Some places received heavy rainfall early morning, but Nungambakkam was not that lucky. Thunder and lightning was all it got.

why is this not updating?
Yay!! Hint of some sunlight!! With all this moisture, we might have a few thunderstorms
Chance will be bright today for decent TS tonight or evening . Right???
Yes
Kea, all the monthly summaries like this one are not working!
http://www.kea.metsite.com/2012_09.txt
Bright and so sunny in parrys that I cant even see outside…
Funs over for now
It will be back by evening 😀
Sun or rains ????
Thunderstorms
Sun is back after 3 days!!!
3 good days… hopefully it goes back into hiding soon
It should 🙂
Blore has got 28cm this september!!…only 8cm last…law of averages working it seems!!
*8cm last year
You might cross 50. Who knows. But one thing is for sure, Bangalore will cross 100 cm this year
Ya…till oct 15th is ur chance…pre nem rains can be heavy here…violent tstorms possible that time
Supercells 😀 Watchout for hail!! btw any hailstorm this year??
There was 3 hail storms day during summer this year..may9th,may 20,may 22nd…i can’t remember in april!
Go from the link in homepage.
Page has been refreshed
I still can’t access any of the files except this September. It says system can’t find files specified
Sahakaranagar, north blore (my rg) has got 277mm this september plus 17mm on Aug 31st early mrng rains…. Its like almost 30cm in 12 days on continuous rain 🙂
Btw…how much yesterday!
29mm yday (was expecting arnd 35mm though)..
@Shankar
3 Hailstorms in May ?? 😮
The last hailstorm in Chennai was in September 6th 2011 😐 There was a hailstorm in Kanchipuram this April though.
For this whole year, sahakarnagar, north bangalore has got 81cm. This is 5cm behind blore city and 5cm ahead of HAL AP..
That’s gr8 😀
Severe rains lashing Ahmedabad!!
Cuddalore getting battered.
Do post the funnel cloud pic from before when you have time.
Rainfall breakup from my rg for n.blore for 2013 –
Feb+Mar – 0.5cm
Apr – 5cm
May – 15.5cm
Jun – 13cm
Jul – 11cm
Aug – 8cm
Sep – 28cm
Sid, KR Puram figures are lower at 649 mm for the year so far
Sep – 233 mm
Aug – 71 mm
July – 114 mm
June – 71 mm (max divergence is here)
May – 122 mm
April – 31 mm
Jan/Feb/Mar – 3 mm
Are these figures from your rg? On June 1st most places in blore got good rain – city got 100mm, my rg got arnd 60mm.. did krpuram miss out on that?
no it did not.. it got very heavy rains that day too i remember.. that is why i feel kr puram station has underreported at times..
Sudharsan,
Check now
It’s awesome now 😀 Thanks kea 😀
@Kea
One slight correction.
In 2011, we had 2 100 mm+ days if we go by 12 am scale. One in August 24th and the other in October 25th! 107 mm on October 25th!
Finally sun is back. Chances increase for today evening.
TS swarming around
Watch out for the one near Tirupati and North of Nayudupet. The others might not reach us, considering that the winds from East near AP Coast are pushing the systems much further into Land forcing them to dissipate
Storms moving from NNE to SSW. Chances are very low for thunderstorms to hit us, but the will form
@Karthik
Sure! I have the picture, but I won’t use mobile much nowadays since I have exams. I took it in my mobile. Will upload whenever possible!
Thunderstorms closeby to the North
and North west
Susa..how do you say about heavy rains in ahmedabad?
Mumbai radar. They stopped a while ago though. btw, don’t get tricked by Mumbai radar. The scale is different, so even white spots will give 100 mm/hr + rain!!
hmm ok..located ahmdb on the radar… useful..thanks!
will check it when i go there in january 🙂
The storms closeby have dissipated 😦
Plenty of moisture around
@praveen/Prabu – Check out page 8 from this link – http://dmc.kar.nic.in/data/district/ds01/ds3501.pdf
It shows cumulative rainfall for various hoblis of blore urban dist from June 1st to Sep 2nd. My rg readings are mostly matching with that of Yashavantpur rg – this rg is located in Abbigere which is some 4-5km West of my place. May be you can compare with KRPuram’s. Also as per ksndmc site, krpuram got arnd 40mm only on June 1st.
sorry, check out page 6 from above link….
