Responses

  1. NOGAPS predicts the system to hit YEMEN coast…
    GFS predicts Pakistan to take the direct hit….
    NOGAPS predicts little rainfall for next two days…
    December is going to be the wettest month…
    This system is pulling away all the moisture and leaving us dry for the next one week…

  2. Storm approaching chen..and more to follow.

  3. Its very silent and still at Adyar. Lull before the storm? Or after?

  4. Its rising up ,up ,up,up….. Tmrw early morning/ morning rain wil be the heaviest..,no wonder,if chen is flooded..

  5. “NEM wil reach its peak intensity in Dec-jan wit more number of weather system” ….

  6. Keep a luk at radar..my area got covered in tat bullet(rain cloud) triggered 4m east … I thnk it din touch Nunga…

  7. Kea, lol.even last time wen it poured ,u askd tis to me….am hardly 5 kms n-nw of u..dnt knw xactly abt distance but am n-nw of u…..pls dnt ask again.am not staying above 300m in troposphere,..

  8. Karachi metro, lol.bay is not sleeping… tis system born in bay n going to thrown up towrds arb sea as a dump… Take it man…v hav plenty lik tis..now models r saying tat tis would develop into major system ..all bcos of associated mjo wave near equatorial ind ocean …not bcos of arb sea… Bay wont sleep…it wil b active for the entire year unlike arb sea…u would hav seen rarely system forming in bay during feb,march….dude,how can u say bay is sleeping? .

    • In terms of tropical storms…3 tropical storm accordin to JTWC IN ARB while 0 in BOB this year..

  9. Dont know, why bay is so silent this year. After our very famous ‘JAL” our bady become ‘DULL’. A major system is due. Hope it will come back with a bang.

    • *bay became DULL

      • but we are getting our rains. NEM will most probably end up normal. Annual rain is already 15% over the average.

        What else can we ask for?

        • Not complaning about the rains. They are more than enough. was a bit surprised with the behaviour of BOB.

        • Since you asked, pleasant temperature through the year, an occasional cyclone and maybe a week of REAL winter will be nice thank you :)

          But seriously, its a fair point – where are the cyclones? Is NEM the new SWM now?

  10. Dash this is for you. Early Christmas present.

  11. Looks like Arabian sea will host another storm…Bay still sleeping

    • Get ready for cyclone Thane. Expected to cross Pakistan coast around 1st

      • It would be exciting if it does so.. :)

  12. Rainfall till now this month 362 mm

    ArjunLV’s prediction 475. Will he win again?

    • i predicted 500mm appr :|

    • My 425mm looks more like it..

      • given Selva’s prediction, we will cross that tonite itself

    • @ Kea, i’ll be happy if i win second time on the trot, but i’ll be even happier if chennai receives much heavier rain and i loose!!

  13. Showers turned to a hvy fall…wat a downpour …still on. Wil now atleast officials look aftr stdnts burden?

    • where do u live? how come everytime it rains, it pours there?

  14. A Squall from Northeasterly direction with maximum wind speed reaching 36 knots (about 65 kmph) crossed Meenambakkam Observatory at 0000 hours IST of 25.11.11 and lasted for 2 minutes

    Did anyone notice this?

      • Yes, it happend yesterday night. a tree fell onto a transformer near our apartment. we didn’t had power till 10 am in the morning today.

    • hi suddenly I see comments saying that rains over for chennai in the current spell, what is ur prediction for tomorow and sunday?

  15. http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/daten/sat/2011/11/25/Igms1600.jpg

    • will tat cloud mass move north??

      • s it will move n

  16. Vsn, ya,.tats it..tats xactly my point of view..v r in outflow region…now our rain wil b controlled by the system movement…or v can say, slight movement twrds w-nw wil rise those rain clouds to us and certainly it wil give the max rain…

  17. clouds gathering off delta coast.already its pouring in delta dists slowly it will reach n tn

  18. System intensifying … It luks chennai(n.tn coast) falling under system divergence outflow region….very heavy fall possible…

    • I think this is the end of rains for chennai.

