This brings clouding, more so when a low forms in the bay. this cannot be expected from the east coast, as there is normally no cross flow. That is my opinion, but i am no expert and could be checked.<br />nt, the clouds seen are due tio convection only. not linked to any low. you may notice that this thick clouding vanishes in the mornings.Height due to convection.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511057956916968156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-43818155484487138222010-09-30T13:16:40.142+05:302010-09-30T13:16:40.142+05:30There was an intense area of convection seen just ...There was an intense area of convection seen just south of Mumbai yesterday night. Infact the cloud top temperature had reached <br />-70 degree C at quite late in the night around Ratnagiri. Surprised to see this kind of cloud temperatures so late post sun-set (the assumption is that these storms are purely convection led without any active systems).<br /><br />One wonders if this is anyway related to the Low in the SE Arabian seantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-46666432251458036382010-09-30T11:12:48.848+05:302010-09-30T11:12:48.848+05:30Hi Rajesh,
