@Kea-Yeah i still hopeful of 1025mm this NEM..As of now its 554 mm..i hv not reduced it drastically..Still added another 140 to 150mm and that would make it 704mm..BTW Raijin, neither want Simran nor Thrisha..Any day will take a Laila, Nisha or a Nargis..
we are all expecting atleast a single system by the Decemeber end…
But southern hemisphere has 4 systems. out of this 2 systems just going to give rains to the ocean waters
Wind shear is very less this time even when HPA presence. If hpa is moved away then shear will reduce further. If this trend continues then we can have big system towards us.
During the third week of this month,we should start getting rains.
If we get a system in Jan,it will be very helpful.MJO will stay till Jan end but very favourable factors can be encountered only till 1st week end,
So,hopefully the deficit should be made up.
All positive factors developing, home to see increase in bloggers traffic from now.
First blog gets active and then the bay. This year blog comments reaching highest but rainfall at lowest. Never mind , we carry on. Another 12 cms and chennai water levels may scrape throug till SWM.
I am never a fan of ARR’s nasal voice, so while I like the tune, I don’t like the end result.
Following flashing wickets & helmet cams,a few more changes are possible which would make the game more tacky. 😛
Soon to come:
– balls will explode in a grand fireworks display upon crossing the boundary,
– special trap doors will release ducks onto the pitch whenever a batsman is out for no runs,
– umpires’ signals will be made more fluid and attractive with snazzy dance moves, and
– LED-infused bats will change color from blue to red as the batsman scores more runs, flashing special animations for fifties, centuries, etc.
As long as we are all there to watch it , then why not . T20 commercialised cricket , all cine stars are the owners of teams, Then sure we wil have all these. Its your generation karthik. Cannot stop the change.
In another 10 years Mcdonalds will start pushing out saravana bhavan. Burger meals and saravana meals almost same price. Yankee indians……will phase out traditional indians.
Karthik,
If these changes are implemented then cricket ground will be reflecting like a night club, also cheer girls will dance for every wicket and boundary.
Cricket anywhere doesn’t need glamour.People are there to see a sport.
There extra fittings are just another way of pretending to take the game to the next step.These don’t help the cause of the game & in many cases,worsen it.
past 3 weeks, there was no rest…full of traveling in weekends and feeling more tired..expecting some system to be formed in bay to make me feel active and energetic
Sundar sir, sunny and clear blue sky..so u r saying tat our monsoon is over.. Hmm fine..if at all the monsoon is over, still y the imd has not declared it officially??? Veyil adichathku nem over ne sollum pothu, konjam lite ah maazhai vantha kuda naanga nem iruku ne solluvom……
It is said that there should be 9 days sunshine and 1 day of good rain. Paddy fields require more sunshine and more water. By having 9:1 ratio, paddy fields will get enough sunshine and because it rains in between, the water table level is maintained.
@Partha-Right form day one Sehwag has enjoyed playing test matches and has been successful in all countries..He is more of a fours and sixes player(though a sharp runner between the wickets). He relishes the close in fielding in tests and everybody thought he would be a big hit in in Odi’s and T20’s…The problem in shorter version is the spread out field and he just loses patience when his good shots yields a single or a two.He loses focus to carry on and gifts his wicket..If you observe closely, he would always offer a straight bat to any type of shot and with his excellent hand eye co-ordination does even need to move his
feet..He hardly pulls or hooks which require horizontal bat skills and you see him only hoick or flick waist length balls towards deep square leg or fine leg boundary..
Does not even need to move his feet..
@Kea-Yeah i still hopeful of 1025mm this NEM..As of now its 554 mm..i hv not reduced it drastically..Still added another 140 to 150mm and that would make it 704mm..BTW Raijin, neither want Simran nor Thrisha..Any day will take a Laila, Nisha or a Nargis..
