Thatz wat he already told us..he has deployed some secret friends on the banks of Talacauvery who will be in the guise of dhobis or cattle rearers..once the drizzle starts, they wud start measuring the amount using handy instruments and transmit the data live to Data Man..thatz how entire World is able to see the rainfall figures of Talacauvery with a delay of few minutes…. 😈
That idea was scrapped bcoz of thunderkid..bcoz he will fail and will fast at home until he is made the winner..thatz y he got another name “Anna Hazare of Kea blog”
PS: thats also like asking out of 60 days in Chennai, can you say how many were hot …hahahaha

Great compilation. What software you are using to compile the post made by members of this blog. If you give the s/w name it will be of good use to me as a teaching professional.
Mr. Pradeep I think you missed our friend Selcyclone while counting the top posters. He posted under different names and now posts as selvanfun. He may’ve joined late in our blog but ran our blog single handedly for several weeks.
I am sure he will beat arjunlv and supersai by a comfortable margin for the total number of posts.

Come on…This August is not Bad for chennai..its only for Nungambakkam….Meenambakkam has got 177mm this august…almost equal to its 2010 and 2011 augusts…Meena already some 150mm ahead of Nunga…And for the first time a normal to excess september forecast for TN,(after two deficient years in 2010 and 2011),Meena’s lead is only going to extend….And btw this blog is crashing for me in Google chrome since the past 10-12months…so only if its very interesting i turn on to this blog nowadays….
Lol…Going back to the first comment of mine in this blog ….Usually people will feel embarassed going back and looking at their old comments…But i am pleasaantly surprised that my comment was precise and with a good english language some 3 years back..i was 15 then!! 😮
“Mr.Venkat i think its rather called the north EAST monsoon.The sudden spurt in temperatures is mainly because of clear skies rather than anything else.
You cant expect cool weather in chennai being near the equator.If not for the SW monsoon chennai would have been very hot right from 15 March to 15 October.
But definitely, this year,we can see that the southern and south western suburbs of chennai have got pretty heavy rains,especially in the months of july and august.This includes Tambaram,Airport,Pallavaram and the surrounding areas.As of now 10-Oct the rainfall data is-
There was a lovely band surrounding the moon some 15 mins ago..did anyone notice it? a moon band… sign for a heavy rain…read in an article long time back..i reckon… can anyone explain this phenomenon?
I can see thunderjove in 2009 itself..also u have missed Martin (Bengloor thala)…there was one guy called Vinodh (not VK 😀 ) who was very knowledgeable about weather
Pradeep, History of originaldashman for u..hope u have not forgotten it !!!
I stared appearing with the name originaldashman in Feb, 2011 as mentioned by Data. But i was active from 2010 itself..with various names just for fun (even i don remember how many 😛 )..after a long time it was finally discovered by Kea..
Later i started posting as ‘-‘..then many existing members had fun posting as double dash, triple dash and quadruple dash and started spoiling my reputation..even there was an historic spat between KR and jon..according to KR, jon was the Single Dash..jon would plead to Kea to prove that KR was wrong…still invokes laughter in me when i think about it! That was the time Guna Sir came to my rescue and supported me…
The confusion prompted Kea to jump into the scene and give a “Brilliant” idea..ban anonymous posting method and introduce mandatory Registration for posting in Kea blog !!! 🙂

@Pradeep John– great compilation..I am surprised to note that I have commented 476 times..it has now become a habit to visit Keablog every day and possibly every hour between 7pm and 11pm during SWM and possibly every minute during NEM!
I don’t know whether it was you who said it, but you were right.Nunga faced Cholavaram’s fate 184 cm and failure this year. cholavaram 190 cm 2010 and 110 cm 2011
Yes it was me who said that “Nungambakkam will have the fate of Cholavaram in 2012.”…there is something called the Law of Averages…it will work everytime!
Last 5 years August and September rainfall in Meenambakkam – \

