where did all the moisture go.. Thane was having very deep convection and had enormous moisture.. thats what the reports said. But even near the place of landfall Pondicherry recorded only 15 cms…
That is way too low for a storm of this magnitude

Sad news hearing about the deaths, I was really hopeful there wouldn’t be any.
Some footage got put together at http://westernpacificweather.com/ of areas hit from the storm. Also a forecast update was posted later today.
Please continue to stay safe everyone.

None of the models predicting any easterly wave in Jan..Light rains may occur on 7/8 according to GFS and Foreca
The next cyclone may form in April/May as pre-monsoon cyclone in BOB..and that would be called as ‘Murjan’, named by Oman..
‘Thane’ was named by Myanmar

see the withdrawals also..
chennai vasis should know how to utilise water optimally..
Water storage capacity in reservoirs in Chennai and Mumbai are almost the same.. Chennai it is 12 tmc and Mumbai it is 13 tmc..

Sel!
Retteri, Vinayagapuram, Kathirvedu, experienced heavy winds yesterday evening till morning with medium rains. But no flooding as feared!
Anyway these type of cyclones is not a disturbance nor a worry to Chennai. But Pondy and Cuddallore bears the brunt as usual in every cyclone. I think Nagai escapes from the fury of THANE. It is good to them as they are usual sufferers in every cyclones.

We live in a low lying area in South Chennai. Any fall in excess of 5 cms will inundate our area. If it exceeds 20 cms, flood water would enter few houses. When I saw the radar image yesterday evening, I gave up. I was prepared for flooding. Thank God, the yellow and red spots in radar image did not result in actual rain. I feel if Thane had hit Chennai in November, we would have certainly got 30 cms+, that was the potential of the storm; the entire city and TN coast might have been submerged in water!! Any other reason how come we did not get battered?( to tell you, the residents here are greatly relieved and happy with light/moderate rains!)

It depends on system intensity but ramanan,4m chen metro dept mentioned the system wil move into arb sea as depression.so most of the interior ,even ur area may get some decent rains about 2-3 cm if the system track falls near ur area…

Whats ur prediction for dharmapuri and bangalore belt. Is it going to face some hard rain from this noon. As of now both in dharmapuri and bangalore weather is same. Its getting light rains.

System will take a SW turn by evening and give rains to south interior TN..B’lore will get light rains from the outer fringes
By: originaldashman on December 30, 2011
at 11:52 am
Current coordinates are 12.14 -79.18. So its moving west-north-west towards Dharmapuri-Salem. Hmmmm at the most if there is SW deviation it would push towards salem before leading towards Erode-Coimbatore and finally perishing.

Dear All,
rains are not over for chennai. radar continue to pick up red lines south east of chennai 100 to 150 KMS. so winds subdued now can result in a very few heavy showers. still we can expect not less than 10 centimeters of rainfall till 8.30 this night.
