For all the talk about urbanisation and heat,…Benagalooru did not even cross 34c last year…..its just that by nature,some summers are warmer and others milder….Last May Bengaluru presented a true Hill station…it would have been a big difference from 55c real feel chennai and 30c real fee @bengloor!!
But yeah,one thing….Tpt’s weather station is situated in the Sacred heart college,which is in the heart of the crowded Tpt town….Just a few KM’s drive towards either side Jolarpet or towards alangayam(wich are small villages) in winter,u feel as if the temperatures start plummeting…..So to be more precise,”Jolarpet” in within the tirupattur taluka might be the coldest place in TN plains…..
ANd Urbanisation might infact not greatly influence temperatures….if then why suddenly fot the past two years urbanised Nungambakkam’s Min temp are lower than Meenambakkam?…..
Bengloor has has lowest ever recorded temp in Jan below 13 for three times in the last decade….lowest being 12.1 in Jan of 2009 ….not sure abt dec…But Bengloor AP will easily record 2-3 degrees lower temps
tptr is smaller wen compared to blore(urban).so dnt get surprised if tptr sees lower temp than bengloor.i have never seen blore in single digit mark.12.7 is the lowest temp recorded in recent times

North,Northwestern Tn(Dharmapuri/Krishnagiri/Tirupattur/Vellore) may come up with tempertures below 12c…Banglore likely to drop to single digit minimum!
jon,ur post (new vdo of thane landfall) luks more scary…it luks more or less like a landfall of an atlantic ocean cyclone,….no v can put it in tis way, cat5 super cyclone thane…. tis is one of the deadliest cyclone..
deadly cyclone.effective video displaying the ferocity of thane.who can withstand this ? i should say we have poorvajenma punniyam to escape from the fury.
even gud preparation for the cyclone would not have been a success.such is the effect of this thane.we dont want like this again.
Chennai and chennai AP got 12mm. Very surprising to see both having same amount of rainfall. Kea’s place which is barely one km from imd chennai got only 7.9mm.
The real tragedy of cyclone ‘Thane’ which hit south west Tamil Nadu on 30 December is that it has already been forgotten by the media.
Yet, over 50 lives have been lost, an estimated one million people (yes, one million) have been affected: a whopping 200,000 homes destroyed, hundreds of fishing boats lost and tens of thousands of hectares of crops damaged.
The Development Promotion Group (DPG), a Chennai based NGO immediately sent out a team to assess what they could do to help. DPG blends an experience that combines long-term development work with quick and effective response to disasters. They are a well established NGO, having worked in South India since 1986 and on several occasions responded to disaster situations – including the tragic Tsunami of 2004. Today, DPG launched its appeal for long term rehabilitation work.
minimum temperatures all across south india except for extreme south peninsula and kerala are expected to fall atleast 2 – 3 degrees below normal over the next 1 week to 10 days.. the last cold spell for S. India.. Summer is expected to take over after the 20th of January
Wow coimbatore minium 13??!!….S,coimbatore can drop to 13 in some rare years….But then if cbt is gonna drop to 13,wtch out for Dharmapuri-Tirupattur…..they may come close to breaking that 10.2 degree mark set by Tirupattur!
2day Evening rain marked a big bulb for imd….btw yestrday itself i tld ,”winds r favourable for sum rain”….i never thought it wil be so soon…. Tday clouds came 4m E-SE-S.. very strange But rain clouds came 4m east-N.east..
NEM rains ceased according to ramanan and it rains today..!!….
What will Ramanan call this??…Veppa salanam?? ….He might say rain was due to heat(all places in south india running upto 6degrees above normal in Minimum temps…
Kea,
Any idea what will these rains be termed??…rain due to winter heat?
Usually, after a system crosses TN coast, the westerlies wud set in briefly bringing dry and hot winds..but the Thane-westerlies have brought us surprise moisture from land..
Light to moderate rain would occur at a few places over Vellore, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Tiruvannamalai, Salem, Namakkal, Erode, Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Dindugal, Karur, Tiruchirapalli, Perambalur, Ariyalur, Theni, Madurai, Sivagangai and Virudhunagar districts of Tamil Nadu.
What the hell….Y dint ramanana predict rain for ChennaiKanchi,Tiruvallur coastal areas…instead predicting rain for interiors!
Summer?!! Come on! Blore is at 27 Max and 18 Min – thats like winter in Chennai Everyone will be out with ear muff, sweater and rubbing their hands together like its snowing.
south coastal andhrapradesh has been receiving useful moderate showers from early morning – right from machlipatnam to nellore.
on what grounds IMD announces north east monsson rains cease, for which there is no proper basis. Still we could get north easterly winds and minimum temperature around 22 C. More over anticyclone not exist nearby coast, which is the reason why south coastal andhra getting rains.
we hope for some showers to chennai as well as day progress of later part of this week.
I am a bit puzzled by this entry. The headline reads, “Cold weather unlikely again”, but the entry says, ” It seems likely that there will be sub 20 minimums anytime soon.” So, which is it?
Tirupattur – 17c (+1 from normal)
Bangalore – 19c( +4 from normal)
Dharmapuri – 20c(+2 from normal)
Tiruttani – 22c(+5 from normal)
Vellore – 23c(+5 from normal)
Chennai – 24c(+3 from normal)
Northeast monsoon rains have ceased over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Kerala and adjoining parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka on today , the 10th January 2012.
Big pattern changes in winter coming? Arctic Oscillation Flips to Negative
Austria Friday: found itself buried under 4 feet of snow, creating chaos and disruption of traffic and power supply. Snowfall trapped some 15,000 tourists at ski resorts on the Arlberg Mountain. High winds are also whipping the nation. An important rail line that connects Vienna and Innsbruck with western Austria and Switzerland was to be closed until Sunday. Two rail lines that connect western Austria with Germany were also closed.
India Friday: Hailstorm in parts of New Delhi and Amritsar. 3 feet snow closed down Kashmir’s main highway, and also knocked out power and telephone lines, plunging most of state powerless and cut-off from rest of the country. Temperatures in Leh plunged to minus 18.8 deg C. Many parts of Himachal Pradesh received snowfall, including surprisingly low altitude areas of the state. Records tumbled as many of these areas received snow after three decades or more. Kangra received snow after a gap of a whopping 67 years. Several villages of Pathankot and Hoshiarpur districts experienced snowfall on Saturday morning, the first in recorded history.
These two events may look unconnected but they need not. They occurred the same time as the AO flipped to its weakly negative mode.