      • Kea, i said in the noon that this would be our last spell for this NEM 2011.. Now do you agree ?

        • No, Selva has been very lucky this NEM. Lets see if he is right.

          We will have couple of good systems in December, our NEM is not over by any means.

        • Aruns1411 – do you happen to know if agninakshatram is next week ? Thanks. I heard you predicted that also.

    • Exactly Selva, If the system moves in NW direction the drag will move a lil north. we will get some good spells then. lets wait and see.

  19. THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 4.1N
    79.3E, IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 4.9N 78.3E, APPROXIMATELY 150 NM
    SOUTHWEST OF COLOMBO, SRI LANKA

    THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO HIGH.

  20. Any idea of rainfall in Korattur?

  25. tat storm is above my house…. devilish rain….

  26. !!!!!!!!!!!நாசாவுக்கே தண்ணிகாட்டிய திருநள்ளாறு!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    இன்று பல நாடுகள் செயற்கைகோள்களை விண்வெளிக்கு அனுப்பி வருகின்றன. அவற்றில் செல்போன் பயன்பாடு, ராணுவ பயன்பாடு, உளவு என பல்வேறு காரங்களுக்காக பயன்படுத்தப்படுகிறது. சில வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பு அமெரிக்க செயற்கைகோள் ஒன்று பூமியின் குறிப்பிட்ட பகுதியை கடக்கும் பொது மட்டும் 3 வினாடிகள் ஸ்தம்பித்துவிடுகிறது. 3 வினாடிகளுக்கு பிறகு வழக்கம்போல் வானில் பறக்க ஆரம்பித்து விடுகிறது. எந்தவித பழுதும் அதன் செயற்கைகோளில், அதன் கருவிகளில்ஏற்படுவதில்லை.

    இந்த சம்பவம் நாசாவிற்கு அதிர்ச்சி கலந்த ஆச்சரியதயை அளித்தது.
    இது எப்படி சாத்தியம்??? – என்பதை ஆராய்ந்து, கிடைத்த முடிவு நாசாவை மட்டுமல்ல, உலகையே மிரள வைத்தது.

    ஆம்! எந்த ஒரு செயற்கைகோளும் பூமியில் இந்தியாவின்-தமிழ்நாடு அருகில் உள்ள புதுச்சேரி- திருநள்ளாறு ஸ்ரீ தர்ப்பநேஷவரர் கோவிலுக்கு மேல் நேர் உள்ள வான்பகுதியை கடக்கும் 3 வினாடிகள் மட்டும் ஸ்தம்பித்துவிடுகின்றன.

    அப்படி நிகழ்வதற்கு என்ன காரணம் ???

    ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் ஒவ்வொரு வினாடியும் கண்ணுக்கு தெரியாத கருநீலகதிர்கள் அந்த கோவிலின் மீது விழுந்துகொண்டே இருக்கிறது.
    இரண்டரை வருடங்களுக்கு ஒரு முறை நடக்கும் சனி பெயர்ச்சியின் பொது இந்த கருநீலகதிர்களின் அடர்த்தி மிகவும் அதிகமாக இருக்கும். விண்வெளியில் சுற்றி கொண்டிருக்கும் செயற்கைகோள்கள் இந்த கருநீலகதிர்கள் பாயும் பகுதிக்குள் நுழையும்போது ஸ்தம்பித்து விடுகின்றன. அதே நேரத்தில் செயற்கைகோள்களுக்கு எந்த விதபாதிப்பும் ஏற்படுவதில்லை.

    இதில்குறிபிடத்தக்க அம்சம் என்னவென்றால் இந்த கோவில்தான் இந்துக்களால் ‘சனிபகவான்’ தலம் என்று போற்றபடுகிறது. இந்த சம்பவத்திற்கு பிறகு நாசாவிலிருந்து பல முறை திருநள்ளாறு வந்து ஆராய்ச்சி செய்து விட்டனர். மனிதனை மீறிய சக்தி உண்டு என்பதை உணர்ந்தனர். அவர்களும் சனிபகவானை கையெடுத்து கும்பிட்டு உணர்ந்தனர். இன்று வரை விண்ணில் செயற்கைகோள்கள் திருநள்ளாறு பகுதியை கடக்கும் பொது ஸ்தம்பித்து கொண்டே இருக்கிறது.”

