@pradeep,
Meena says tata-buh bye to korattur…better luck next time…but the truth is interior korattur can never beat the rainiest place in chennai region – Meenambakkam!
Have u removed kuzhithurai from heavy rainfall regions doc??..i cunt see it there..anyways,it sounds absurd to include it der,with an average of 140cm…u shud have pasted it in Other rainfall regions doc…..anyways ,did it cross 75cm for the year?
Doesn’t look like the clouds will touch South Chennai or Nunga…Clouds keep pouring in but seem to be just veering around Chennai and pouring elsewhere 😦
And how – I remember you were the one who clearly said “Its just a passing shower”. I was categorical that it was NOT….and you brushed me aside…mind taking my observations more seriously next time tbalaj ?
Kea– when I see the prediction.xls sheet,you seem to have missed my prediction of 425mm..I will be happy to see Chennai sail past this figure by tonite..but do include my prediction as well..tks
System has now moved West – Northwest ward, currently at 4.1N 79.3 E. Is it possible that it can continue along with eastern coast in the BOB instead of moving to Arabian sea? Experts, what’s your thoughts?
I somehow not able to get what is there in arabian sea that all systems are moving towards west …. North TN, AP & Orissa has remained almost dry during this NEM… This NEM is quite strange.
It was unfortunate still rain belt not covered heart of chennai. Places beyond guindy battered several times. We have to get cloud from ennort and port north east of chennai so that the entire north, central and south chennai get coverd.
kea observatory showed very poor rain rate so far from this system. Even kodambakkam area got some heavy showers in the last 30 minutes. could be 20 millimeters.
but still lot of spells are likely before midnight.
The close range radar continues to pick up red dotted lines with huge breadth which ensures intermittent spells for chennai city as well.
but the red lines should move from port/ennore to get huge quantity of rains. Still for this season we are yet to receive about 8 to 10 centimeters of rain within one hour. of course only depressions can bring such huge rainfall. let us see.
already it looks like a new system developing east of nagai as per latest sat. picture.
those who see radar, please see the closed range radar which is cent percent accurate. lot of big red lines exactly 50 kms, east, north east of chennai. we can expect showers quite heavy in another 1 or 2 hours. going by the long range radar picture, we can expect showers at least till evening.
now places near mahabalipuram, kalpakkam no rains right from morning. the rain belt now slowly shitfted towards chennai and south coastal ap.
but any time situations can change. In my area ( Kodambakkam), at least it would have 4 centimeters of rain in the last 45 minuts. now the sky is totally clear.
I think rains would recommence soon. we may get one or two heavy spells also. probably before this evening we might cross another 6 to 7 centimeters of rain from 8.30 AM. radar continues to be promising. what is your view.
I hope so…the windows could not be locked…the wind was so strong…almost lost a window glass here….before i could bolt it…the wind is almost a gale force…
Radar promises more heavy showers as entire east reflects lot of big red lines moving towards west. in fact already places like triplicane startd getting heavy rains.
what is your view
A low pressure area has formed over comorin area and neighbourhood and is well marked with association upper air cyclonic circulation extending upto midtropospheric levels. A trough in easterlies extends from this system to westcentral Bay of Bengal. The system is likely to move in a northwesterly direction and concentrate in to a depression over Maldives and Lakshadweep areas during next 24 hours
@pradeep,
Meena says tata-buh bye to korattur…better luck next time…but the truth is interior korattur can never beat the rainiest place in chennai region – Meenambakkam!
Poring cats and dogs in Tambaram now!!…the rains are now KEA…not in evening!
@Pradeep,
Have u removed kuzhithurai from heavy rainfall regions doc??..i cunt see it there..anyways,it sounds absurd to include it der,with an average of 140cm…u shud have pasted it in Other rainfall regions doc…..anyways ,did it cross 75cm for the year?
I wont be surprised if Mahabalipuram/Cheyyur/Kalpakkam crosses 20cm by 8.30am
I dont think that we would be receiving further rain with this system. Rains will slowly reduce from today morning onwards.
THE AREA OF CONVECTION PREVIOUSLY LOCATED NEAR 3.0N 82.0E,
IS NOW LOCATED NEAR 3.3N 81.5E
System moving north west
THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS UPGRADED TO MEDIUM.
What a widespread rainfall
http://tawn.tnau.ac.in/action?action=stateRainfallReport
System will reach comrin area within 24 hours as well marked low pressure area and will venture into Arabian sea thereafter