south coastal andhrapradesh has been receiving useful moderate showers from early morning – right from machlipatnam to nellore.
on what grounds IMD announces north east monsson rains cease, for which there is no proper basis. Still we could get north easterly winds and minimum temperature around 22 C. More over anticyclone not exist nearby coast, which is the reason why south coastal andhra getting rains.
we hope for some showers to chennai as well as day progress of later part of this week.

I am a bit puzzled by this entry. The headline reads, “Cold weather unlikely again”, but the entry says, ” It seems likely that there will be sub 20 minimums anytime soon.” So, which is it?

Big pattern changes in winter coming? Arctic Oscillation Flips to Negative
Austria Friday: found itself buried under 4 feet of snow, creating chaos and disruption of traffic and power supply. Snowfall trapped some 15,000 tourists at ski resorts on the Arlberg Mountain. High winds are also whipping the nation. An important rail line that connects Vienna and Innsbruck with western Austria and Switzerland was to be closed until Sunday. Two rail lines that connect western Austria with Germany were also closed.
India Friday: Hailstorm in parts of New Delhi and Amritsar. 3 feet snow closed down Kashmir’s main highway, and also knocked out power and telephone lines, plunging most of state powerless and cut-off from rest of the country. Temperatures in Leh plunged to minus 18.8 deg C. Many parts of Himachal Pradesh received snowfall, including surprisingly low altitude areas of the state. Records tumbled as many of these areas received snow after three decades or more. Kangra received snow after a gap of a whopping 67 years. Several villages of Pathankot and Hoshiarpur districts experienced snowfall on Saturday morning, the first in recorded history.
These two events may look unconnected but they need not. They occurred the same time as the AO flipped to its weakly negative mode.