    இந்த செய்தியை கேட்டு பிரமிக்காதவர்கள் நம்முடைய முன்னோர்களை நினைத்து கட்டயம் பிரமிக்கவேண்டும். நாம் பல செயற்கைகோள்கள் கொண்டு கண்டறியும் சனிகோளின் கதிர்வீச்சு விழும் பகுதியை கண்டு பிடித்து அதற்கென ஒரு கோயிலையும் கட்டி , கதிர்வீசுகள் அதிகள் விழும் நாட்களையும் கணக்கிட்டு அதற்க்கான நாளை சனிபெயர்ச்சி என்று அறிவிக்கும் திறமையை,நம்மால் நினைத்துக்கூட பார்க்க முடியாத ஒரு தொலைநோக்கு பார்வை கொண்ட நம் முன்னோர்களை நினைத்து என்னால் பிரமிக்காமல் இருக்க முடியவில்லை.

    இதை விஞ்சும் வகையில் ஒரு விசயம் கேள்வி பட்டேன்.

    நீங்கள் எதாவது சிவன் கோவிலுக்கு சென்றால் அங்கே நவகிரகங்களை நன்றாக கவனியுங்கள். அந்த சிலைகளின்மேல் கட்டப்பட்டுள்ள துணிகளையும் நன்றாய் உற்று பாருங்கள்!!
    எந்த கோள் எந்த நிறத்தில் இருக்கும் என்பதை நம் முன்னோர்கள் கட்டிவைத்திருக்கும் அந்த துணிகளில் கண்டறியுங்கள், பிரமித்து போவீர்கள் பெரியோர்களின் அறிவாற்றலை நினைத்து, இந்தஅறிவியலின் அதிசயத்தை அனைத்து தலைமுறையும் அறியவேண்டும், அதற்காக அவர்கள் நம்மை பின்பற்ற வைத்ததுதான் கடவுள் மார்க்கம் என்றே நான் எண்ணுகிறேன்…

    எது எப்படியோ??? நமது முன்னோர்கள் நம்மை விட
    கில்லாடிகள் !!!!

    எப்படியா ??

    அவர்கள் போட்ட புதிருக்கு இன்னும் விடை தெரியாமல்
    அலைந்து கொண்டிருகிருகிறோம்.. அறிவியல் வளர்ச்சியோடு.!!!!!!!!

    • @ O’dashman- Nice one..can you post the english version.Tks

    • This is a totally wrong news. We astronomers don’t buy this! This hoax fake news is on rounds since 2004! I just fed up explaining this this scientifically in correct news. As from space that temple is just a dot and that place has no such so called power to stop a satellite! No NASA scientists came there and No NASA spacecraft except ISS pass over India except US Military spy satellites. I wonder why people just post news without checking its bonafides.

  34. eastla kelambudhv.its getting really dark

    • only drizzles from this 3rd spell.. :-( everything going NW..

  35. Rains started again….any more predictions ?
    Sea looks deadly and very rough…

  36. Hi frnds…

    Check out the BBC Forecast.. it shows the current system is again moving to OMAN only…

    So, Our NEM Rains will bang next month also…

  37. Our NEM rains for next month will be active..only if the present system doesn’t cross our indian coast…

    If it moves away from our indian coast, then our NEM rains hopes for next month will be alive..

    • You are right! Once the system crosses the Indian coast there will be a change in wind pattern (SW). This will halt our rains if that happens.But, if he system moves away from the coast, it will not change the wind pattern and we will continue to receive heavy rains!

  38. ncep gfs shows another low forming in bay over a same area..

  39. http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/GemPakTier/MagGemPakImages/gfs/20111125/06/gfs_asia_048_precip_p24.gif

  43. Huge spell to start around 5 PM today :-)

    • Sel, where r u? u always abscond when we receive rains :-D

  44. Continous Heavy rain from morning already flooded and also sea water coming in…. :( when dis rain will stop…

    • Rain will stop after submerging Pulicat..be careful with the upcoming evening spell!

