  19. Very heavy rainfall of 22 cm was recorded in Harippad in Alappuzha district, followed by Thiruvananthapuram city (18) in the 24 hours ended at 8.30 AM on saturday morning. How the western side got this much rain; it seems, more rain than cyclone path?

    • Pull effect

      By: Pradeep John on December 31, 2011
      at 7:43 pm

      • It is due to moisture incursion from bay of bengal, arabian sea and some from the little far-away indian ocean. All of these led Thane to cause heavy rain in Kerala which is ideally located for this kind of moisture incursion.

  28. Pradeep,

    On an average one cyclone crosses TN in every two years…may i have the details since 2000? …i think the average has increased to one cyclone per year!

  29. Destruction makes way for development…i have never seen a cyclone crossing…Lol..not that comedy piece Jal……i would like to see one…lets fancy our chances with murjan in april/may..!!

  30. NEM for TN as a whole is likely to end up over 20% above normal….will make it an excess NEM yet again…!!…it was excess in 2005,2007,2008,2010 also!!

    Fifth year since 2005 TN is facing excess NEM….

    But 2011 SWM was 2 percent below normal for TN…2010 SWM was 20% abov normal…

    For TN as whole 2010 was far better than 2011!!

      • The answer to that is better city infrastructure. Better drains, better civic response. Wishing away the weather is futile. Atleast these destructions make people demand and expect more from the government. Look at Chennai – despite the oncoming NEM, they dug up and left drains open. Pathetic – luckily Thane hit Pondy / Cuddalore – if it had come to Chennai, we would have suffered like a village.

  32. It is quite warm and humidity levels also conducive. Quite strange for december afternoon. chances of thunderstorms from sea not ruled out during evenings. already we noticed some heavy showers 100 KMS east/north east of chennai.

    probably minimum temperatures would stay at 21 & 22. no dry chill for some more days, till the moisture totally disappear or easterly winds loosing strength.

  43. Whatever other mght say. To me Thane was a major dissapointment.

    We might have got almost 100 mm from it, but never actually got heavy rain. I know some people think it was heavy. It was infact not. It felt heavy because of the wind.

    At no time, did we get more than 10 mm in an hour. In november we sometimes even got more than 20 mm in an hour

  69. News Item in CNN-IBN
    BANGALORE: Year-end revelers in this tech hub, home to thousands of young IT professionals from across India, have turned weather watchers as cyclone Thane threatens to rain out the New Year-eve bash.

    Chennai, which is also home to thousands of IT professionals, is in the direct path of the cyclone and it has been raining cats and dogs for the past 2 days. And all you whine about is Bangalore missing the party? What about Chennai – do you think people sit inside their homes and sing bhajans for New Year celebrations?

    • The Winner is IMD and CMC

      JTWC came close second followed by GFS

      By: Pradeep John on December 30, 2011
      at 5:13 pm

      • How come IMD is winner? Didn’t it say it will hit Chennai until changing its forecast on Wednesday following JTWC’s forecast?

        IMD director from delhi was on Headlines today this morning. He has IMD was 100 % accurate in predicting this cyclone. From day 1 they got it right. I disagree

        By: keaweather on December 30, 2011
        at 5:22 pm

        • and what about > 25 cm rainfall predictions from IMD?

    We may even overtake Pondi in terms of rain. Let’s see.

  79. It looks like some heavy showers for chennai as east, south east terribly red lined.

    but a very strange aspect i noticed though there are red lines the rain rate is less than 10 MM per hour.

    quite strange. but i hope for better organised heavy showers till tomorrow early morning, as winds would start blowing from north east and east from now on, as the core system has not impact now. normal easterlies would dominate.

      • I have this question. Once system is located south west of us, won’t winds flow from north east pass through Chennai towards the system? Wouldn’t that cause rains?

  91. Thane the movie directed by BoB, Produced by SST; New year Release

    Movie review:
    First half of the movie was widely anticipated by the audience, for its action packed sequences. But it turned out to be a dud. It was boring and anti-climactic for some, sorrowful for few. The audiences were in no mood to stay after the intermission. But those who stayed have been treated to some better than anticipated second half. The screenplay has stayed very tight and kept the anticipation and interest alive of the audiences. Though no one expects a climax, the screenplay has been engaging
