Which place will end up as the Rainfall topper in 2012 SWM
After last year’s epic rainfall race for being the wettest places during South West Monsoon. I have compiled a poll for viewers and rain followers voting for the season 2012. The link to the polls is here Poll code. The 2011 rankings can be found here – 2011 SWM rainfall rankings
1) Is pre-monsoon cyclone possible in bay this year in April/May? -> Dash
2) Will there be a Century as Chennai’s dry weather marches into 81st day? -> Pradeep
3) No sight of rain as Chennai dry phase marches towards 100 days -> Kea
4) Will any one of Laila’s relatives visit us in May 2012? -> Dash
5) Is it time for jupijove to change his name? -> Dash
2012 is a very unusual year. Won’t be suprised if we go without rain whole of April and May.
When was the last time there was fog end of March.
Interesting topic to discuss is what will Met staff in Chennai do from Jan 15th to May in their office day in day out? Any suggestions on how they can use this period.
Thanks for that statistic Jon. Explains why real feel in Chennai was a comparatively “pleasant” 36 as against 38 yesterday when the humidity was at 90% 🙂
Hmmm……I am posting here after a gap of 3 months…With just 2 days felt for April to start, I am waiting for gusty thundershowers in bangalore. I believe like every year it would be violent and gusty showers this april too.
On a very serious note sooner it rains its better as the whole patch from mudumalai to shiradi ghats are facing forest fire. Thousands of acres have been destroyed. God save the wild life!
April almost here, cant wait for humidity to increase in bangalore and bring slightly more bearable temperatures… Light rainfall expected for bangalore in the first week on April, real summer showers will start from third week of april..
Reports of heavy drizzles in Tirupattur since 6AM,this morning…..Heavy rain lashing uthangarai!!….These are the rains that were responsible for bringing in to me the love for rains….Bcos down there in far interior TN and bengloor,after the blistering day heat…there is immediately cloud build up,and super thundershowers with temperatures dropping to 23c in a few seconds itslef.whne it rains in evening!!…..wow…these are tthe real raains!…bengloor and the rest of interior TN and ktaka is gonn rock from now onwards!

Topic Contender: As on April 1
“Will there be a Century as Chennai’s dry weather marches into 81st day”
“Will there be a Century as Chennai’s dry weather marches into 74th day”
71 days (2004)
98 days (2001)
103 days (2002)
113 days (2010)
118 days (2007)
Only 2 contenders till now.
3rd option: no sight of rain as Chennai dry phase marches towards 100 days
Kea- Where do I get historical data on max / min temp on Chennai from your site?
I have it from 2005, it is under monthly summary
” WIll any one of Laila’s relatives visit us in May 2012? “
Topic 3 :
Previous Laila one

2) Will there be a Century as Chennai’s dry weather marches into 81st day? -> Pradeep
3) No sight of rain as Chennai dry phase marches towards 100 days -> Kea

Low smoke-like low clouds from SW….
Cricket News!
1) Bangladesh to appeal for Asia Cup final result reversal 😆
2) Why should i retire when i’m in top of my game? – Sachin
1) they must be dreaming
2) he is lost. In the same article he is saying he has no dreams to chase.
Will it rain before May 9th? If not then the dry run would have crosssed 118 days and this would be the longest dry phase this century
i bet it will. we wont break that record
2012 is a very unusual year. Won’t be suprised if we go without rain whole of April and May.
When was the last time there was fog end of March.

Bengaloor and Besant Nagar attacking Mount :mrgeen:
completely foggy in electronic city at the moment.. Was a cool morning today again
Radar pick up showers over open seas near Chennai
Was a horribly humid morning. When you see clouds in Chennai in summer, you know its going to be hell.
And for the statisticians, the morning temperature at 8 AM-ish read 28C with a feels like of 38C!!
enjoy the summer
hahah – but summer hasn’t started Kea – this is just… spring? 😛
38c at 8 in the morning? Joke ah?? 😀
28 C recorded temperature. With humidity (which was nearly 90%), real feel was pegged at 38C! Yes at 8. No joke.
even at noon around 12 the real feel was at 36, so how come its possible?? 😛
at noon humidity was around 50%. Humidity in the last week has been peaking at around 5AM.
Real Feel has nothing to do with time. Chennai actually gets worse through the night 😛
To further illustrate, now its almost 11 PM, even though temp says 29, the Real Feel is 34. Why? Humidity has shot up to 90% 😛
Hyd – 30 Temp, Real Feel 29, Humidity 37%
Blore – 28 Temp, Real Feel 28, Humidity 26%
Only place close to as bad as it is in Chennai is Mumbai – 28 Temp, Real Feel 32 with humidity 79%.
Curse of coastal cities is horrid weather, although Mumbai had a good Feb-March.
Rainfall ending 8.30 am today
Piravom (Ernakulam dt) 6, Tiruvaiyaru (Thanjavur dt) 3, Coonoor, Vaikom (Kottayam dt) and Neyyatinkara (Tiruvananthapuram dt) 2 each and Adiramapattinam, Orathanadu (Thanjavur dt), Konni (Pathanamthitta dt) and Kochi Airport, Tiruvattar, Kolli Hills 1 each.
thundercell over wsw
Wats going on in s.e bay???
Since a picture can speak a 1000 words:
I am dreading Saturday already.
Update: Guess this is past peak time (which is around Noon as jon mentioned) – but Real Feel of 40!!
humidity recorded at 8.30hrs today
chennai 70%
bang 75%

Is Bay going to throw a surprise in April? and we are not very far from a thurnderstorm, expecting one in second week of april.
* before second week of April.
Not expecting any surprises or thunderstorms atleast until May end or early June
@kea
why?! also if that happens then chennaities may die or there might be water scarcity so lets hope for some respite…. 😐
Don’t worry nothing will happen. We have enough water to even survive a NEM failure.
April almost here, cant wait for humidity to increase in bangalore and bring slightly more bearable temperatures… Light rainfall expected for bangalore in the first week on April, real summer showers will start from third week of april..