      • Dash’u…. Y dis kolaveri…

  45. A system formation south of comrin area will be of no use to chennai and north tamil nadu. in fact that is not the place normally any system can form and give rains to chennai / south ap.

    the present wet spell is not due to that. possibly another low pressure near north tamil nadu coast could be the reason. IMD is unable to predict properly.
    radar is quite clear that there would be some more rains to chennai till night.

    ss.

    • the current wet spell is due to an easterly trough in sw bay

  46. IMD in its mid-day report has stated that the system is likely  to move  in a northwesterly direction and concentrate in to a depression  over  Maldives  and  Lakshadweep areas during next 24 hours .

    Fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea off south Tamilnadu and  Kerala coasts and Lakshadweep area during next 48 hours.

    • This is what Gfs has been saying for ages. The system might concentrate into cyclone thane and head towards Pakistan

  47. SRI radar is not that much promising for Chennai.

    • Thats what i said couple of hours back.. It is not promising for chennai and i anticipate that this will be end of NEM..

      • I disagree. Anyways let’s wait and watch.

      • Aruns1411 – if you are wrong and this is not the end of NEM what will you do if you are proved wrong ? Just eating your words may not be good enough for some people

  48. A low pressure area has formed over comorin area and neighbourhood and is well marked with association upper air cyclonic circulation extending upto mid­tropospheric levels. A trough in easterlies extends from this system to westcentral Bay of Bengal. The system is likely to move in a northwesterly direction and concentrate in to a depression over Maldives and Lakshadweep areas during next 24 hours

  49. http://www.imd.gov.in/section/satmet/dynamic/insatsector-irc.htm

    Is the system moving or stagnant for a while?

    It is highly windy at Fort & Parrys! Clouds are fast moving from east.

  50. Heavy rains in Neelangarai (ECR near tiruvanmiyur)

  51. Rain is ripping Nungambakkam every now and then

  52. KEA.

    Radar promises more heavy showers as entire east reflects lot of big red lines moving towards west. in fact already places like triplicane startd getting heavy rains.
    what is your view

    I think rains would recommence soon. we may get one or two heavy spells also. probably before this evening we might cross another 6 to 7 centimeters of rain from 8.30 AM. radar continues to be promising. what is your view.

    ss.

    • yes radar looks good for nunga. Hopefully we get another 50 mm by this evening and then target 500 mm for Nov by tomorrow morning

      • Hats off to the Team, great predictions hour by hour.

  80. those who see radar, please see the closed range radar which is cent percent accurate. lot of big red lines exactly 50 kms, east, north east of chennai. we can expect showers quite heavy in another 1 or 2 hours. going by the long range radar picture, we can expect showers at least till evening.

    now places near mahabalipuram, kalpakkam no rains right from morning. the rain belt now slowly shitfted towards chennai and south coastal ap.

    but any time situations can change. In my area ( Kodambakkam), at least it would have 4 centimeters of rain in the last 45 minuts. now the sky is totally clear.

    ss.

  81. Western chennai like Valasaravakkam,vadapalni along with meena gettin heavy rainfall!

    • sry..meena is not gettin heavy rainfall but drizzles!..western chennai,western suburbs arre batterd

  83. @Kea – is that drainage pipe that shows water falling – does that water drop into your rain gauge (Pictures from your web cam I mean ) ?

    • no,

      the rain guage is located in the terrace,

      • Kea:

        How do you manage your business during rainy days?

        Taking off along with your kid?

  84. Meenambakkam’s and Tambaram’s wettest month so far this year was october at 30cm and 33cm respectively…november likely to overtkae oct!

    • One more for nunga…….

      • That one misses nunga and approaches my area!!!!!

  85. The close range radar continues to pick up red dotted lines with huge breadth which ensures intermittent spells for chennai city as well.

    but the red lines should move from port/ennore to get huge quantity of rains. Still for this season we are yet to receive about 8 to 10 centimeters of rain within one hour. of course only depressions can bring such huge rainfall. let us see.

    already it looks like a new system developing east of nagai as per latest sat. picture.

    ss.

