Very Severe cyclone Thane to cross between Chennai and Nagapatinam

IMD an JTWC maintain hat it will cross between Chennai and Nagapatinam, close to Puducherry. Need to wait and see its impact on Chennai.

  3. Disappointment for chennai. The system seems to be hading towards karaikal. Appears like it would close just north of karaikal . Karaikal,chidambaram, mayiladuthurai and Neyveli is going to get smashed if the cyclone doesn’t loose more than 10% of its current vigor.

    • why disappointment?its already raining nonstop with really high

      • high winds

  4. steady westerly movement

  6. Heavy rain here, with winds..

  7. 1st heavy shower from the system lashing now

    • Lucky people….ENJOY..))

  8. latest radar pictures shows the eye clearly..seems to be clearly heading towards an area between Pondy and Cuddalore unless it tilts N during the last 100kms

    • Power cut in Adambakkam from 9am

  9. jon link for gfs and foreca tat showed nw movemnet….

    • how much rain will chennai get? will it be around 200 mm?

    • im on mob now.check the precip chart in foreca.com for Chennai

      • hmm..fine

  10. IMD’s forecast shows the outer band caressing South Chennai / Kalpakkam at the time of crossing..will it leave most of Chennai with just 50-60mm?

    • s. i think that south chennai will get more rains….north chennai will get around 5 to 8cm

    • hope so

  14. Two disappointments in a day – India’s performance vs. Aus and Thane’s impact on Chennai :-(

    eye visible here too

  16. 81.9e 11.95n

    • 11.89 -82.11

      • seeing the aruns link i would say it crossed 82e

    • the radar confirms the general belief that there wont by any rains near the eye! :-)

      • aama.ther wont be any rain surrounding the eye..but before eye reaches the land,there will be heavyfall with maximum winds in tat particular area..

  21. both gfs n foreca predicts a wnw movement from 82e

  22. Cyclone outer band is still 50 Km from Chennai

  23. NW MOVEMENT AS ON 9.30AM
    http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/adt/06B-list.txt

  24. Heavy wind. No rain.

  25. System is currently at 11.9 and would go down to 11.8 within 24 hours.. Which means the system is moving west and south west as per JTWC report.

  26. Radar looks amazing.. Eye can be ssen in the radar.. Seems this is moving in westerly direction..

  28. In Intensity Thane may not be like Jal, but when it comes to bringing rains to Chennai, I think Thane is following Jal’s path. Although radar looks full of orange and red spots, they seem to dissipate once they are near chennai.

  29. let it make a landfall in pondi but wen it make landfall there,am sure the heaviest convectional clouds will be on n -nw quadrant..tat is morethan enough to make floods in chennai…

    Is it the eye 250 Kms South East of chennai…..Looks like its the eye with sqall wrapped around…

    • If its the eye of the cyclone…then boy o boy it looks dangerous

  31. Selva where is it now?

    • http://www.imd.gov.in/section/dwr/dynamic/doppler-caz.htm

      Exact 250 Km south east of Chennai

  32. system not likely to go down in intensity ..shear value luks highly favourable for landfall with same intensity

  33. Guys,I am suppose to visit pondicherry on 31st morning for year end trip. How bad it would be on 31st if the cyclone hits Pondi on 30th. Shall I scrap off the whole trip ?

    • if i were u. I would leave right away to witness the cyclone

    • Myself and my friends too had the same plan..but now we dropped it

  34. 12.04 -82.33 moving north east ?

  35. eyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  36. THE CYCLONE IS ALSO MOVING OVER WATERS WITH LOWER HEAT
    CONTENT THAT SHOULD, ALONG WITH INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
    DECREASING OUTFLOW, INDUCE SOME WEAKENING PRIOR TO LANDFALL. AFTER
    LANDFALL, INTERACTION WITH ROUGH TERRAIN WELL INLAND FROM THE
    RELATIVELY FLAT COASTAL AREA WILL LEAD TO STEADY DISSIPATION

  37. http://www.imd.gov.in/section/nhac/dynamic/obtrack.htm

    IMD has been a bit slow with Thane. They are following JTWC updates.

  38. RADAR LOOKS VERY DEADLY…Heavy Rains is to start

  39. winds before the rain

  40. POWER CAME HERE

    • possibly there will be complete shutdown from evening

  41. wind noise is getting louder and louder

  42. last one and half hours, it moved only in westerly direction…

    • there was powercut in velachery from 7 am before i left for office..don’y know the current status

  43. any power failures in other areas?

    • there was powercut in velachery from 7 am before i left for office..don’y know the current status
