting at this time. For the past two years, space weather balloons have observed a steady increase in deep space radiation penetrating our atmosphere. This increase is largely due to the decline in the solar cycle. Flagging solar wind pressure and weakening sunspot magnetic fields allow more cosmic rays into the inner solar system--a trend which is expected to continue for for years to come. These changes could add up to more Gigantic Jets in the future.

Posted 11th August Night:

The Monsoon axis runs very close to the Himalayan Foothills. Hence, very heavy rainfall is expected in Eastern Nepal, Sikkim and Sub Himalayan West Bengal. Heavy rains likely at few places in East U.P, Bihar and Jharkhand.