    • Suresh Srinivasan – you are right north chennai rains have been less. But can your infrastructure handle it ?

  86. Chennai AP at 65cm from NEM…Just 20cm to go to complete normal NEM rianfall for meena

    • Light rain now……

  87. 20mm away to reach 366mm(aug record)

  88. Ashwin has a better average than Kohli

  89. More rains are on the card today for us.. …

    RADAR Looks danger

    • Now stopped…… It rained heavily here for 10-15mins!!!!! :o

  90. Rains are gonna take break from south chennai!

    • and go where?

  91. Another heavy spell started at Adyar

    • Tbalaj – isnt it just a “passing shower” ? To use your own sweet words….

    • RR still 100mm here!!!!!! Increasing!!!!!

    • RR steady at 100!!!!!!!!

  92. I feel the onset of NEM 2011 shouild be 24/11 and not 24/10. THe real rains has just started

    • Kea, i feel that this would be our last spell for NEM 2011..

      • now only we are receiving the heavy NEM rains…

        WE will have one or two systems in Dec….Bay got active now due to this system…

  93. can we cross 160 cm for the year in next 30 min?

    • RR should be 100mm here too!!!!

    • yes in next 10 mins to be precise

  94. Enjoyed one of good spell of rain of NEM in the train from Tambaram to Guindy. It would have easily more tha 20mm in 15 mints.

  95. Pouring like anything…..very heavy…

    • where ?

      • in choolaimedu…

  96. KEA,

    One request please try to record the maximum rainfall rate through some software or so.

    Its amazing 200mm/hr

  97. now 148 mm/hr

  98. Rainrate of 143mm/hr

    • RR 195.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. RR in nunga now 7.6mm this means stopped……

    • One more spell in nunga and here too!!!!

  100. It was unfortunate still rain belt not covered heart of chennai. Places beyond guindy battered several times. We have to get cloud from ennort and port north east of chennai so that the entire north, central and south chennai get coverd.

    kea observatory showed very poor rain rate so far from this system. Even kodambakkam area got some heavy showers in the last 30 minutes. could be 20 millimeters.

    but still lot of spells are likely before midnight.

    ss.

  101. RR in nunga now 100mm!!!

  102. I somehow not able to get what is there in arabian sea that all systems are moving towards west …. North TN, AP & Orissa has remained almost dry during this NEM… This NEM is quite strange.

    • Hmmm, dry you say

      Figures say different thing. We have crossed 600 mm in past 1 month

  103. System has now moved West – Northwest ward, currently at 4.1N 79.3 E. Is it possible that it can continue along with eastern coast in the BOB instead of moving to Arabian sea? Experts, what’s your thoughts?

  105. Kea– when I see the prediction.xls sheet,you seem to have missed my prediction of 425mm..I will be happy to see Chennai sail past this figure by tonite..but do include my prediction as well..tks

    • included, u have a fighting chance to be in top 5

  107. Kea
    Sachin is 39!!!! What can we expect! :(

  108. All heavy rains missing nunga again.

    Maybe it wants to close the gap between nunga and meens which now stands at 23 cm

  109. Cuddalore 14cm till 8.30am :o

    • My apartment is almost flooded! :o

  110. Tendulkar misses 100th century is heart break for all the indian

    • i dont know why?

      • Kea

    • easily 100 mm in next 1 hour

  114. I feel its the last two days of NEM 2011!! ..!!…anyways i think meena shud cross 20cm for 8.30am today to 8.30am tomoro!

    What do u mean by this KAR? We have a very wet December on the way. Expect at least 20 cm next month

    • too early and too much for dec!

  115. i really dint want sachin to score his hundreth hundred against a mediocre west indies side….what is a sachin century if its not agains australia?

  116. Nunga’s turn is now

  117. Tendulkar out for 95 on flattest pitch on earth

    • India should declare now, follow on and give Tendulkar another chance on his homeground

    • :( ((

    • dont worry dravid managed 85 only in that pitch….its good that he dint get here…Melbourne is the right place!..australi is the best place!

