  3. !!!!! Pongal Special Interview with Thala of our Blog – Kea !!!!!

    1) Where are you from? Native place? Mother tongue?

    2) Why haven’t u learnt even a single basic word in Tamil even after being in Chennai with a weather station for so many years?

    3) Haven’t you even heard a single Tamil word while running hundreds of kms for marathons in Chennai?

    4) Will you say you do not know anything about Pongal?

    Fans and Viewers expecting candid replies! :-)
    :-D

    • Wow a 1000 likes for ur questions!!…..U have hit the nail on its head! :D

    • ha ha…. :)

  4. Happy Pongal to Kea Community! :-)

  5. Sel,

    I need ur review on Nanban in one word/line! :-)

  6. Very cold outside!!….very nippy!

  7. Kea …First “Namban”…now “Nanbam” …..Y dis Kolaveri ? :P :P

  8. temp already 22 at chennai ap.mite drop to 18

  9. Chennai AP was close in bening the coldest plains in TN plains yesterday!!

    Tirupattur records 18 degrees(+2 above normal)

    Vellore also records 18c(normal)

    Meanwhile Bengaluru records 17 degreees!

  10. Getting very very cold outside here….colder than yesterday!!

  11. ” why suddenly fot the past two years urbanised Nungambakkam’s Min temp are lower than Meenambakkam?…..”

    yest’s min

    chennai – 22
    chennai ap – 19

    • this is not the answer for what happened in the last two years….whenn chennai recorded 17degrees,chennai AP recorded 20 degrees minimum…

  12. chennai ap records a min of 19 yest

  13. Kea,

    Did u know what is “Namban”?..are u still alive ?

    • he’s simply pretending :|

      • it took me so much to find out what kolaveri was. Dont tell me Nanbam is some sequel to it?

  14. bay to be watched again???????
    http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/archdat/indian/southern/vis/LATEST.jpg

    • still some flow is there in south and s.east bay….so it has to be watched…

  15. thanks for promoting nanban in tis blog…..

  16. Bengaluru HAL AP 15.4 minimum.. some semblance of winter at last…

  17. http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/archdat/indian/southern/ir/LATEST.jpg

  18. Kea went to watch Nanban,and has not returned yet :P :D

    • What is Namban? Btw I am enjoying the trashing at the WACA

  19. Chennai’s 2010 was better than 2011…2011 was very bad,chennai touched 42 on 2-3 occasions…real feel 57c~

  20. 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!!

    • chennai saw one of the coolest summers in 2011.touched 40c only on 3-5 occasions with fantastic rains throughout the year :razz:

  21. 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…..

  22. 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?…..

  23. http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/bangaluru2.htm

    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

  24. @jon,

    When tirupattur drops below 13 every year regularly for one-two days…isnt it possible for bengaluru to fll below 13 atleast 4-5 times?

    • 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

      • Bengaluru HAL AP recorded 9.4 in dec 2010..

        • Bengaluru HAL AP also recorded 10 to 12 quite a few times this winter also…

  25. Will Australia take lead today. As long as Warner is there, anything is possible

    • Poor batting display by the Aussies..they cant clear the deficit of 12 runs today itself! A lot to cheer for Indian bowlers!

  26. Batting last will be next to impossible on the WACA pitch.

    MSD decided we will bat first if we win the toss and bowl Aussie out in 4th innings

    Clarke decided we will have to bat only once anyway, let’s ask MSD what he wants to do

  27. what is the new title for kea’s blog post on 20th January ?

    • My guess is “9 months to go for NEM’2012″

      • It rained for more than 30 mins in Nagai today morning

        • Important Announcement!!!

          If India survives Day 1, Kea will organize a get together and host a party for all regular members of Kea WordPress blog. Otherwise, he will shut down all his weather related sites!!!

          • this wud be better…

            If India survives Day 1, Kea will organize a get together and host a party for all regular members of Kea WordPress blog before shutting down all his weather related sites!!!
            :-D

          • looks like party is over :D

  28. Chennai should drop to 18 degrees!

    • Bangalore rarely drops below 13

  29. North,Northwestern Tn(Dharmapuri/Krishnagiri/Tirupattur/Vellore) may come up with tempertures below 12c…Banglore likely to drop to single digit minimum!

  30. Temp likely to dip from tomoro!!…atlast!

  31. 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..

  32. showers here for past 5 mins….

  33. http://devconsultancygroup.blogspot.com/2012/01/dpg-appeal-cyclone-thane-long-term.html

    • awesome

  34. http://www.videofy.me/her6z7e2/354019

  35. Less than 16 hours to go for Perth Test – some people had Party in the pitch drinking beer. Totally shocking – Issue taken up with Cricket Australia

    • whatever be the state of wicket result is quite imminent

  36. lat video of cylone thane – cuddalore :o :o

    • 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.

  37. power outage enters 12th day in cuddalore dist.hopefully will return bfore pongal

    http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/tamil-nadu/article2795453.ece

  38. More places in Tirunelveli district got some rain yesterday. Sivagiri got around 120 Mm yesterday

  39. 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.

  40. 91w ,System in s.china sea…

  41. Kanyakumari getting battered by heavy rains in last two days

    Pechiparai – 73 mm
    Thiruvattar – 65
    Perunchani – 40
    Agastiswaram – 30

    Expect Kuzhithurai and Thucklay to join the list when IMD report is out

  42. 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.

    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..

    • he will term it as feeble trough over w.central bay

  54. Light Rain has just arrived in chrompet

  56. No rains near parrys! Dark clouds ol over

    What the hell….Y dint ramanana predict rain for ChennaiKanchi,Tiruvallur coastal areas…instead predicting rain for interiors!

    • Forget Ramanan even we could not predict this unexpected rains which normally we do that, in fact now a days many look forward to our information

      • Follow http://twitter.com/chennaiweather

  58. Rain rate may be over 30 mm/hr. Easily more than 2 cm can be had from this sudden downpour.
    Surprisingly kea’s site is not showing any rain.

    • kea site may be down…hvy rain in nunga from 5.30

      • You’re correct rajkumar. Roads are absolutely flooded in no time.

  59. Now getting heavier

  60. Moderate showers in Nunga for the past 15 minutes and stlll continuing

  61. surprise rain … enjoying it.

  62. This TS came from NW???How ???

  63. FORECAST FOR CHENNAI CITY AND NEIGHBOURHOOD:

    For next 24 hours:

    The sky conditions would be partly cloudy. Minimum temperature would be around 23 degree Celsius.

    IMD fails to predict rain

  64. Very heavy rain here at ambattur ind estate.Might be 1 to 2cm.

  65. Pouring in t.nagar with winds for 10 mins

    • they have been giving rains to central and coastal AP from yesterday..now its our turn as they r moving south..

  69. feels like summer in bangalore, its warm, smells like summer and best of all the first thunder clouds of the year..

    • Feels like mid-late march.. flowers that bloom then have already bloomed in many places..

    • 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.

      • not 27 max.. it is at 30 max :( cyclone thane messed up our winter x-(

        • Fair enough – but do you know how bitterly cold 18 is for us?! :D

  70. 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.

    ss.

    • NEM will be declared withdrawn if 5 continues days of dry spell with reduced moisture level.

  71. 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?

    nur der BvB!

    • Kea’s all titles are like private tv news headlines. It creates sensation. For TRP rating, kea is having titles like this.

    • No jack fruit this summer for Tamilnadu as Thane destroyed almost all trees in Cuddalore district.

      • 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.
