The Low Pressure Area (LPA) continues to move in a near westerly direction and now lies close to Madhya Pradesh and adjoining Uttar Pradesh. This is seen spinning with a buoyancy extending up to mid tropospheric levels, suitable to generate moist convection and cloudiness across the region and triggering heavy rains all across the core Monsoon region. To the north of this rain zone, easterlies/south easterlies impinging over the Himalayan foothills will generate another rain zone with the aid of Orographic mechanism to deliver monsoon rains. South-West India is spawning a weak off-shore trough which can generate rains along the Kerala and Karnataka coasts. Rainfall will gradually increase in the southern regions of Tamil Nadu, south interior Karnataka, Kerala and Rayalaseema.
Chennai would experience cloudy skies with a day time maximum temperature of 35-36 C. Light rains possible towards evening.
Coimbatore will see a cloudy day with a maximum temperature close to 31 C.
Madurai to remain partly cloudy with a maximum temperature of 36-37 C. Late evening storms may bring in some light rains

Check out this timelapse video taken in Tucson, Arizona, Aug. 8, of a wet microburst forming in the air.
super video!!! storms got towered up thru orographical lift
wow..amazing!
Awesome !!!
Happy Independence Day!
Will it give rain to place that matters? NUNGA
Happy independance day:)
OMG…depression???
Yesterday was another flop show for Chennai regarding Rains. But I confirmed myself based on NET by 3pm that it won’t rain. I didn’t expected rains as the clouds are not towered up and rarely any mid level clouds around yesterday. Due to stable Conditions it was particularly dry day
You meant stable conditions?
Yes stable conditions corrected it.
Net rules
Lol, catastrophic rains!
Lol, RIP for those who still trust GEM.
If it rains, will you change your trust?
It will rain.
I’m talkin about the intensity of the circulation btw and not about rains FYI.
This UAC will be coupled with a giant high in the IO which will spoil most of our rain chances.
😦 😦
Hope a separate app is being introduced for tropical tidbits in nearer future which would be really useful! 🙂
foreca showing massive towers for tirupati…..
happy independence day to all!!
Happy independence day
Bay mayn’t produce any convection in the coming days as an hpa making a move into our basin .. eastern indian ocean gyre below equ not going to influence tis UAC but the upcoming hpa will..westward moving hpa has pushed the trough down south and as a result a system formed in s.indian ocean ..
what will be the effect on chennai?good rains?
on 17th,18th our wind flow may get disturbed..lower level winds would b from south-s.east on those days.. heavy rain possibilities r not so high ..
only evening thunderstorms!!
Moreover MJO extending its arm (-ve OLR) towards Southern Hemisphere, which is normal at this point of time.
Yes rao sir mjo negative olr expected from today so lots of unstable conditions will be there to produce good rain
Happy independence day guys….
Happy Independence Day
Very hot with clear sky. Looks like 37 – 38 can be touched today in Chennai.
Clean and clear!
Happy independence day guys.. couldn’t spend much time in blog for the past week or so.. hopefully I can come back regularly here from now on.. we also need a rain boost badly.. roads have dried up and have become parched too.
Clear and Hot
Passing showers yesterday evening. Mdu ap 1.7 mm.
Pondy 22.6 mm.
Good, Pondy AP had got more this time!
Above is IMD figure for Pondy.
Previous year on the same day we had good rain through out the day due to some lpa I think
that was in 2013…
Are you sure sai
i am not 100% sure… but also i think it was in 13
lets check with experts…
Cherrapunji 191 mm.
Happy independence day wishes friends

omg…
Soon u will be touching 40+
From the archives: TOI’s August 15, 1947 print edition
What sel said is exactly the process that will induce a trough. A large westward moving high pressure is compressing the westerly flow causing this trough formation….
Anybody identify this photo?? Man in particular
????
Glad somone cared atleast its sri pingali venkaiah.. Man who designed indian national flag… died of poverty
oops
the man one who recently passed away, sasi perumaal?
Indians clueless in Galle
Biggest turnaround in the history of cricket.
Remember SL were 5/3 yesteray morning
but i still feel they can win this . 1 partnership will seal the test
It’s independence day. It’s surely fixed in india favour
yesterday when srilanka scored runs, commentators said the pitch has become batsmen friendly. don’t know what they will tell now.
then why should they be clueless
S tats y it was dragged to finish today.. In the script.. :p