      • Cummins is waiting

    • Vada pochae!! :D

  118. its raining cats & dogs in velachery.
    wat a scene here!!! heavy rains with sachin in the brink of 100th 100.

  119. As if the rain gods wanted me to eat my words, its very dark and pouring heavily at Adyar now

    • And how – I remember you were the one who clearly said “Its just a passing shower”. I was categorical that it was NOT….and you brushed me aside…mind taking my observations more seriously next time tbalaj ?

  120. Omg…what a rain!!…very breezy!!….its pounding mad mad in Tambaram!….this spell will give 5cm if it rains for hal hour!

  121. rains hammering s chn currently

    • Totally smashed by rains here in Besant Nagar…

  122. JTWC has increased the chances of cyclone Thane happenning to medium. But this will not affect us, its for Arabian Sea.

    Only way this might affect us is end our monsoon.

    • dec wil have atleast 1 system

    • Getting pounded in besant nagar…sea very dark…I can see north chennai still not dark but south chennai getting pounded absolutely…

  123. OMG…TATA SKY OUT HERE DUE TO HEAVY RAIN…as sachin nears 100th 100 :( :(

    • dont worry even Ashwin will hit a century in this pitch

  124. entire chennai will be battered since its moving in wnw dir

    • Torrential downpour!

  125. Doesn’t look like the clouds will touch South Chennai or Nunga…Clouds keep pouring in but seem to be just veering around Chennai and pouring elsewhere :-(

  126. Madipakkam, Medavakkam areas will get most out of this spell..

    • A short shower here..

    • south chennai in for a battering

  127. East is severely dark…i and tambaram and other areas of south chennai getting ready for a monstrous spell of rainfall!

  128. omg!! radar looks ominous

    • A long line of continuous rains like yesterday nite..

      • But today it is slightly at a lower latitude..

  129. Very heavy rains approaching Chennai..it may start before 10! :-)

  130. delta and cuddalore dist has been severely battered.most places has received above 15cm :o

  131. Guys
    System should move northwards here after!
    http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=indian&sat=wm5&prod=shr&zoom=&time=

  132. I feel its the last two days of NEM 2011!! :( ..!!…anyways i think meena shud cross 20cm for 8.30am today to 8.30am tomoro!

  133. Radar shows red spot over south chennai!!

  134. Very heavy rain in tambaram..its extremely dark here…nothing alarming in radar though1

  135. Kea,

    Nothing is in radar but it is raining heavily in Madipakkam

    • S very heavy rain in Tamabram

  136. system moving into arabian see vry fast rain may reduce

    • Will pull moisture from Bay of Bengal will result in more rainfall in Chennai

      • s for the nxt 48hrs

    • Interiors can alos expect heavy rain!

  137. All the 3 systems follow almost same path this NEW season. Nothing for AP

  138. Raining again!!….mahabs-kalpakkam stretch getting battered….very heavy rain will lash southern chennai in 2 hours!

  139. again rain started

    • yes..light rain

  140. System will reach comrin area within 24 hours as well marked low pressure area and will venture into Arabian sea thereafter

  141. What a widespread rainfall

    http://tawn.tnau.ac.in/action?action=stateRainfallReport

  142. THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 3.0N 82.0E,
    IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 3.3N 81.5E

    System moving north west

    THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.

  143. I dont think that we would be receiving further rain with this system. Rains will slowly reduce from today morning onwards.

  144. I wont be surprised if Mahabalipuram/Cheyyur/Kalpakkam crosses 20cm by 8.30am

  145. @Pradeep,

    Have u removed kuzhithurai from heavy rainfall regions doc??..i cunt see it there..anyways,it sounds absurd to include it der,with an average of 140cm…u shud have pasted it in Other rainfall regions doc…..anyways ,did it cross 75cm for the year?

  146. Poring cats and dogs in Tambaram now!!…the rains are now KEA…not in evening!

  147. @pradeep,

    Meena says tata-buh bye to korattur…better luck next time…but the truth is interior korattur can never beat the rainiest place in chennai region – Meenambakkam!
