There may be some development in south west arabian sea close to somalya coast.Winds started to circulate in upper levels.It might intensify to a surface low.
http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/tropic/real-time/indian/winds/wm5wv.html
This weather would continue for another 2 weeks.. temperature would not exceed 38 or 39 until after the 20th.. So we would need to manage severe heat for 2 months after that as we would get decent rains only after the 15th of July. Also Khatri probably only in June for about 20 days..
cyclonic circulation over TN & BOB along with trough to persist for another 5 days to a week which would ensure that temp’s stay in check
Mr. Narayanan.. These temps will do nothing for the approaching monsoon.. it will not affect it in any way.. The bay temperatures are where they need to be and only getting warmer.. the Indian ocean di pole is in a neutral phase and would turn negative during july & august so nothing to worry about there. wind directions are changing as required & moisture is beginning to cross the equator.. all signs of an approaching healthy monsoon wind.. So we are on track to recieve normall to above normal rainfall this SW monsoon season except for the month of July during which high speed easterlies might blow away moisture from the east coast of the southern peninsula

C’mon guys..letz discuss this!!!
Heavy rains with strong winds lashed Nagapattinam at 6:30 AM today; Trichy district received very heavy showers yday night!
one more thing i forgot to mention yesterday is that we are still waiting for our pre monsoon low to form in the bay.. it is a yearly phenomenon but has not happened yet.. The arrival of the monsoon is expected around the 20th of May over Andaman.. So the low can form anytime from today uptil the 19th of May.. We could get light rainfall from this low.. as most rain would be concentrated over southern tip of penninsula
The low will form in Bay on May 10..it will develop into a strong cyclonic system and will move towards Orissa/West Bengal and cross the coast around May 15.
very doubtful arnold.. I feel the low will at most turn into a depression.. it will form somewhere around south central, south west BOB.. near the Andhra coast and then move down brushing the coast and would lay centred at the southern tip for a couple of days before it picks up a little strength & moves west across the gulf of mannar and over to kerala & the arabian sea..
More sightings of Sunday’s strange object!