Hey guys I am back. Sorry for the prolonged absence. There was no rain so didnt feel the interest to come back here. Today morning of course something in the Deccan Chronicle. You remember Astrologer Ramachandran – he said Chennai would be flooded between November 15th and December 15th. Now he is saying something else. It didnt happen because of Mars/Mercury interaction. Oh well explanations get cuter. I am still waiting for Suresh’s forecasts.
Ok u maintain that u did not say it will rain on 9th-10th, which I insist u did. Anyway forget it. On xmas day what will be the weather like in chennai. I am not dreaming now.
Later on the same day itself i said i was kidding.
Do you remember?
Ok 9-10th have gone by just scorching sunny days, on Christmas day what will be the weather like, have planned some visits.
In other interesting news this one got my salivary buds dripping. Rippon building is serving herbal lunches wow and all for only Rs. 15.
Look at the menu(in tamil of course) – avarampoo idli, perandai thuvayal, tulsi buttermilk, herbal kootu and other mouth watering dishes. Yummy ! If I knew somebody who worked there I would love to grab lunch there.
Thats all the news I am afraid from my side.
Wow…Lpa in s.east bay..but still Vorticity has to increase… Convergence and divergence is increasing.. Shear at 15knts.Now the Anticyclone in w.central bay adjoing sw bay,so it may make a steady westerly movement twrds lanka… Not much circulation seen yet,if the vorticity increases .tis may develop into marked lp… At present ,sst and tchp is high in tat area.so keep an eye on it if the vorticity increases.
Hey guys – do you think such exotic dishes like that mentioned in The Hindu are being made available so cheap ? Is there a catch here I dont understand? Are Government staff getting a discount ? No apparently even private citizens can eat there too. Only Rs. 5 for a modakkatan dosa seems unbelievable. Any comments ?
Partha – apparently current mayor is a practicising naturopath. So its not surprising he is encouraging others to eat healthy herbal foods. The rates are unbelievable though. Thats what made me curious.
It is cheap now, once these foods become familiar then the rate will be more.
Especially hotels like Saravana Bhavan, the frontrunner of costs.
Gs,
Regarding herbal food, you have shared great news with us.
We should try these types of foods, nowadays we eat more junk foods and oily stuffs, which is more of health hazards.
Partha – well said. I believe in the future herbs will be come food and vice versa. Regarding siru dhaniyam(kambu and kezhvaragu) I am not a big fan because I still believe rice is the staple dish. Having said that I am not a big fan of these hybrid rice varieties which are flooding the market. Only few farmers grow native rice (i.e. seeds of TN) like seeraga samba and kitchli samba. There are over 2000 local varieties and many are disappearing. Of course I prefer hand pounded rice to mill rice. Comments?
Nothing to comment, it is up to you to decide which one you want. But i prefer healthy food not tasty.
Sometime i also eat pizza, burger and other western types, but it is very rare.
I still prefer Kambu and Kezhvaragu.
If you drink that kanchi in the morning, you wont be hungry till afternoon.
Best substitute of famous breakfast like Idli, Dosa and Sanwidches.
What do you say?
I also like healthy food but not kambu and kezhavaragu. Its too rich. Prefer rice anyday and especially red rice. I love different types of keerai like manatakkali, modakkatan, ponnankanni, karsilankanni, etc. I also like sundakkai(green).
Yes, me too like greens. It has all types of vitamins, iron and proteins.
Manatakkali is good for hulser.
Keerai has iron.
Dont know about Modakkatan, is it a peas variety?
Latest satellite picture indicates a circulation has formed over south east bay of begal – south of andaman islands. This would get intensified soon and we might get long wet spell commencing from this week end. As venus would be entering watery sign and within 2 days, moon is also conjoined which can trigger a long wet spell. The next 20 days considered to be the best period for this year NE monsoon.