A situation that arises once in a century…
All the projects and reservoirs in AP and Telangana got independence from Human usage..Literally all major projects dried up..
Worst drought for Kurnool chittor Nellore Prakasam Anantapur Godavari delta Hyderabad Rangareddy Medak Mahaboobnagar Nalgonda….Tirupati and kadapa is under major drought as all the local dams and also no water from srisailam this year
omg…. then what will you do for water in coming days…?
Dont know …Hyderabad may filter hussainsagar water
ohhh ohhh.tc hope NEM ravages CAP,SAP,NTN
No chance….
I don’t have hope
why????
DDD can come near SAP,CAP coast?
It should rain in karnataka to get more water…whats with rains in Nellore Kadapa..No projects there..NEM cannot reduce drought
omg… ok ok if NTN gets very good rains
why can’t AP govt ask water to TN we ask to AP why can’t they ask?
Water flows from west to east in AP….How is it possible to pump water into these major dams…with capacity of 600 TMC(equal to the water dumped by 3 to 4 depreesions)
ohhh ohhh then uncontrolable situation… you got to live in the drought…
sorry…
yes..elnino
wht abt tirupati na….is there any chance for tirupati in NEM??
Tirupati has north east monsoon…but no water from srisailam
nee summa irukka maatta. ingeye onnum kaanom.
oops… India 5 down….
set batsman dhawan gone…
Any team who can lose from yesterdays position are the neighbours India and Pakistan. No other teams will mess of such a great position
Here comes Ashwin. Watch him Play. He is better than Rohit. He will take India closer to win.
last night update on SUPER TYPHOONS from ECMWF ..look at the pressure drop of ATSANI , its 896mb
Omg Bhajji ahead of Ashwin. Bhaji is hit or miss guy. If he fails more trouble for India. Bhaji is less in confidence.
this is where i am missing Dhoni
sat img update -clean TN without clouds and west coast not encouraging
shock shock ind 65-6 now
highest chase in galle is 99 runs..
oh is it ? unbelivable. just like chasing 300 in MCG , australia
CPC UPDATE:
The MJO has remained inactive over the past week as the low-frequency ENSO state dominates the pattern of anomalous tropical convection. An equatorial Rossby wave (ERW) is also contributing to the pattern of convection. The upper-level velocity potential pattern is largely wave-1, but has some noise over the Indian Ocean from the ERW. Some analyses show a residual MJO signal working around the planet and currently over Africa, but that signal is weak and opposing the low-frequency state, so difficult to decipher.
The MJO is forecast to remain incoherent over the next two weeks, with all dynamical ensemble systems in fairly good agreement. Some statistical models predict eastward movement of the current, weak signal, though those models disagree with most of the dynamical models.
any chance for tirupati to get good NEM guyzz????….will it overcome drought????
NO water in our taps. Today also we had street fights for tanker water and it is becoming racial fight between tamil and telugu community in our locality. We are celebrating independence day and our leaders are talking high with out a sigh. something is seriously wrong with our system.
instead of defence play., any one player would have gone for shots like chandi done yesterday.. score would have come down..
Bhaji gone what a waste. No comes the rescue. Rahane – Ashwin Pair.
yeah..aswin more reliable than harbhajan
Dont understand their game plan blocking blocking and getting out
i stopped watching or following cricket for more than three years. My mind is free of tension atleast on that count.
Saturday morning reading three news papers watching cricket with tea and snacks is awesome.
i literally had a tough time negotiating with a crowd to get some buckets of water from the tanker.
In Anna Nagar no such problem. Thats why u have to be located where VIP’s are
i think ground water level is also good in annanagar
No
why does our blog not attracting say some bloggers from sri lanka or even pakistan.
there is one guy from colombo who visits blog often but yet to write a comment
i think u meant colombo right not colombia
yes colombo typo
how is the water situation in royapetah asad. how u guys are managing
very bad we order cans
metro tank comes once in a week
our lives in megacities like chennai is getting worse.
They don’t care about Chennai weather!
but nowadays we are blogging about pan indian and foreign weather also. Some can atleast come occasionally and give their views.
Why going international? What about Kerala?
@anoop Nair… is there from kerala…
Sanga deserves some thing like this in his last series. very pathetic to see indians falling to their biggest strength- Spin
Guys i have a very simple doubt. our lakes capacity is 11 TMC. we have a live connection with kaveri via veernam lake. Why cant we pump 5 tmc from that lake now when mettur is opened. I think chennai water problem is simply getting aggravated without any good ideas.
our lakes can be easily filled with kaveri water atleast half its capacity since we have irregular monsoon these days.
Noo Kaveri should be entirely utilised for deltas n village areaz down south.. We have already routed their veeranam. Moreover we have many alternatives..
but drinking comes before irrigation jon. kaveri water should be used for quenching state’s people before we use it for irrigation. Delta can easily spare 5 TMC.
Sunspot, do you want fight for water within TN?
but they are pumping just 80 MLD per day from veeranam
thats what i getting confused. They should increase the infrastructure to pump more and fill chennai lakes. this chennai water problem is simply allowed without any plan.
yes even we are not getting our due share from krishna water
this krishna water scheme is biggest joke for chennai people. Not even a year we got full quantum. Moreover 70% of water is used by rayalaseema and chittoor tirupati regions. Only fools in our govt allowed this open channel scheme when we should have opted for piped supply like we are getting kaveri water from veernam.
yes absolutely
we drink that water only…..
i know that. This krishna water scheme is 90% paid by tamil nadu govt but benefit goes to tirupati and chittoor regions. TN people are made fools by this useless scheme.
every state goto extreme measures to secure their resources except us.. Made fools by themselves no strict administration
Paid by TN .
True
in which place you stay
why sir. u suddenly got this doubt.
i stay in santhome here also same story thats why
triplicane.
Lot of Low Clouds started to appear and Cumulus Congestus over NE
what is NET saying about today chances?
Today looks better than yesterday according to NET. But still not sure about Rains. Will confirm it by late noon
Good presentation by Indian cricket team on independence day
this independence day itself is good or bad i dont know. I think tamil nadu under british rule would have progressed much better compared to our indian rule. We are becoming number one only in population.
Ha ha. Chennai would have progressed by leaps and bounds. But u would probably still be working for a British.
i have no problem at all. Now also lakhs of employees are working for invisible american and british masters only.
Lol
Clearly shows they were taking unwanted pressure on them, even a night watchman Ishant Sharma got out blocking instead he should have played positively and dhavan I had seen first time he had played like that very disappointingClearly shows they were taking unwanted pressure on them, even a night watchman Ishant Sharma got out blocking instead he should have played positively and dhavan I had seen first time he had played like that very disappointing