4-5 km distance will usually have a huge difference! Surprised to see it being close!
in south-west monsoon time, we are almost in same line 🙂 And the clouds move faster..
You are lucky then 😛 I’m 1 km away from kea and there is always a 5 mm difference between our places. 😦
Begur – my area near by my home has recorded highest rainfall in this season next to lalbagh
on ma way to vizag.. hoping tat chennai get plenty of rains from this system
Train or flight?
train at 4.20pm
Oh ok! Plenty of storms currently swarming AP you will catch a few!
once again 420 comes in the blog, beware of train @420
its actually 16:20 😛
@Sailu
Do visit Delhi in January!! If you go there at the right time, you might catch a severe cold front squall which will have hail too 😮
Some storms close to Bangalore
cloud movement from WNW.. gud chance of heavvy TS later tonite for chennai
Maddy,
i have a doubt for a long time.
What heating took place today. If there is no heating, why is this TS poping all around Chennai
The heating theory does not work during a LPA or other system near by.
The through extending to Thailand is causing the rains for past 2 days and not due to any heating.
When there is an LPA nearby, you won’t need heating. Thunderstorms will form, but they will last longer, be more widespread and be much more stronger if there insolation. But without heating itself, strong thunderstorms will form if the LPA is strong, but that is not the case this time
LPA based TS are more are less slow moving and sustains over a longer period of time and ensures a bountiful at the location it is. On the other hand heat based TS moves quicker and the period or duration of its spell will be shorter..Am i right Susa/Pradeep ?
Heating is not the only factor. The LPA itself will cause lifting in areas it is influencing, so thunderstorms will form there. What heating will do is make stronger and more widespread thunderstorms form. But on days without LPA influence, we need heating and moisture for storms. Moisture and heating are available in an LPA, so daytime heating is like a bonus 😀
You were spot on. They why were you relying on heating theory yesterday.
Pj,
Childrens / Students, are start learning in that stage, once some thing are stored in their mind anything confidently about the subject, they prefer that whenever they want to answer, even if its not relevant.
Like that, SUSA is also learned about heating process, wherever / whatever the conditions, it may be, once sun come out, his mind is directly going to the heating process.
Slowly he will change according to the conditions.
@Susa, just i am explain what i had though about u, don’t mistake me.
Good conditions for thunderstorms today, plenty of moisture and good heating along with LPA effect, but only problem is movement is from NNW or N 😦
Maddy the storms will form to the west and North west and you will get your rains, enough and more don’t worry.
Western suburbs have much better chances of rain today
Really really dark in ne parrys…hope it rains
That’s good news!!
we are in the hope of raining, not started.
expected to start at the earliest
Ts pops everywhere, idhula edhu varudhu edhu poghudhu…Oonum puriyala..
Wind is from NNE
Maddy in the last hour or so the radar has picked up winds from NE or NNE less than five occasions across all altitude levels. I am surprised you continue to ignore the obvious
Those that form to the west and North west would come to us, ignore anything in the east they are not for us
Rainfall till 2:30 pm
Nungambakkam – 5
Meenambakkam – 3
People are not listening and going by VVP, but I’m telling you, storm movement is from NNE to SSW
What is VVP meant for, why are radars world over tracking VVP if it is to be ignored. I might be missing out in my understanding
Will definitely start raining somewhere within 30 mins..big sizes clouds moving in from ne in parrys
Any rain visible?? It’ll be like sheets below the cloud
Cumulonimbus close by to the NNE. Might come here if it sustains
Wow, yelahanka got 7cm yday….. But GKVK got only 2(again under-reports) – http://www.imdbangalore.gov.in/dwr.pdf
It might have been localized too. Does GKVK have a history of missing rains or under-reporting? If yes, then that is under-reporting only
Yes gkvk is under reporting …i hav said that many times…it shows very low values and times imd does not report itself
Wind direction is from N and NW
http://www.imd.gov.in/section/dwr/dynamic/doppler-vp2.htm
The blue dots show the TS which is moving towards us. The funny part is Storms from NE are also moving towards Chennai.