The first comment should always be positive..Still hopeful of at least 12 to 14 cms by Dec 18 till month end..Cmon, we can do it..

Hi,
Good morning,
Only one comment since morning?
As bopha weakens SE bay getting active
I cant see any system forming till 18th.
I think if ter’s no HPA, we may have rain…
by sunday til monday.. 🙂
Look at this…. 4 systems in Southern hemisphere 😦
http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/products/tc_realtime/
we are all expecting atleast a single system by the Decemeber end…
But southern hemisphere has 4 systems. out of this 2 systems just going to give rains to the ocean waters
what a pity….what a pity
increase in global temperature, increases these lpa and cyclone possibilities, but pours everywhere, sometimes missing the needy..
Intensity of Claudia is varying…. 105-100-115 and back to 105
wind analysis looks perfect..
beautiful clockwise spin 😉
as expected, min temperature hits 20.7 tis early mrng…
HPA will get back by 12th or 13th.
Expecting rains only after 22nd December.
98,885 Comments made till now… wen can we reach 100k.???..1115 comment left…
Hr,
We require another system to reach this milestone. Comments are very low due to dry spell.
yes.. hardly 300 comments in 2 days.. we may require another low to fulfill 500 per day..
as per the current rate….it needs atleast 15 days to reach the milestone
sorry 10 days
yes we’l reach for sure.. ter is no minimum temp. activity also..
Chennai AP lags 158mm and Chennai 219 mm this year.. ..
Boxing day system will eliminate this due.
r u still confident abt boxing day system? Is any long-term forecast shows any boxing day systems as of now?
Please post the link if any…
have a look at the cmc’s forecast..
hi partha good morning
you said that you expect rains only after 22nd then whats this???
wow nogaps and gfs expecting a low….
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/ngp/fcst/archive/12120912/110.html
http://moe.met.fsu.edu/cyclonephase/gfs/fcst/archive/12120918/133.html
but gfs shows the low to the south-west of srilanka and also forecast the track to westwards…
but nogaps says its forming west of sumatra which is good for us…
lets wait and see what happens by 15th
only if the low enters bay, we will have a chance
mjo forecast looks deadly atm…
Nice to hear this news, next 20 days is more positive.
looks deadly only after 3rd week..means 21 days from 6th of december…So we will have wet end to this year and wet start for next year
Boxind day ku munnadiyae oru system iruku… Wil be on 18th i guess..
lets ur says comes true
Wind shear is very less this time even when HPA presence. If hpa is moved away then shear will reduce further. If this trend continues then we can have big system towards us.
again buildup starts….this going to make atleast our blog active until everything gets unfold
latest gfs shows twin systems!!! 🙂
From the 3rd week of December,we should start to get some rains.
With the MJo wave and other factors,looks like NEM will go on till January 1st week.
karthikstorm
mjo stays till jan end so NEM should end only in end of jan! 🙂
latest gfs looks good on week 2!!! 🙂 hope its reliable….
http://monsoondata.org/wx/prec.html
*latest COLA gfs
COLA’s10-20 mm will be 50mm actually..
During the third week of this month,we should start getting rains.
If we get a system in Jan,it will be very helpful.MJO will stay till Jan end but very favourable factors can be encountered only till 1st week end,
So,hopefully the deficit should be made up.
All positive factors developing, home to see increase in bloggers traffic from now.
Jupi always comes with a bang!!!
Even though HPA is present temp may not go down beyond 20C due to high humidity.
This itself is a good sign.
17th HPA goes out..

Another single from the movie kadal, music by ARR
I liked Nenjukulle better.But this one’s of a different genre.
More energetic and peppy.
yea karthik
I am never a fan of ARR’s nasal voice, so while I like the tune, I don’t like the end result.
Following flashing wickets & helmet cams,a few more changes are possible which would make the game more tacky. 😛

2nd and 3rd seems to be realistic
As long as we are all there to watch it , then why not . T20 commercialised cricket , all cine stars are the owners of teams, Then sure we wil have all these. Its your generation karthik. Cannot stop the change.