again rain started
yes..light rain
Raining again!!….mahabs-kalpakkam stretch getting battered….very heavy rain will lash southern chennai in 2 hours!
All the 3 systems follow almost same path this NEW season. Nothing for AP
system moving into arabian see vry fast rain may reduce
Will pull moisture from Bay of Bengal will result in more rainfall in Chennai
s for the nxt 48hrs
Interiors can alos expect heavy rain!
Kea,
Nothing is in radar but it is raining heavily in Madipakkam
S very heavy rain in Tamabram
Very heavy rain in tambaram..its extremely dark here…nothing alarming in radar though1
Radar shows red spot over south chennai!!
I feel its the last two days of NEM 2011!! 😦 ..!!…anyways i think meena shud cross 20cm for 8.30am today to 8.30am tomoro!
Guys
System should move northwards here after!
http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=indian&sat=wm5&prod=shr&zoom=&time=
delta and cuddalore dist has been severely battered.most places has received above 15cm 😮
Very heavy rains approaching Chennai..it may start before 10! 🙂
omg!! radar looks ominous
A long line of continuous rains like yesterday nite..
But today it is slightly at a lower latitude..
East is severely dark…i and tambaram and other areas of south chennai getting ready for a monstrous spell of rainfall!
Madipakkam, Medavakkam areas will get most out of this spell..
A short shower here..
south chennai in for a battering
Doesn’t look like the clouds will touch South Chennai or Nunga…Clouds keep pouring in but seem to be just veering around Chennai and pouring elsewhere 😦
entire chennai will be battered since its moving in wnw dir
Torrential downpour!
OMG…TATA SKY OUT HERE DUE TO HEAVY RAIN…as sachin nears 100th 100 😦 😦
dont worry even Ashwin will hit a century in this pitch
JTWC has increased the chances of cyclone Thane happenning to medium. But this will not affect us, its for Arabian Sea.
Only way this might affect us is end our monsoon.
dec wil have atleast 1 system
Getting pounded in besant nagar…sea very dark…I can see north chennai still not dark but south chennai getting pounded absolutely…
rains hammering s chn currently
Totally smashed by rains here in Besant Nagar…
Omg…what a rain!!…very breezy!!….its pounding mad mad in Tambaram!….this spell will give 5cm if it rains for hal hour!
As if the rain gods wanted me to eat my words, its very dark and pouring heavily at Adyar now
And how – I remember you were the one who clearly said “Its just a passing shower”. I was categorical that it was NOT….and you brushed me aside…mind taking my observations more seriously next time tbalaj ?
its raining cats & dogs in velachery.
wat a scene here!!! heavy rains with sachin in the brink of 100th 100.
Tendulkar out for 95 on flattest pitch on earth
India should declare now, follow on and give Tendulkar another chance on his homeground
:(((
dont worry dravid managed 85 only in that pitch….its good that he dint get here…Melbourne is the right place!..australi is the best place!
Cummins is waiting
Vada pochae!! 😀
Nunga’s turn is now
i really dint want sachin to score his hundreth hundred against a mediocre west indies side….what is a sachin century if its not agains australia?
I feel its the last two days of NEM 2011!! ..!!…anyways i think meena shud cross 20cm for 8.30am today to 8.30am tomoro!
What do u mean by this KAR? We have a very wet December on the way. Expect at least 20 cm next month
too early and too much for dec!
Jus check out radar and tambaram in it!!
easily 100 mm in next 1 hour
what a rain!
A kind of a storm… no visibility here in oragadam , Kancheepuram dist.. Pouring heavily here… couple of trees are uprooted due to heavy winds.
Chennai ap 98mm till 8.30 am…nunga 65mm
RR 150mm!!!!!!!!
Tendulkar misses 100th century is heart break for all the indian
i dont know why?
Kea
Till he retires he will never get his century! Sorry to say this….. 😦
I mean why Sachin missing a century is a heartbreak to Indians?
Now light rain….. The spell was very heavy for 5mins!!!!!! 😮
OMG!!!!!!! Huge thunder!!!!!!!!! 😦
Cuddalore 14cm till 8.30am 😮
My apartment is almost flooded! 😮
All heavy rains missing nunga again.
Maybe it wants to close the gap between nunga and meens which now stands at 23 cm
Kea
Sachin is 39!!!! What can we expect! 😦
I think another 100 – 150 mm is possible until Sunday
Kea– when I see the prediction.xls sheet,you seem to have missed my prediction of 425mm..I will be happy to see Chennai sail past this figure by tonite..but do include my prediction as well..tks
included, u have a fighting chance to be in top 5
next storm heading for nunga
One more spell…..
Nunga rr is now 100mm/hr!!! 😮
Now 142mm/hr!!!!
System has now moved West – Northwest ward, currently at 4.1N 79.3 E. Is it possible that it can continue along with eastern coast in the BOB instead of moving to Arabian sea? Experts, what’s your thoughts?