No PJ, storms will move from NNE to SSW.
The ones in the NE seem to be less intense. In the afternoon none of the patches on the sea side had negative values
There is a storm visible to the NW. It was NNW half an hour ago. I’m seeing this storm. So it is definitely moving SSW only
@PJ
I said no rains overnight because there was a very widespread and severe thunderstorm the previous day. Since this LPA is quite weak, we need 1 day gap till something big forms again.
@Shankar and Sid
IS GKVK station owned by IMD?? If it is, you should inform IMD about that!
No, it is owned by a govt agricultural university.. Till 2011 it used to report fine as per me, only since last year some issue..
There will always be problems with non-IMD stations… But atleast we have our own rain gauges 😀 Is your manual or AWS?
Mine is manual, had got it through my cousin from USA and the company had claimed an error rate of +-5% only..
OMG!!!
LPA circulation is at Nellore latitude and at Vizag longitude!!!
Actually at Sriharikota latitude
any rain for deltas RADAR SHOW LOT OF CLOUDS NEAR PONDI CUDDALORE,CHIDABARAM
Those are weak storms. Strong storms are approaching Vellore-Gudiyatham
” Isolated heavy rain would occur over North Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during the next 48 hours.
OUTLOOK FOR SUBSEQUENT TWO DAYS: No significant change.”
Looks like they are expecting rainfall today as well
If only wind was from NNW 😦 But storms will form overhead overnight 🙂
Dont worry we are going to get something from these popups.
Maddy & Srikanth,
I trust PPV. The storms are coming from N and NW.
You are right the NE ones are fizzling out. If it materialize it is an add on bonus.
@ Novak,
My Observation in this Current Conditions:
In LPA process, the circular curve in near chennai coast, so we can’t expect clouds from west or north west.
We can expect raining clouds / TS only from East, North East and very rarely from North.
Susa yes can identify the sheets but not too strong these are…also btw it started drizzling in parrys
Good news! They will develop!
Storm movement has changed. It is N to S now
Eppudi susa..\o/ north does look bright from parrys whil3 the rain clouds are in thr south as seen from parrys
Either there is one more storm to the north, or sunlight is being blocked
kr puram 65mm as per http://dmc.kar.nic.in/data/daily/dR12-09-2013.pdf.
Its total yesterday was however 180mm for september and today it is 233mm.. This is why I feel its total for the year is so low.
It is under-reporting like GKVK for sure.
Make another rg if IMD is inefficient like this!
@PJ and Cheeka
This is the 1000th time I’m saying, don’t trust VVP for movement. It is only for NEM purposes and locating systems and wind intensity. Trust your own eyes for movement. If you can’t locate the storms, use the radar. The last 3 frames in radar are showing winds changing from NNE in the coast to N to S, but it still NE to SW in areas 75 km away from coast
Yes,
Finally susa got the point, what i am telling for last 2 / 3 days
This is what I’ve been telling for past 2 days 😐
You toooooo
Same thing ?
Nobody is understand ours point of view
angry lookin clouds over NNE. central

How did I automatically join this group? I said it will rain today yesterday.
Will rain 😀
today majority will say it will rain !
Huge line of cumulonimbus what is meaning i dont know
Cumulonimbus is the main rain giving cloud. There is a huge line of it to the north
Storms are dissipating in the same speed they formed in 😦
Amazing image Manjit Singh!! How long have you been weather shots??
wow!
Thanks, for quite Long time….following Kea weather blog for long time…good work guys…
Do post regularly!! 😀
Sure
Rain created havoc in Perungualthur
@Kea
That is why you are in the “will rain” group. Do you want to go to the other group?? 😛
Will it rain in south Chennai and areas like sholinganallur tonight ?
Pouring very heavily here 😯
