Loyalists of Vagaries, who have been with us for years, now please utilise your experience to explain this  ⬇

Something very amazing and bizarre..Vagarians can give an explanation for this in comments...please read and study the full

article, and explain this to me..

Shocking Cloud Pattern: Random Chance, An Unknown Phenomenon ?

 An unusual, if not disturbing, cloud pattern in the visible satellite imagery....18th November 2021.

I mean odd.

As shown below, you can see the object of concern.....a nearly perfect rectangle in the low clouds (mainly stratus and stratocumulus) due west of Baja California


Here is a closer view.   Wow.


What is particularly odd is that the box seems to nearly remain in place over time.  This is not normal.


We have some international experts on low clouds in the subtropics in my department. In the past, several have talked about human intervention to modify such clouds artificially as a tool to reduce global warming.

They assured me that no such experiment was going on and they could not explain this bizarre appearance.

The Guardian newspaper also emailed about it, asking if this feature is the result of global warming.  I assured them that there was no reason to expect that to be the case.  

(And Charles Mudede, the self-styled "Green Mussolini"  at the Seattle Stranger, also called, suggesting it was a "Wiccan rectangle."   He also noted that it could be related to "Lucifer's rectangle." )   

The truth is that the cloud rectangle is probably just a random natural phenomenon: with enough time a strange geometric pattern is bound to appear.  

But you never know....

Major drop in Day Temperatures i Haryana & Delhi on 3rd February...




Sharp Drop in Day Temperature in Delhi !








Thursday, February 03, 2022

Posted 3rd February Morning:

*Thunderstorm and moderate rainfall is likely over Delhi NCR Moderate 

*Widespread rainfall may occur over Bihar and Jharkhand 

*Mercury will dip in Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Rajasthan and parts of UP

Due to ⬇

Western Disturbance F-1 affecting the country

Moderate to heavy rain/snow likely over western Himalayan region on today 3rd and tomorrow 4th February. 

An induced cyclonic circulation over Rajasthan/Punjab region (associated with the WD F-1) is likely to give rain/thunderstorms with chance of hail over northern plains today and reducing from tomorrow onwards.

Both the WD and cyclonic circulation likely to move east which would result in rains across UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, northern parts of Chhattisgarh, Odisha and West Bengal starting today afternoon and continuing tomorrow. 

Almost entire Northeast region of India to also get rain/Thundershowers starting with some heavy intensity on 4th February. 

Eastern Himalayas to get heavy precipitation on 4th Feb. 


Weather becoming cooler again for Mumbai!!

Increase in westerly winds from the Arabian sea has resulted in rise in humidity and a foggy morning in Mumbai and Thane region. 



Pics by Vaibhav Dandekar  ➡

Outlook: Day temperature today 3rd and tomorrow 4th Feb is likely to remain below 30°C, possibly around 28°C owing to WD F-1 effect. Nights will be cool and pleasant around 16°C, more cooler for interiors in Thane district. 

Daytime temperature may however rise again from 5th Feb as the WD effect diminishes.


Pune: Warmer days with max around 31°C today and tomorrow, while nights can remain cool around 10-11°C.  

Tuesday, February 01, 2022

 Delhi recorded 88.2 mm rain against the normal of 19.3 mm thus the wettest January since 1901. So, highest rainfall in last 121 years for January
