At this moment, totally illogical to compare seasonal rainfall for these regions with annual rainfall. With plenty of time left for NEM season. Deliberately misleading readers here. <br /><br />On the contrary most Northern Regions severely impacted by deficit SWM and ranging from -10% to -35%. How can farmers manage their crops there? Must be a tough period for them. Hope SWM can stay longer and bring rains to North India. <br /><br />Suresh Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428713258021417931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-11984019039816143782019-09-28T20:49:33.340+05:302019-09-28T20:49:33.340+05:30Gujarat 3 cyclone -Vayu, Hakka, 3rd one spawning! ...Gujarat 3 cyclone -Vayu, Hakka, 3rd one spawning!

Take for instance Chennai rain as of now is 500mm annual 1500 - NEM can never (unless miracle) fill gap of 1000mm!, Bangalore rain now is 400mm, annual normal is 800mm - NEM can never fill gap of 400mm... in fact all major southern cities have received only 50% normal rain. New trend we see is GUJ,MAHA,MP still receiving extreme rains till end septs - span till early oct.. this is not allowing any system to form over south east India - this is a big climate anomaly outlier pattern which needs to be researched. <br />If such conditions continue almost all south east Indian places will become day-zero like cape town - no water (they depend mainly on NEM)ssethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06630570720915417629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-6089580603664085322019-09-28T18:10:42.153+05:302019-09-28T18:10:42.153+05:30Thanks Rajesh sir for AS-3 update- and Thanks a lo...Thanks Rajesh sir for AS-3 update- and Thanks a lot fellow vagarians- This point on quantum measurement has been going around my mind since very long- NilaY Wankawalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044520060781153252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-38921513463200140582019-09-28T15:54:21.698+05:302019-09-28T15:54:21.698+05:30All India Rainfall Deviation - +8All India Rainfall Deviation - +8Saurabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363965795525890979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-59983116204789804332019-09-28T15:36:55.632+05:302019-09-28T15:36:55.632+05:30Thanks Rajesh for the forecast.

You make a ...Thanks Rajesh for the forecast.<br /><br />Nilay<br />You make a good point. Even in a normal season the current cut off dates do not capture accurately the seasonal summer rainfall for many places in south and east india. Even in normal years, monsoon continues into October for many places outside of north west india. <br />Take Bangalore itself<br />June to September - 58 cm<br />May and October - 28 cm<br />Much of the October rain in Bangalore is SWM winding down because in November, Bangalore does not get much rain. So the Bangalore summer rainfall is the sum of the two .. 86 cm.<br /><br />Year to date rainfall gives a better picture.<br />Regards<br />SaurabhSaurabhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363965795525890979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-12988432877708872712019-09-28T13:03:11.580+05:302019-09-28T13:03:11.580+05:30Oh! @nilaY.

IMD counting date must be change because they count monsoon rain from 1st June when swm hitting kerala but they end the counting on 30th september. But on that time swm stil active over kerala. They should count it til the date when swm is withdrawn from entire country.This will be the actual total monsoonal rainfall.Abhijit Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106996620505982425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-80539061045907233032019-09-28T12:53:13.849+05:302019-09-28T12:53:13.849+05:30Thanks for your forecast on withdrawal .Thanks for your forecast on withdrawal .Abizer kachwalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042135659315600211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-31218404861512650562019-09-28T12:05:51.107+05:302019-09-28T12:05:51.107+05:30Sir Thanks for a very quick reply-
Over the years...Sir Thanks for a very quick reply-<br /><br />Over the years, this has been my doubt that total rainfall begans on 01.06. irrespective of SWM setting in and closed on 30.09. irrespective of withdrawal taking place. SOme how I had been feeling that in such case, the total rains recorded over entire SWM is not to be termed as SWM RAINFALL but as J J A S rainfall over the country. <br /><br />With Latest informatrion technology and computers at IMD service, is it not logical that SWM rains counting are started when SWM set in and closed as and when withdrawal is completed for the season. May we have system like 1st week rains of SWM SEASON X1 getting being camopared with 1st week of next season X2.? That will be better parameter I guess rather than trying to tap SWM between a fixed period of JUNE TO SEPT. One cant lock SWM within Fixed Parameters of JUNE TO SEPT. This season has set the best example how it started, its progressed and still continuing and counting.<br /><br />Just my view is shared- Thanks to you and your blog as a platform for sharing this-<br /><br />NilaY Wankawalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044520060781153252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-49308204326673323542019-09-28T11:53:24.458+05:302019-09-28T11:53:24.458+05:30Nilay: Thanks for your comment.

Normally IMD cuts off the seasons rainfall on 30th September.And Oct/Nov/Dec total is taken separately.<br />We are trying to make them toatl up the Monsoon rainfall upto the withdrawal date of Monsoon. So we have actual monsoon rainfall. Trying to explain..but seems doubtful.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511057956916968156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-3481445861383555652019-09-28T11:42:59.279+05:302019-09-28T11:42:59.279+05:30Sir thanks for the update.

SWM has kept all vagarians on the toes for entire season.<br /><br />sir one question:<br /><br />This means there will be rains, more rains after september which will NOT BE counted in official seasonal rainfall for the country as a whole as per IMD standard of closing the season on 30.09. every year.?<br /><br />Season for country as a whole as on 27.09.2019 has already recorded 931.6mm as against normal avg rainfall of 869.4mm showing surplus of 7.2% - Entire seasonal avg rainfall for entire country is arrd 889-890mm. <br />(SOURCE IMD)NilaY Wankawalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044520060781153252noreply@blogger.com
