Any idea about NEM ? My place Rayalseema eagerly awaiting for rains after 4-5 years of drought. Recent UAC brought some hope to farmers.

Hi Rajesh,

This time I need to compliment you on a forecast that you did not give. When most weather experts predicted a very heavy rainfall for Mumbai from Thursday to Saturday period, you never gave such a hyped forecast. And you were spot on. You can capture the Vagaries of Weather well indeed ! You continue to delight us.

Rajesh, to add on from the previous note, it has also been a delight to watch the SWM in its grand glory this year. It has touched every part of India step by step. I know North West and North East India have lagged behind probably but I suppose that is exactly Vagaries of Weather as you term the blog. But overall for the country, I hope there is enough water especially for the agriculture sector. Most farmers should be happy I think barring some regions of scanty rainfall. This SWM has been outstanding, nature at its best (but cannot forget the people affected by floods and hope normalcy is restored in those regions),

Let's hope SWM signs off with a flourish over the next few weeks.

Lucky Gujarat - has seen cyclone Vayu during start of SWM, continuous Multiple UACs during middle of SWM and now depression/low during end of SWM. What else is required for surplus++ GUJ ?

Southern rains have become quite- will NEM start on time? SWM seems to stay till October (which is not good)

Huge climate changes and twist we see during 2019 - Apart from MAHA being world wettest place, Rayalseema/TN being most driest places in India, new entry is Arabian Sea is becoming hyperactive every passing year - will this impact NEM ??

Marathwada has done a good job from reducing its deficit to -13% from -28% little more than the month ago only. Do u expect more rains there before the monsoon ends?????

South India receives normal rainfall during South West Monsoon so far. All Southern Regions. Please refer to the latest IMD link to the rainfall map for correct information

North regions lagging behind.

Will low pressure / depression off Gujarat coast instead of moving towards Oman recurve towards RAJ/GUJ just like Cyclone Vayu - whole SWM withdrawl will lapse?

Saurabh said...

You are right Suresh.
Not one subdivision of south india has received below normal rain fall.
Not one subdivision of north india has received above normal rainfall. The deviations in north india are 42 percent below normal in Haryana to 9 percent below normal in Punjab.

If some one goes by the comments on this blog they may reach the opposite conclusion.

I just dont understand the objectives of this disinformation campaign.


Saurabh said...

Hi Rajesh
Monsoon withdrawal refuses to start. This is not making much to difference to the rainfall deficits in north india though.

This needs your expert analysis. Please take out some time and explain this strange behaviour.

Saurabh
