One of the twins, the Low Pressure Area (LPA) in the North West Bay of Bengal off the Bangladesh coast, has rapidly concentrated into a Depression. It is expected to intensify further into Deep Depression and will dump very heavy rainfall over East Indian states in the coming days. The other twin, a Well-marked Low Pressure Area (WML) near Rajasthan / Gujarat, has been dumping extreme rainfall with Jaora (Madhya Pradesh) 387 mm, Chhotisadri (Rajasthan) 230 mm and Quant (Gujarat) 206 mm. It will intensify into a Depression and will continue to pound Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh with heavy rains. Watch out for extreme heavy rainfall of over 250 mm at certain places. North Interior Tamil Nadu will continue to get Intense Thunderstorms which will shift to coastal areas by evening / Night.
Chennai – The wet days will continue with rains expected in the evening / Night with temperature settling close to 36-37 C.
Coimbatore – It will be a routine day with temperature hovering around 31-32 C, with chance of light showers.
Madurai – No respite in the heat with Temperature peaking to around 39 C. Rains will cool parts of the city with thundershowers later in the evening / night.
Should expect the evening/night rain to continue for couple of days
One of the wet month which Chennai needed very badly
ha..ha..active SWM conditions forced “accuweather” to revise their previous title from “rains to dwindle in august” to “India Flooding This Week, Rain to Dwindle in August” 🙂
http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/india-monsoon-rains-to-dwindle/50706252
AccuWeather is bad. Don’t follow.
They only predicted less rains from Aug 2nd week.
OMG…SWM cumulative rainfall index going crazy and increasing daily by 1% per 1 day. Within last 2 days SWM cumulative index increased by 2% and now stood at -5%. With tis rate it looks it will end normal/excess by the end of July. So overall SWM cumulative rainfall index will end on normal level for the first 2 months (june & july).
Note:
The incoming rain wave from BOB would like to fill the most of the rain-deficits along West-central and west coast.
Coastal AP is in excess!
Chennai is in excess
Chennai will be in excess by next update
Good morning frnds, yesterday TS was a severe and best one of the season.. Which accumulate with strong winds.. The wind was so strong that some rains may haven’t recorded in RG.. Easily it would have recorded near 50mm in all stations by seeing the roads conditions.. Almost all roads r flooded.. Best TS of the season..
power of combo effect “MJO’s phase 2 with BOB’s synoptic system”.
Does Lucknow have a radar, if so can anyone share the link please
It does, but it hasn’t updated for 2 years.
It looks Mumbai will be in extreme flooded rains from this “twin sisters’ combo”
The present 3 synoptic systems along SWM-axis exactly mimics June 3rd week’s 3 synoptic systems’ pattern. The present MISO scenario exactly repeating and mimicking with June 2nd half SWM-rainfall pattern but with “little less amplitude”.
In conclusion July-rainfall may end near normal mode instead of excess like June-style due to present lower amplitude MISO.
Nungambakkam AWS – 39 mm
OMG…invest area 98B given by CIMSS for the BOB’s system.

JTWC: TROPICAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY:
(1) AN AREA OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED NEAR 22.3N 90.6E,
APPROXIMATELY 69 NM WEST OF CHITTAGONG, BANGLADESH. ANIMATED
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
ALONG THE BANGLADESH COASTLINE, WITH CONVECTIVE BANDING OVER
THE BAY WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER. THE CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION
HAS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS AND THE 850 MB
VORTICITY SIGNATURE IS BECOMING MORE SYMMETRIC. A 261533Z ASCAT
PARTIAL PASS REVEALED 30 KNOT WINDS UNDERNEATH THE DEEP CONVECTION.
THIS CONVECTION IS BEING ENHANCED BY STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE;
HOWEVER, FUTHER ORGANIZATION IS HAMPERED BY MODERATE TO STRONG
VERTICAL WINDSHEAR (20-30 KNOTS) IN ADDITION TO FRICTIONAL EFFECTS
WHILE THE LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER REMAINS OVER LAND. NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE SOLUTIONS DEPICT THIS DISTURBANCE TRACKING VERY SLOWLY
WESTWARD ALONG THE COASTLINE INTO INDIA OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
IF THE DISTURBANCE WERE TO TRACK JUST SLIGHTLY FURTHER SOUTH,
THE WARM WATERS OF THE BAY AND GOOD OUTFLOW MAY ALLOW FOR RAPID
DEVELOPMENT OF A TROPICAL CYCLONE. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS
ARE ESTIMATED AT 25 TO 30 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA LEVEL PRESSURE IS
ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 997 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS MEDIUM.