Yes.I was just being sarcastic,sir.
They’ve already made T20 like that. 😆

Karthik,
Cricket in india never requires outsourced glamour.
The glamour is with in the game itself.
BCCI spoiling the games dignity.
Cricket anywhere doesn’t need glamour.People are there to see a sport.
There extra fittings are just another way of pretending to take the game to the next step.These don’t help the cause of the game & in many cases,worsen it.
Sehwag removed from T20, since he has not performed well in Tests.
He scored a century in first test.
What a contrasting decision,
How can you compare tests with T20?
Wind shear is very low, if there is a system around now then imagine?
http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/windmain.php?&basin=indian&sat=wm5&prod=sht&zoom=&time=
when shear is low, no system
when system is there, high shear
This is our current NE monsoon
Hope it will reverese and we have shearless system formation in the coming weeks

Dont worry, your wish will be fulfilled.
I think after 17th there is easterlies which will bring rains.
There is a system forming in south china sea on 12th, which may cross into bay later.
From 20th to 30th there are 2 systems in bay in short time.

Chennai is terribly hot these days. Is this December??? Clear Blue skies with the sun scorching like September….where are we heading towards??
towards another system….
Good to hear, but this should translate into reality.
This will happen dont worry.
Due to HPA and high humidity, we feel more hotter…
Surprising to note that Hyd recorded 35 deg this afternoon….clear effects of global warming.

Aana … ” Thambi mazhai innum varala…..” Dont get mad , I cant help it.. absolutely pathetic to wait for rains even during peak rainy season…
I think you all will agree that India has one of the worst climates in the world and that too TN has the worst in India… Why?
Usually superior races pick the best spots and the weaker race is pushed towards the worst spot… are we the weaker race?
Which state in India has the best climate and which has the worst climate?
mayhbe I shud have said weather…
Best all year around good weather I would say Karnataka most parts at least, worst weather difficult to stay many options, Orissa one amongst
there are many states in NE which has pleasant climate than karnataka. In Fact coastal karnataka is amongst the hottest from Sept-Feb.
what happens to all the rainfall that happens in places like Cherapunji? goes waste? water starved chennai can use some of it
You are correct. Chirapunji is on a hill-top, so all the rains go to the plains. It is the same with our valparai region also.
Why did Kings used to ask ” Madham mummari mazhai pozhigiradha” to their ministers? Did it actually rain three times a month in TN back then? anyone?
or the Minister might have replied ” Annae mazhai innum varala…”
It is said that there should be 9 days sunshine and 1 day of good rain. Paddy fields require more sunshine and more water. By having 9:1 ratio, paddy fields will get enough sunshine and because it rains in between, the water table level is maintained.
@Partha-Right form day one Sehwag has enjoyed playing test matches and has been successful in all countries..He is more of a fours and sixes player(though a sharp runner between the wickets). He relishes the close in fielding in tests and everybody thought he would be a big hit in in Odi’s and T20’s…The problem in shorter version is the spread out field and he just loses patience when his good shots yields a single or a two.He loses focus to carry on and gifts his wicket..If you observe closely, he would always offer a straight bat to any type of shot and with his excellent hand eye co-ordination does even need to move his
feet..He hardly pulls or hooks which require horizontal bat skills and you see him only hoick or flick waist length balls towards deep square leg or fine leg boundary..
Does not even need to move his feet..
@Kea-Yeah i still hopeful of 1025mm this NEM..As of now its 554 mm..i hv not reduced it drastically..Still added another 140 to 150mm and that would make it 704mm..BTW Raijin, neither want Simran nor Thrisha..Any day will take a Laila, Nisha or a Nargis..
Of course without any damage to life or property.

I saw this today morning, it is in green now and it has to change to yellow to become LPA.
Hey guys – do you think such exotic dishes like that mentioned in The Hindu are being made available so cheap ? Is there a catch here I dont understand? Are Government staff getting a discount ? No apparently even private citizens can eat there too. Only Rs. 5 for a modakkatan dosa seems unbelievable. Any comments ?
Even a common man can eat it, but first we have to like it.
The taste would be unusual for a person tasting it for the first time.
If it tastes good then we can try it at home, because in most of the homes the breakfast is mostly common and lac of variety.
I think we have lots of varieties in herbal foods, and it is healthy too.
Partha – apparently current mayor is a practicising naturopath. So its not surprising he is encouraging others to eat healthy herbal foods. The rates are unbelievable though. Thats what made me curious.

Regarding herbal food, you have shared great news with us.
