Thanks Rohit for good stats on monsoon extremes. MAHA definitely shows an increasing wetter trend. Like 2016, 2017 toppers was with 9000mm++. KAR Augumbe remains same decreasing trend 6000mm like 2016 -coastal KAR,KER are failing to reach toppers.
NEM for TN / SAP seems not favorable for interiors - approaching Western Disturbance may impact rains for TN .

Congratulations, Rajesh and team.

What ever you may say Rajesh, IMDs forecast is very bad if we factor in the resources they have at their disposal. Most of the time they follow the weather instead of predicting it. A day or two back Punjab had heavy fog so next days forecast was the same. The next day the fog belt had moved to UP and Punjab was clear. At the level of national meteorological organization a lot more is expected. The Mumbai incident referred to in the article is very much a fact. They never got the intensity of the rain right on the day it happened. So schools and colleges were open on the day of the rain and were closed the next day when they could have remained open.

Thanks Saurabh and Suresh and all on the Social Media.
Vagaries is not an individual effort, but a joint effort and combined interest in the weather. Though started solely, it is now a big family as is seen on the social media with so many compliments and well wishers.
Thaks to all Vagarians for what it is today !
Yes Saurabh, even the fog was predicted in Vagaries on the 5th , 2 days before, and have mentioned it reducing for the weekend.