OMG…JTWC upgraded the TC formation probability to “medium” in its latest update.
Yesterday was one of the Best Storms of the Year. It was Cyclonic Winds and the Winds are Peaking up to 60 – 70km/hr and its Pelting here in Ambattur with Massive winds and RR reaching 200 – 300mm/hr sometimes. Rain lasted for an hour from 10 – 11pm and drizzles continuing after that for another 45mins. This Storm Behaved Weirdly as the Storms started to form as Squall and Violent One after reaching 100km Radius and There was a Good Moisture Support. Previously in April and May most of the Storms Dissipate or Skip But Now the Nature Has Been Showing His Mercy To Chennai.
Stroms Birth happened near 250km West of Chennai and it travelled nearly 150km With Moderate Intensity and While Entering in to Chennai it Was a Violent and The Shelf Clouds has Covering Entire Western Horizon It Looks Very Cherish. Lightnings are Sharp Yesterday but Thunders Frequency is Lesser. But the Rains are Very Heavy with Massive Winds. Very Happy to See TS 7th Day in a Row. This July has Turned to a Unbelievable Manner.
power of combo “MJO’s phase 2 coupled with BOB-synoptic pulling”
Storms are Alive Still to the 400km East of Chennai. Wondering How this Storms Travelled this Much Distance.
Origin 250km West of Chennai Currently 400km East of Chennai. TS Travelled Nearly 650km.
its completely formed in the line of depression’s outer bands.
Chandra Mouli, Ambattur 21 hours ago
Another Day of Possiblity of Thunder Storms Today over Tamilnadu. North Coastal Tamilnadu might Receive Good Spells Especially Chennai, Tiruvallur, Kanchipuram Dists Gets Heavy Rains and Some Places over South Interiors as well gets Moderate Rains.
Today Temperature is Expected to be Around 36’C in Chennai
Iam, PJ and Atchu and many of us here Hoping for Good Rains from Morning.
Yesterday My Prediction Was Full Success 😉
37 mm From Night TS here !!!!!!
wow..as expected IOD decreased as per latest BOM’s value. IOD stood at -0.17
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/iod_1.txt
this decrease in IOD can be attributed to decrease in SSTs to form Oceanic tropical convergence zone (OTCZ) which set up active SWM conditions along west-coast (even TN received good continuous rains for last 7 days). Even pat of SWM-moisture might have migrated to north BOB to set up present depression.
checked my rg!!
39mm!!form yesterday spell!!
Super !!!!!!
here 37 mm
hmm..yes.!
nee kudutha build up ku romba kammi ya theriyudhe!
any under reporting from RG?
noo..correct than..but superb rains!!
i was overexcited about the rains as it was a supercell!
super here mod rain oly but also 37 mm
OMG!!
thn something missed in my rg!!
One of the best and intense ts i have seen in my life after joing this blog!!.it was like a squall.!!
massive winds gusting to 70km/hr and with intense pouring with rain rate 200mm/hr..super rains with loud thunders and lightning!!
My rg recorded 39mm!!
one of the thing is that i will not forgot the winds in where my rg flown off!!
will this cost 2mm??
ha..ha..RG flown away. So better to fix solidly 🙂
no..it was the time when the depression crossed!!!
but it was raining!!
so the rg might missed 2mm think so!!
Good morning..
A deep depression is persisted in bay of bengal near 22.3N 90.6E approx 100 km from Chittagong, Bangladesh.This slow moving system(25 knots) is expected to track westwards with 997mb pressure.
This would give very heavy rain to Bangladesh, west bengal and north odisha.
Outer band of this low pressure system is expected to give decent rain to Tamilnadu coast including Chennai.
Chennai is expected to receive medium to rather heavy rain between 6 to 9 pm today.