August – 98mm
September – 124mm

September – 147.2mm
2011
——
August – 191.3mm
September – 168.9mm
2012
——
August – 177.9mm
September – There is every chance Meenambakkam that Meena can get more than 178mm this september thanks tthe absence of La Nina conditions like in 2010,2011 which caused deficient september ra rainfall in TN….2009 might well repeat itself
dude u are misinformed….Dont go by the averages that IMD chennai is providing …they are not having the same base year….for instance Nungambakkam has an average of 140cm on the 42 year period base….But in IMD delhi its 139cm from a 30 year base……Meena’s average on the same 42 year old average is 144cm,against the 140cm of Nungambakkam….
Here is my compilation of TN avergaes with constant base years….The usual normality is meena dominates for 4 years,and then 1 or 2 years for nungambakkam…..the last time nunga scored over meena before 2010 was in 2005 …so take my word,Meena will rule for the next for odd years
@kar, nunga beat meena in 2011, 2010 ,2007(i think meena didn’t get rains from dep) and 2005.But when nunga beats meena, it beats it by quite a large margin
Vs West Indies in India – 121 runs at 40.33
Vs Australia in Australia – 143 runs at 35.75 (2nd best in that series)
Vs New Zealand in India till now – 69 runs at 69.00
Most of the runs came batting with Tailenders. Had he got time with regular batsmen he would have scored runs. He has the better technique than Dhoni in Swinging conditions.
Vs West Indies in India – 218 runs at 43.60
Vs England in England – 273 runs at 34.12
Vs Australia in Australia – 285 runs at 35.87
Vs New Zealand in India till now – 36 runs at 18.00
What the **** the rainafall continues for ….days in Karnataka
Kea pls store this – Wettest Cyclones for Chennai since 1995
1.Cyclonic Storm BOB 02 in June 1996 – 690 mm in 3 days
2.Deep Depression BOB 05 in October 2005 – 606 mm in 4 days
3.Cyclone Ogni in October 2006 – 449 mm in 5 days
4.Cyclone Phyan in November 2009 – 440 mm in 6 days
5.Cyclone Nisha in November 2008 – 400 mm in 4 days
All India SWM Rainfall Toppers – 01.06.12 to 31.08.12 – Cherrapunji maintain lead, Agumbe and Kollur are still in race.
—————————-
It is 90 days into the monsoon, the lead of Cherrapunji of nearly is around 2700 mm. In 2011, we had 77 stations which crossed 4000 mm mark till 31st August. This year the list has gotten shrunken to just 30 stations. Apart from Cherrapunji, only HRF places from two states (Maharashtra 12 stations and Karnataka 17 stations) are in the list.
Ashwin has 49 wickets in 8 test matches (including the ongoing).
Philander got to 50 wickets in 7 matches recently and is joint second fastest ever.
If tomorrow Ashwin gets the last wicket. He would be thethird fastest in the World and also the fastest Indian ever to do so. Hope Dhoni gives the ball to Ashwin.
KeaWeather Archives 
Make it very clear..Its for “Nungambakkam”
Why should i get angry with dash…..i like him a lot……he has given me a nice name “DATA MAN”
😎
But nothing to worry about for Nungambakkam…U have beat the following augusts 2000(54mm),2001(47mm),2004(48mm) and 2005(56mm) black and blue…
Even though dash makes fun in the blog….he really appreciates the efforts i take to get these rainfall figures…
😎 😎
Thatz wat he already told us..he has deployed some secret friends on the banks of Talacauvery who will be in the guise of dhobis or cattle rearers..once the drizzle starts, they wud start measuring the amount using handy instruments and transmit the data live to Data Man..thatz how entire World is able to see the rainfall figures of Talacauvery with a delay of few minutes…. 😈
Best lines of dash so far…..cant stop laughing
Atlast i have got a fan in Kea blog… 🙂 Ungalukku theriyudhu..aana Kea’kuthann therila enna pathi 😀
Eminent person who vanished from this blog because they were not able to handle DASH
KN for short form – Karthik Narayanan
KR – Karthik Raghavan
One malayali girl used to post i forget her name..
Its ur time Dash enjoy…..no one can stand to your creativity
but you cant vanish KEA because it is his blog….!
malayali girl???? girls are very rare in Kea blog!

enna katha uriyaaaaa…? @dash
Ehsan what happened to the xls file you used to have for month wise winner for predicting the volume of rainfall in a month
That idea was scrapped bcoz of thunderkid..bcoz he will fail and will fast at home until he is made the winner..thatz y he got another name “Anna Hazare of Kea blog”