I won’t!
I somehow not able to get what is there in arabian sea that all systems are moving towards west …. North TN, AP & Orissa has remained almost dry during this NEM… This NEM is quite strange.
Hmmm, dry you say
Figures say different thing. We have crossed 600 mm in past 1 month
RR in nunga now 100mm!!!
It was unfortunate still rain belt not covered heart of chennai. Places beyond guindy battered several times. We have to get cloud from ennort and port north east of chennai so that the entire north, central and south chennai get coverd.

Pouring like anything…..very heavy…

Enjoyed one of good spell of rain of NEM in the train from Tambaram to Guindy. It would have easily more tha 20mm in 15 mints.
can we cross 160 cm for the year in next 30 min?
RR should be 100mm here too!!!!
yes in next 10 mins to be precise
I feel the onset of NEM 2011 shouild be 24/11 and not 24/10. THe real rains has just started
Kea, i feel that this would be our last spell for NEM 2011..
now only we are receiving the heavy NEM rains…
WE will have one or two systems in Dec….Bay got active now due to this system…
Another heavy spell started at Adyar
Tbalaj – isnt it just a “passing shower” ? To use your own sweet words….

Ashwin has a better average than Kohli

Chennai AP at 65cm from NEM…Just 20cm to go to complete normal NEM rianfall for meena
Light rain now……
The close range radar continues to pick up red dotted lines with huge breadth which ensures intermittent spells for chennai city as well.

Suresh Srinivasan – you are right north chennai rains have been less. But can your infrastructure handle it ?
Meenambakkam’s and Tambaram’s wettest month so far this year was october at 30cm and 33cm respectively…november likely to overtkae oct!
One more for nunga…….
That one misses nunga and approaches my area!!!!!
@Kea – is that drainage pipe that shows water falling – does that water drop into your rain gauge (Pictures from your web cam I mean ) ?
no,
the rain guage is located in the terrace,
Kea:

Is the system moving or stagnant for a while?
It is highly windy at Fort & Parrys! Clouds are fast moving from east.
A low pressure area has formed over comorin area and neighbourhood and is well marked with association upper air cyclonic circulation extending upto midtropospheric levels. A trough in easterlies extends from this system to westcentral Bay of Bengal. The system is likely to move in a northwesterly direction and concentrate in to a depression over Maldives and Lakshadweep areas during next 24 hours