Nungambakkam 37mm, Ambattur-45 mm and many parts of city recorded average 2 to 3 cm rain last night.
More rain for us?
Yes…
how much kea and IMD?
KWS – 33 mm
IMD – 35.5 mm
IMD 39 mm.
ohh sorry
Even imd would have missed out on exact reading. I saw a documentary on tv 15 years ago. It said it’s impossible to get the correct reading during wind
Yes. Rain tends to fall out of the RG, but it is possible to get more accurate readings by installing a funnel at the top, which IMD has done
OMG!!
super!
Only 2.5 diff. I expect 10+ mm diff
no..
IMD 39mm
flash…as per latest BOM values, nino1+2 SST increased over Niño 3.4 SST (according to weekly relative values). Thus classical Elnino’s sub-variant too aligned in classical mode. This will enhance the BOB & WP’s tropical cyclogenesis when compared to Arabian & east-pacific.
so there is a fair chance for this BOB-Depression to become a minimal cyclone before crossing the coast??
But IMD won’t take it to cyclone strength
Chennai will not have break of rain till 4th Aug.We may have daily rain till 4th Aug and heavier in week end.We can expect around 100 to 120 mm from another 5 days.
Super Sir !!!!
so superb 2nd half of july is expected to continue!!
No way..
With IMD Rain Figures We Have Happily Crossed 200 mm For This SWM !!!
185 mm This Month Just 85 mm More To Break The All Time Record !!!
Meanwhile,Nunga Has Almost Closed Meena…Meena is 251 mm I Remember For The
Year Nunga Is Just 30 mm Away !!!
Meena Badly Needs Rains!!!
wow!!
Nunga behind by 85 mm for the year :p
But Disappointment Is That Still One WS-VS Electric Storm Giving More Than 50 mm To Nunga!!!
Is Left
will be by this weekend!!
These kind of storms don’t usually occur in July
no areas crossed 55mm how come??
anyover reporting?
Can anyone say how much Madhavaram recorded last night??
12 mm
Good Morning all. Amazed at the prospects of Depression chances in Gujarat/Rajasthan and more rainy days chances for North TN. Not to mention the Deep Depression awaiting E India!
meena 4mm….nunga thrashed meena
tit for tat!
😛
We might see isolated storms today in TN after which rains will reduce drastically.. They will resume after the DD crosses the coast and enters Central India
oh
4 days to go for the contest between august and September!!
OMG!!
in sun news
rains to continue for next three days!!
lol
😛
We have/had an influence of bay system indirectly here but not through any outer bands or any other means of direct influence!! It is just an illusion,the strong upper level winds makes such an satellite image,as if all the rain clouds were connected..
Yes spot on..
Yeah, the bay system is tiny!
Preliminary Rainfall figures from Yesterday’s Cyclonic TS in Chennai, Suburbs and Outskirts
in mm
Kadambathur (Near Tiruvallur) – 45
Poondi Agro – 44
Ambattur – 41
Nungambakkam – 39
Puzhal Agro – 34
Poonamalle – 33
Tiruvallur – 26
Puzhal – 25
Avadi – 22
Taramani – 20
Sriperumbudur – 19
Tiruttani – 16
Chembarabakkam – 15
Sholinganallur – 15
Katupakkam – 13
Guindy – 13
Madhavaram – 12
Kunnathur (Near Kelambakkam) – 11
Kelambakkam – 7
Kolapakkam – 7
Meenambakkam – 6
Minjur – 5
What was the wind speed sir?
Rare event. Very rare that Nungambakkam is in the top half of the table.
Anna Nagar West. 37.1 mm.
Clear case of North/ NW and Central Madras show yesterday night.
Same time TBM areas too got good rains. Have to check the RF figures.
Shiva.. it was only drizzles here with massive lightening and thunder.. may be 3 mm at the most. The action was mostly to the north of meenambakkam.
Update of 1st system in October. Just for info not for analysis.
I will be happy no matter where it goes as long as it remains weak..
PJ, targeting NAP then 1987 scenario may repeat in 2015??
Rao ji. I said no analysis.
How it can be illusion??