Wow! amazing to know these statistics pradeep John, thanx a lot!!!
@Pradeep,
Come on…This August is not Bad for chennai..its only for Nungambakkam….Meenambakkam has got 177mm this august…almost equal to its 2010 and 2011 augusts…Meena already some 150mm ahead of Nunga…And for the first time a normal to excess september forecast for TN,(after two deficient years in 2010 and 2011),Meena’s lead is only going to extend….And btw this blog is crashing for me in Google chrome since the past 10-12months…so only if its very interesting i turn on to this blog nowadays….
turn on to this blog thru IE
And this year so far the top 3 wettest day of SWM for TN are in this order….
1.July 15 – Around 14mm
2.August 25 – Around 12mm
3.August 26 – Around 10mm
There in no doubt that these top 3 places will be replaced this september..
Jus seeing …North chennai had a worst august..Cholavaram down at the dungeons with 25mm …
Lol…Going back to the first comment of mine in this blog ….Usually people will feel embarassed going back and looking at their old comments…But i am pleasaantly surprised that my comment was precise and with a good english language some 3 years back..i was 15 then!! 😮
“Mr.Venkat i think its rather called the north EAST monsoon.The sudden spurt in temperatures is mainly because of clear skies rather than anything else.
You cant expect cool weather in chennai being near the equator.If not for the SW monsoon chennai would have been very hot right from 15 March to 15 October.
But definitely, this year,we can see that the southern and south western suburbs of chennai have got pretty heavy rains,especially in the months of july and august.This includes Tambaram,Airport,Pallavaram and the surrounding areas.As of now 10-Oct the rainfall data is-
Minambakkam – 49cm
Nungambakkam – 27cm”
There was a lovely band surrounding the moon some 15 mins ago..did anyone notice it? a moon band… sign for a heavy rain…read in an article long time back..i reckon… can anyone explain this phenomenon?
wow nice to know the history of kea blog very interesting ,i think i first posted in july or august 2010
In all probability another dry spell for next few days. Can only hope for some surprise shower
@Data,
I can see thunderjove in 2009 itself..also u have missed Martin (Bengloor thala)…there was one guy called Vinodh (not VK 😀 ) who was very knowledgeable about weather
Pradeep, History of originaldashman for u..hope u have not forgotten it !!!
I stared appearing with the name originaldashman in Feb, 2011 as mentioned by Data. But i was active from 2010 itself..with various names just for fun (even i don remember how many 😛 )..after a long time it was finally discovered by Kea..
Later i started posting as ‘-‘..then many existing members had fun posting as double dash, triple dash and quadruple dash and started spoiling my reputation..even there was an historic spat between KR and jon..according to KR, jon was the Single Dash..jon would plead to Kea to prove that KR was wrong…still invokes laughter in me when i think about it! That was the time Guna Sir came to my rescue and supported me…
The confusion prompted Kea to jump into the scene and give a “Brilliant” idea..ban anonymous posting method and introduce mandatory Registration for posting in Kea blog !!! 🙂
atleast now can we know ur real name, age and ur locality in Chennai.
It would be nice heading for September ” Dash, double dash…..now called as Originaldashman to disclose his identity’

Nunga rulez.It has higher average.But this year is a completely different story

4 odd years
@kar imd delhi says meena is 140cm ,kolkota 129 cm something else i saw said 138.I think last was mumbai.Where is it given 144?
@Pondy.extremely hot and humid. Hope to see some TS coming this way
The worst thing for you to happen is for it to rain 100mm in Nunga and cuddalore and trace in pondi.
2 cm in pondy yesterday while 1 mm in cuddalore
What next? Early morning showers with monsterous thunders….!
good chance of a shower later tonite
clouds have fizzled out 😦
Another hot and humid in Pondy. Hope TS for Chennai today, not Pondy
@kar, nunga beat meena in 2011, 2010 ,2007(i think meena didn’t get rains from dep) and 2005.But when nunga beats meena, it beats it by quite a large margin
I don’t know why hindu removed weather from its archives.It was very useful.

Most of the runs came batting with Tailenders. Had he got time with regular batsmen he would have scored runs. He has the better technique than Dhoni in Swinging conditions.
Can you do the same analysis for Sachin?
Sachin Batting averages in his last 4 series
Vs West Indies in India – 218 runs at 43.60
Vs England in England – 273 runs at 34.12
Vs Australia in Australia – 285 runs at 35.87
Vs New Zealand in India till now – 36 runs at 18.00

40 days ahead for NEM ..and the sun started to travel twrds south aftr heading north of the equator….
40 sounds a bit too soon. I think its more like 50-55
395 mm in 2000, 311 mm in 2003, will 2012 NEM be better than the 2 worst once since 2000
Kea,i think tis time our monsoon wil strike bfore 10 days than the usual day (oct 24/25)…. The day wil be somewhere around oct 10/12….
foreca forecast looks good for the next few days
There shouldnt be late sep-early oct system… Last year v had such a system n compact giri on 2010 tat spoiled kea bloggers dream.
@pradeep whats confusing is that there is no cloud in satellite image. its bad that imd don’t have a radar in mangalore, kochi and other swm places
@pradeep yes its there,but hindu had it for most of TN from 2000. I remember seeing meena’s figures as 200~cm and nunga’s as 2572 mm or something
btw where did meena get 40 mm this jan?
Can’t stop laughing after seeing that all months so far are negative for nunga
anyone knows how much rain meena got during cyclone ogni?
nunga got around 50 cm in 4days

Problem with chennai radar is that it is 25-30 mins slow
Visiblity over west is poor.. Think heavy rain is lashing n on its way to nw-central chennai…
believe it or not, hailshaft to WNW
Monsters developing rapidly..
if it maintains its intensity we may see a deluge
Kea, where r u? still in Pondy? plz say something (-)ve about this expected deluge for Chennai.. plzzzz 😀
216/7 franklin caught dhoni bowled ashwin

@Sudharsan, amazing ..Seems,more heavy lykly to follow tis rain..
Ashwin has 49 wickets in 8 test matches (including the ongoing).
Philander got to 50 wickets in 7 matches recently and is joint second fastest ever.
If tomorrow Ashwin gets the last wicket. He would be thethird fastest in the World and also the fastest Indian ever to do so. Hope Dhoni gives the ball to Ashwin.
Kumble reached 50 wkts in 10 tests
