  1. Battle of the day! Ecmwf vs jma/gfs. Both gfs n jma picking rains for s.ap coast and Chennai.In fact Jma shows a high probability of WS rains for Chennai/tvl Contrary to that ecmwf picking rains for one or two regions of tiruvannamalai,salem,villupuram,perambalur/ariyalur,tiruchi…

  2. Hi friends, Wishing a Happy Vinayagar chaturthi to all.. Enjoy the blessed day ..Hope it cheers with rain today..

  3. One of my friend from Mumbai has posted this -Welcome Bappa!!! Welcome Rains in many parts of eastern suburbs of Mumbai…

  4. After 174-km travel, Godavari meets Krishna

    First Major Intra-State River LinkingMajor relief for dry Rayalaseema, farmers to benefit

    India took a large step on Wednesday towards its long-pending goal to interlink major rivers with Godavari being officially connected to Krishna.

    The launch of the 174-km Pattiseema lift irrigation scheme in Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday formally connected the two rivers. This is the first major intra-state river-linking in the country .

    This linking, which comes after five decades of being on the cards, is expected to spell relief for Rayalseema in Andhra Pradesh, which is facing water scarcity. Now, four major rivers in Andhra Pradesh are connected to one another: Godavari-Krishna, Krishna-Pennar, Tungabhadra-Pennar.

    Chennai likely to benefit
    ——————————-

    As Krishna augments Chennai’s drinking water supply, there is hope that interlinking of Krishna and Godavari will help facilitate release of water to the city. As per the agreement between Andhra and TN, the former will have to supply 12tmcft of water over eight months in a year. Due to poor monsoon this year, AP has not released water since June.

    • I had earlier commented on the Narmada Canal which is irrigating vast dry lands in Gujarat.Gujarat and MP worked in tandem.If you see the Godavari-Krishna connection,its time for TN to consider similar steps where we do not need to bank on other states.

  5. Good morning, Today expecting heavy rains for Core Chennai, specially for south Chennai. Hopefully the best in September.

  6. OMG…as per GFS & ECMWF, the depression forecasted to enter already SWM-withdrawal region (pink circle). In addition one can see that Vamco ready to enter BOB.

  7. Once again my words came true by seeing the nature of present Monsoon intraseasonal oscillation (MISO) evolution. I used to say that September is going to mimic June style. As per the expectation this September-MISO giving a lot of surprise in terms of rainfall events just like June-MISO, which also surprised everyone.

    If the present depression travels towards already SWM-withdrawal ANNOUNCED regions directly, then it will be biggest surprise in recent years for both IMD & Skymet.

    I never seen in recent years (as per my memory) any SWM-LPA that travelled into SWM-withdrawal regions, once after IMD announced SWM-withdrawal.

  8. Today we are going to reduce the gap with August. As sel said its battle between ECMWF and GFS. Hope GFS wins.

  9. When was the last time a system from South China sea moved into BoB crashing into West Bengal. Anyone.

  10. ECMWF also agrees on Vamco crashing into West Bengal. These two models are not deviating in SWM. In NEM both will struggle.

  11. Tsunami in chile how the river helps. In Indian Ocean Tsunami Cooum, Adyar and Kosathalyar rivers saved Chennai

  12. Did anyone remember seeing evening TS often this SWM? I don’t remember..Most of the rains were late night after sunset and we missed the enjoyment of witnessing evening intense rains

  13. Over night depression rains in Telangana

    Jagityal – 274 mm
    Sirpur – 153 mm
    Karimnagar – 134 mm
    Jainoor – 122 mm
    Srirampur – 106 mm
    palthem – 105 mm
    kagajnagar – 103 mm
    Mallial – 102 mm
    Maddultha – 102 mm

  14. If Vamco pulse intensifies a bit on entering BOB, it will indirectly trigger very heavy rains in kerala and maybe even Sri lanka.. Infact I remember a GFS run some 1 week back indicating heavy rains for Sri Lanka.. Will be great if it comes true

  15. Vidarbha battered. I counted nearly 20 stations recording over 100 mm. Devari in Gondia records 165 mm

  16. But it is going too north toward westbengal…
    Even pull effect cannot favour interiors to get more than 50 mm

  17. I can’t believe it!! First time this SWM, all districts in Kerala have received decent rains.. Usually Tvm gets left out!

  18. அணைவருக்கும் இனிய விநாயகர் சதுர்த்தி நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள்

  19. மகிழ்ச்சியான விநாயகர் சதுர்த்தி !!!
    Happy Vinyagar Chaturthi To All !!!