Rami, it’s not the kind of pull effect you’d find during NEM. The system played its part in terms of pulling moisture and making the off-shore trough and peninsular trough active, but these are not directly caused by the system. These storms would’ve occurred without the BOB system, but wouldn’t have been so intense
Then why chennai don’t have any intense TS after June’s MISO?? Now only why it’s happening!??
That’s exactly what I’ve written in the last line, storms would’ve occurred, but the intensity wouldn’t have been the same. The system played its part in enhancing upper divergence
Why we don’t have these type of intense TS during first 15 days of July?
The steering winds are strong and there is abundant moisture over bay.
Now only strong why? Why can’t these steering winds be strong in 1st 15 days of July??
See this, the system is playing a part too.
http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/700hPa/orthographic=93.11,16.55,2048
Fundamental: cloud convection will float on isobars under favourable conditions.
OMG….even the steering winds are not strong during MJO effected TSs between July 22nd and July 25th. But yesterday’s jet speed in TS clearly indicates that “dip in isobars” by strengthening of BOB-depression, thus created the pull effect scenario.
As per my RG
Ambattur – 49mm
Ambattur might have crossed 6CM mouli.one of the best spell I have seen this year. Lasted for one hour
Yes I thought so but RG shows only 49.
As per PJ data 41mm
superb moisture availability at all levels!!
Really bad miss for S chennai .. only 19 mm here. South has been consistently missing a lot lately
19 mm is not bad when compared to the 0 mm in Pondy!
True..
Chandra, how much total distance travelled by yesterday’s TS??
450km
its now 500
TS travelled 650km from yesterday night till today morning
650 kms????
Yes I posted below.
Origin 250km west now 400km east travelled such a long distance still maintains intensity over BOB
Are you saying that the Chennai TS came 250 kms from the west?
Yes rajesh it travelled from 250km west and gains intensity near 100km radius. I have radar updates too
As rohit said moderate rains only here….it’s 23 mm here..
OMG!!
saidapet missed!
sad!
Yes.but t.nagar which is 2 km had recorded 34 mm ( susa rg)
kkkk
look at the wind field and pressure associated with the system, it is highly limited with NW bay.. and incase if it is a band or a pull effect of the system, we r wrong with tat system intensity ,it should be a minimum cat 3 cyclone…lol
sir noo!! going to china!!
its going beyond 500km radius!
rao sir,
here is the current long range radar!!
see going out of this!!
its origing was 25okm west of chennai..now 400km east of chennai!!
OMG!!!
250
Anna NagarWest..37.1 mm.
There is an enhanced upper level divergence for the last 6 to 7 days provided by the wave activity.. it should have helped in intensifying storms to great heights across the TN all these days….
8th day in a row good Possibility of TS today. Chennai and Surroundings get good Rains and north interiors and other north and central coast tamilnadu some places will receive moderate to heavy rains.
Temperature in Chennai expected to be 35 – 36
What about southern chennai??
Yes good chances lets see in evening which parts receives good rains
Why we don’t have any favourable conditions in first 15 days of July. It’s clearly evident that MJO at phase 2 done great job for the last 1 week in setting excellent conditions for the daily TS activity.
Actually triplets!
We should be happy with what we got last night. Until 9 or 9:30 pm, I don’t think anyone of us had any hope of even recording 1 mm.
We had hope for 20mm but got more than that
gfs predicting strong ts for N TN today
Did they predict the same last night?
yes
What about southern Chennai??
entire N coastal TN
I feel . No chance today. Infact no rain today
water crisis looming city forcing authorities to use veeranam water. These rains will certainly benefit to charge the aquifiers and hope the lakes survive. This NEM will be a bonus for all of us.
Flash…it looks BOB system to travel little southerly when compared to earlier run. So CAP-NAP and Telangana will have good rainfall. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/ecmwf/2015072612/ecmwf_mslp_uv850_ind_7.png
So if this dips southern ,then chennai TS will go dormant ? but Pondy and below will get wide spread ‘Low’ pulled TS’s ?
Awesome convection over north bay!
sheared on north and north west.
Interesting !! Despite of elnino, 1992 &1997 had no break phase during swm!!
just checked my R.G , the total rainfall from yesterday spell is 32 mm
Rajesh, wireless may well be correct. May be I got deceived by the rains accompanied by swirling winds.