Rahane can fill his shoes but its too early to judge lets see what can he do today
Even his haters would miss him now…

Jadeja – CSK, everyone blames MSD and calls it CSK quota
Aaron- RCB, No one cares LOL
(P.S: no hate against kohli here)

It’s his first match. Give him time. Ppl will start hating him too
yes yes…that’s for sure in india…
like what happened to yuvi.. won the world cup 2011 for india everyone just praised like
hell unlucky in world cup t20 14 everyone blamed him…
In india ppl only remember last match. Doesn’t matter if India lost 4 matches in a series and wins or draws final test. Ppl will still praise the team.
temp now 36.9c
What a catch. Outstanding
Good catch to dismiss Ashwin.
So india will still win?
Sea breeze sets in…
so soon. OMG. great news.
so 3-5 o clock sea breeze setting is not going to be a happening hereafter.
Not like that. Depends on wind direction…. But during june and early july we ll have late sea breeze
From Now.. Rahane Should Go For Shots… Blocking Will Not Work..
He Has Take Chances…
What has harbajan done to get a recall? BCCI should think about future and not go into past. Soon we may have sehwag and yuvraj playing too
Temp now 35.5c
Why r u tracking temperature today so closely?
Because it is boring all Aug batsmen are playing like it is an test match
here 38.5 degrees in tirupati
In 1 and half hours Saina match will start.
any chance for TS today pj sir???
from tomorrow sai.

