Posted 26th May night:
Yaas weakening fast and moving NW into Jharkhand/Bihar and East U.P...
Once cyclone Yaas dissipates, which is expected around May 28, the ocean and atmospheric conditions would once again normalise and favor the advancement of the monsoon
Monsoon has moved upto Maldives and South Sri Lanka.
Now, seeing the OLR box ( 5N - 10N and 70E- 75 E) we see favorable values of below 200 wm2
Judging by this, we feel the SWM will advance to Kerala, as a weak current on 27th May
Will remain weak and stagnant till 1st June at least. Giving a few days for the off shore trough to stabilize,and the pressure gradient to establish.
Forecast for 27th Thursday, 28th Friday, 29th Saturday.
Mumbai: Proper Monsoon still 12- 15 days away..around 8th-10th June. But pre monsoon showers may start by 4th June..+- 2 days.
Warm and humid next few days.
Pune: Partly cloudy. A mild shower in some parts on 28TH/29TH possible.
Monsoon proper expected after 8th June.
Goa: As the off shore trough forms, Goa will start with pre monsoon from around 29th or 30th.
Posted 26th May
Cyclone Yaas made landfall today between 9:30am-12 noon with a wind speed of 130-140 kmph at the north Odisha coast as Cat 1..and on estimated track
Rainfall in Odisha till 8:30 am
Kusumi: 300 mm
Chandbali: 288 mm
Rajnagar: 275 mm
Ersama: 271 mm
Rajkanika: 251 mm
Tihidi: 242 mm
Kujang: 226 mm
Paradip: 200 mm
This is only the fourth pre-monsoon cyclone in the satellite era (1980 onwards) and second pre-monsoon cyclone after 1989 to hit Odisha coast with at least severe cyclonic storm strength (winds greater than 48 knots).

Monday, May 24, 2021
Will it reach cat 2/3 ?
Posted 24th 12 midnight
Yaas position at 17N and 89 E.
But study the map below..Seems Might Cross as Cat 1
Posted 24th May...1 pm
BB-3, expressed as a Depression till yesterday, now satellite images showing tightening of the pressure around the centre.. Thus rapidly formed into a Cyclone "Yaas" with estimated core pressure at 990 mb and core winds estimated at 65-75 kmph.
Tracking towards the Odisha/West Bengal border line....as Cat 2/3
Balasore 300-350mms, Bhubaneshwar 275-325 mms....can vary depending on the intensifying of the Cyclone.
Kolkata can expect 80-100 mms in the time frame.
Mumbai: No cyclone threat to Mumbai. Partly cloudy weather for 24th -27th with light drizzles in some parts of city ..very scattered.
Pune: Partly cloudy with chances of thundery development in some parts of Pune on Monday/Tuesday.

Posted 21st May 1 pm :
Low Pressure will form in the Bay location 15N and 95E off SW coast of Myanmar.
Due to conducive atmosphere, where the TCHP , Water heat content, is more than 100kg/cm2 in major portions of Bay (except extreme North Bay), very rapid development to a cyclone stage ( Cat 2/3 possible) within 2-3 days from forming.
Seeing the above conditions, Cyclone (Yaas) may hit Odisha/West Bengal coast around 25th/26th May.
South West Monsoon will advance into South Andamans by 22nd May.
Monsoon Likely in Kerala ,as a weak current around 26th...Needs to be monitored.
Weekend Weather:
(*Real feel of any temperature in the forecast means how the temperature will feel to your body. Basically, temperatures that thermometers record and the that our body feels can be different under wind/humidity/cloud conditions etc).
Mumbai ; Sunny with patchy clouds and humid, feeling discomfort and sweaty.
. Real feel* 37/38c.
Pune: Partly cloudy with hot day around 37c , with real feel* around 37c. Slight drizzle possible in patches or parts of Pune.
Lonavala: Getting cloudy by afternoon /evening. and warm days around 34c. Nights around 22/23c.

North India Today.. By Navdeep Dahiya
See Gujarat Rain Amounts from Tauktae below this article.. Posted
Posted 19th May afternoon:
Mumbai: The "Post Cyclone" passing showers continue even on the 19th Wednesday. These are due to the strong South Westerly winds still lashing the West Coast , heading towards the System, now as a Depression over West M.P....
The passing showers will continue till the erstwhile system weakens...maybe another day.
But in patches, Mumbai one next day will have a few passing showers with bright sunny periods. Getting hotter.
This is not the Monsoon !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post Cyclone showers also continue in some patches of Madhya Maharashtra, Gujarat and N.I. and Coastal Karnataka.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bay of Bengal: Around 21st May, A Low pressure can form in the North- East Bay off the Myanmar coast at location at 15N , 95E..SW off Yangon. The will strengthen and move in days to come and move towards Bangladesh.
May cross as a Deep Depression/ Cyclone around 25th/26th..
This will attract good strong SW winds towards the system in the Bay from Below Sri Lanka (Bay Branch of Monsoon Cross Equatorial Winds). As seen in IMD Forecast Map.
The South West Monsoon will advance into the Andaman Islands on around 23rd May.
As regards the West Coast, stronger SW winds will develop off Kerala coast and CAN bring in a feeble current of the South West Monsoon around 27th/28th May...Needs Follow up though !