It seems that the sensor took its own time n updated the rains. So I’m going with the readings of 37.1 mm for our area. paint dabba n bottle RG are showing the same amount.
Paint dabba..39 mm..Bottle 35 mm.
Yes, the winds make the rains appear heavier than they actually are.
True Rajesh, i agree, still our area got the heaviest i would guess.based on the radar image and the rainfall intensity,
GFS indicating strong typhoon to hit eastern china city Shanghai by august 10th.
1992 year is a devolving elnino with -ve IOD. so it can not be compared with 1997 elnino.
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ensoyears.shtml
Infact 1992 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was unofficially the most active year on record for the basin with 10 tropical storms developing, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
Flash news: Terror attack in Dinanagar a place in Punjab
oh,its Dinanagar. I was shocked by understanding as Dinagar (pondy) place
me too, 1st read it as Dinagar
Same with me…
It seems they made the family members of the police officers as their hostages
Me too!
Me too thought it as dinagar first
NSG commando operation going there. so no worries 🙂
Yaa
Nsg commando on their way to takeover the operation
It travelled 650kms distance and not 450
Ambattur total Rainfall in this july – 274mm
3 death n 4 injured as of now
oh…no
Those terrorist were in Indian police uniform n then they attacked
Good morning
30.6mm in valasaravakkam until 8:30am…
5 bombs found on Indian railway tracks
Late last night, at the end, we got some leftovers… So no complaints..
Another rainy day, last night also it was heavy, may be min 2cm, along with heavy thunders, and scary lightnings
News Flash,
IOD turns Negative. -0.17.

Is it good or bad:-)
Good for Chennai during SWM
Good
Maddy Korattur Anicut is the IMD Poonamalle SRG readings.
Pj sir I’m moving from Malar Colony this 31st..
Swai. Today i may come late due to meeting. I will come to ur house directly.
🙂
please dont use sir. I am just around ur age.
Ok
Today its going to massive rains see this. It is the highest GFS has shown this July
Ohhlala
Probably TS’s will peak and dump in open waters PJ sir. All this models are never reliable for SWM induced TS in chennai. Let’s chek it today.
its only for guidance. But today’s TS could be the intense one of the season so far.
There lies the clue. Without passing us, TS cant form there. So sure shot rains for Chennai. Whether it is north or central or south has to be seen.
Waiting for for 8.30 IMD update
Nunga 37.5 mm meena 6 mm
Pradeep, So we have to go with that or may be few mm more for our area..
yes.
@novak_nole:disqus your test batsman played an ODI innings yesterday with a strike rate of around 102 🙂 Waiting for the day he plays at t20 rates
thala might have adviced him to play t20 innings ..
Zen, Will never advise him to play a T 20 innings. All I keep saying is ” Don’t miss any scoring opportunities. Make it count..Focus
He got some Loly Pop’s yesterday (Boycott Lolly Pop) Feasted on them.

================================
No stopping of daily rains in Chennai. Lake areas again got good rains along with core city areas. Past 10 days rains will definetly improve ground water.
Many trees have fallen. Hats off to Corporation to clear them so fast.

Is there ny feature here so that one can share their contact details if they want directly…
join the group. ask jeet
Okay thx ji
Central Madras getting the maximum yesterday.
sanatorium, along with it’s eastern parts also received good rainfall also, min 2 cms, i hope
Yes, TBM and nearby areas too got decent spells..But Central Madras were more fortunate to get heavier spells.
almost all days ( barring one or 2 days) for the last 10 days or so, our part of chennai, received light to heavy rains, after Ambattur area,
Which part of the city you reside?
sanatorium, southern suburbs of Chennai
Yellow bulb after long time. without yellow bulb we were rocking.
Lets hope for the best…
Jeet where are u…. can u add me in the group???
which group?
whats app
Which group in Whatsapp????
Looking at the bright sunshine,,feels like whether we got the deluge rains yesterday night or not? Flooded roads reminds it..That’s nature..pounding rains at night & sharp sunshine in morning..