Brace Yourself…. SEP Guys!!!!
Lol
Lololol
Annae, cfs sellaadhu sellaadhu…

LPA near TN south AP staying for good three days.
Wow…but let it be Aug end
25 mm on 31st and 100 mm on 1 and 2 ok va?
Lol….all shd fell upto Aug 30
Lol that will not.. happen..
Hmmm…letsee buddy
Much needed rains for AP!!!
Sir?
will the rain bands reach us from West or east?
Let’s first concentrate on August before moving to september
i am september team. I am not bothered about August. august will end well though.
September is too far away to be really frank
IMD MID DAY:
18 August (Day 4):♦ Heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur at a few places over SubHimalayan
West Bengal & Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam & Meghalaya and at isolated
places over Bihar and Kerala. Heavy rainfall would occur at isolated places over East Uttar
Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura, Coastal Karnataka, South Interior Karnataka,
Tamilnadu & Pudducherry and Lakshadweep.
19 August (Day 5): ♦ Heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur at a few places over SubHimalayan
West Bengal & Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam & Meghalaya and at isolated
places over Bihar and Kerala. Heavy rainfall would occur at isolated places over Nagaland,
Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura, Coastal Karnataka, South Interior Karnataka, Tamilnadu &
Pudducherry and Lakshadeep
Heavy Rain is required in Galle immediately!
Even heavy rain is not enough. Cyclone is needed
@PJ, u have not answered my question
Which one.
Do you still believe india will win?
yes. It can still Rahane is there. We need just 78 runs.
SL just needs 2 balls
Bye bye Rahane
Mishra has 84 in Test match as highest score and has 1st class hundred
When ? Probably a decade ago
Perfect conditions for TS formation. Lot of Mid level Clouds around NW.
OMG Rahane also gone 😦 Severe cyclone is needed
Rahane kalambitaaru…
Deluge is expected from 150 kmph varun aroon cyclone!
One more bite the dust blocking
Popups near Ariyalur
So Soon!!!!
Yes central tamilnadu is warmer than us and sea breeze would have setted in and Orographical lifting due to hills around Ariyalur which could result TS formation earlier.
Good Rainy Days Forecasted By CFS in SEP
(a) Sep – 1
(b) Sep – 2
(c) Sep – 3
(d) Sep – 6
(e) Sep – 28
Poor September team, too reliant on CFS model…
Galle all over
Colombo is there!
Yesterday Galle was there too
N we tot its fixed.. Facepalm
It was fixed for india to win. Poor Indians couldn’t handle the pitch
Many mistakes he did. Rohit sharma and Harbhajan and Aaron.
Vijay, Pujara and Bhuvi will be back.
Yes ravi shastri should also open his eyes.
omg… don’t compare virat with dhoni…
dhoni is always the best
India were no.1 in test rankings in dhoni’s captaincy oly..!!!
Yes but still some says VK aggression is better than MsD calmness in test!
2 mins silence for those who thought that…
Popup West Of WJP
Ppl should not say ind are best players of spin.. Aweful
After 1997 india fails to chase a target less than 200
2015 – http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v-india-2015/engine/match/895773.html
1997 – http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63747.html
3 days dominated by the indians and just a single day domination by the Sri Lankans and they win by 64 runs!
#respect.
Yesterday was also sl day
September team good news after good news
Good luck with tat CFS
Spot on
Where is your cap?
Won’t happen
Henceforth, if u put CFS anywhere in blog. I will always come there and will put not happen.
Being dhoni is very hard…