Atchu asked for 100 mm we got 38 mm. Cheers atchu u were the only one who was expecting heavy rains.
How much rain did pondy got yesterday
‘NA’ mm
wow, even Nunga did not manage that last 2 days
I am really surprised IMD recorded only 38 mm. Given the wind factor I expected them to record 15 mm more than metsite.
But sadly only 6 mm more
i too expected 10 mm more.
Atchu is the only guy who is predicting an excess SWM for Chennai this year like 2013.
This is the wettest July for Nunga since 2007 and 3rd wettest since 2000
are you happy now
no. we should break all records
what is the record to beat this time. we have still 5 days to go.
people would have laughed if somebody gave this as a prediction until 16th July
MJO likely to rule second half of August.
Kelvin likely to emerge in the second week of August in Phase 2 and slowly strengthen while reaching central equatorial indian ocean by 16th, followed by MJO by 3rd week.
After 15th of August MJO likely to emerge in Phase 2 and becomes stronger once it reaches Phase 3. This will bring excess rainfall especially to south india, hence wet end to August is expected over South India and Tamil Nadu.
Oh no…. ER is not likely to allow mjo again! 😦
ER wave will be weak until end of August.
Yes but er cools down the sst drastically and gives kelvin wave more pressure
ER is positive, so it cannot cool down SST, see the image above.
See Westward… It’s right over us on 16th August! But unfortunately its a dry ER!
How about positive iod?
Can anyone ping me the imd url where i can find the daily rainfall levels areawise..
there is no such thing.
As per reports there is a proposal to bring water from Erode thro trains, for Chennai water needs, like 2001
it was little strange, as yesterday thunderstorm traveled at a speed of nearly 70 KMS from west, reached the city -directly from west to east. places beyond mount not getting heavy spells as expected, as being late 10 PM, stretching towards south was ruled out. Both central and north chennai received very good spell for nearly one hour. Hopefully places like vadapalani, kodambakkam, ashoknagar, anna nagar would have received about 5 centimeters with in one hour is really a good one.
Going by the climate prevailing now, we can hope repeated thunderstorm today also; If temperature climbs up to 36 we can get showers by 7 PM.
SS
Jupi,
I think there was discussion on Positive IOD+ELNINO vs TN rainfall?
TN will get lesser rainfall during these conditions as the wind anomaly suggest that to have southerly winds. This will suppress the moisture over SW Bay of Bengal. Arabian Sea branch of SWM winds will strengthened.
Can Nunga beat the following July Rainfall
1818 – 298.5 mm
2001 – 269.8 mm
2007 – 243.9 mm
1846 – 231.6 mm
1954 – 228.9 mm
1871 – 225.6 mm
1915 – 225.3 mm
1961 – 223.1 mm
1981 – 210.4 mm
1975 – 204.9 mm
1859 – 204.2 mm
1852 – 203.2 mm
1921 – 201.7 mm
tough ladder to climb
but looks easy to beat 1981 record.
Considering high quantum of july rains for chennai..did it signals the poor nem as like the above years had? Eg. 2001
Another 2 days of good rainfall and Chennai could climb to within 7 places of the wettest July ever
Nunga will surely beat records till 1846. rest of the records there is still a chance
Everyone just say TN is hot but the facts doesn’t say so 🙂 Our State is the most visited state by the Foreigners and by the local people for 2014….. Kudos for the Architecture,Temples,Costal scenes,Wildlife,Colourful Flavour and food there 🙂

Once I asked a Swiss Tourist what he was doing in Mahabalipuram on a very hot May Month day sunbasking near the beach and he told he had severe skin issues and then his Dr in geneva advised him to take a 2 month medical toursim in hot sun of Chennai and told its a very health sun rays 🙂
lot of Switzerland pple visit mahabalipuram.. i hav seen swiss tourists having great time with their kids in mahab beach when i was 13 years old.. Even last year also i saw group of swiss pple in mahabalipuram with their flags in their hands.
The sun rays in May are not really healthy here!
Anything above the limit is not healthy…Still early sun and dawn sun rays are special…
Most important thing is warmness and friendly attitude given by our tn people’s
100% true
as per my knowledge, we are the only state along with Pondy, who have displayed both regional Tamil language, and English in every bus itself, which immensely helps other states people also easily to move around with in the state,
Still TN under deficit of -10% since June 1.

According to reports nearly 64K crore pathis left India in the last 14 years, which is standing in 2nd position behind China,
Good THUNDER storm rains yesterday in Madipakkam, should be around 25mm.
It was good but we missed the bulk
I am happy with what we got until now. Yesterday was talking with a farmer near guduvanchery, he said not much rains there until now, the lakes are dry, but confident more rains from aadi third week after local temple festivals are over.
Nunga – 37.5 mm
Meena – 6.3 mm
This is whats called trashing
Trashin uh… Super dooper trashing:-) Nature’s balance it equally…
Today might be the revenge!
more rains for north and central according to expert Senthil
The south might join the party late.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?! Means temps in Chennai may peak, yet again?!
its 34c
so-so..real feel is what matters more..
itsgoing much more better than wat we had witnessed 15 days before
God willing!
Bring it on…. Nunga Vs Meena.. Let it b.. In this good fight we all are victorious because at the end we need rain whether its Meena or Nunga.. It should rain
Trashing or thrashing? Trashing can imply v poor rain! Meenambakkam- Trashed. Numgambakkam- Thrashed!
some error in imd meenambakkam
trashing happened some days back. the other way 🙂
Then what is Meena-100.2 and Nunga – 8mm?
Lol good one! 😀
Today one of the most Intense TS will form around Vellore. Can it break the Chennai Bermuda circle. That is beyond our control. It is the TS which will set wind pattern.
Going to be very very interesting day to track TS and learning….! slowly we are mastering how TS will flank at last circle. Few more TS needed to confirm the exact movement.
Alert, Alert, Alert,
Tonight after 09.00PM, massive intense TS expected from Mahabalipuram to Pondy stretch. Heavy downpour likely, BEWARE.
Chennai and surrounding might get some light or passing showers.
finally good news for dinager
Slowly Dinagar is becoming VIP of KEA
As of now TS is moving NW pattern. Thats where i differ with models with Depression in North Bay we wont see storms moving from 13 Lattitude to 12 lattitude.
It will be mostly west and SW. Lets wait for final movement. As per models its moving towards Mahabalipuram to Pondy.
Lets wait and tack partner partha.
NW direction only over coastal areas, in interiors it is West.
Since the D over WB, surely NW winds will prevail only in the coast, as it starts moving West in next few days, then even interiors will get NW.
How do you determine where the upcoming TS will cross the coast? It could flank unpredictably and go anywhere
I am not bothered about flanking now itself, you will see the reality.
Dont expect too much for the day.
After 4 PM
Massive TS over SI KTK, Vellore, Hosur and Krishnagiri
Also some rain in some parts of T Malai districts.
one of the most massive TS to form.
Confirmed by two experts, so lets wait eagerly for the outcome.
Today also we are in for a treat????
any chance for coastal southern kanchipuram district?
Kaaaaannnnja Puram!
ofc, most parts were dry, all the three rivers(two branch river & palar) remains dry throughout the year.
do not expect the river to flow in full form, the rivers start from other states and they had already built check dams, so no chance except peek NE monsoon.
i don’t expect the river to b in full flow, i would say its good that it is dry, otherwise all the effluents from ranipet will be poisoning most of the taluks where it is flowing.
Palar is an underground river, they say. You can maybe say if it’s true. The way they are misusing the Palar river bed..frightening to see..sand mafia at it’s best..btw I always wonder why they need such a huge expensive bridge over such a dry riverbed..
True, I had never seen palar flowing touching it’s both banks
but painfully witnessed trucks piled up on both sides and in river bed to loot the sands.
Chennai & its outskirts construction is the major consumer of this.
Then any chance for intense TS for chennai today?
IMD confident with their forecast!!! expecting the break phase from 9th of august.. ” More organized rainfall activity associated with the fast moving MISO during this monsoon season resembles with the MISO activity during below normal rains in general.. Tis behaviour corroborates with the below normal seasonal forecast for 2015 monsoon”..
Dont b surprised if u see a Big ts near ariyalur ,tj, tiruvarur for the 8th continuous day!!
