Weather Models continue to build this system as the trigger for the North East Monsoon (NEM) Onset over TN. Computer models differ on the track, but there is some consensus on the fact that it will impact South and North TN from Tuesday next week.

Chennai – Maximum temperature would be around 32c and some parts of Chennai are likely to be overcast with drizzles.

Vellore – Temperature may be around 33-34c. Dry weather likely to prevail.

Coimbatore – City likely to have a light rains. Max Temperature to be at 31c.

  1. What a change in forecast from 377 mm 24 hours back to 124 mm now. Wonder what’s going to happen in the next 48-72 hours.

  6. Actually too much of hype only on this site …the other places there is no mention about this. ……We jump to conclusions very fast here…..

    • Hype is surely a strong word . You have to understand when there are about 200 bloggers contributing during the much awaited season, there is bound to be big expectations..Every blogger has his views..Most of them follow various weather models and try to come with their ideas or observations. You have mentioned other places..What is that?

      • Well said Novak. I think it is very unfair for anyone to blame the blog based on someone’s personal views. This is an open platform after all.

      • Welcome Suraj.long time no see. I still. Remember the extreme motivation you provided last yr,when everybody were down

      • Thanks sriram…work and other commitments had me busy but hopefully will try to blog regularly 🙂

  7. So the story repeats in the familiar lines. GFS differs totally from ECMWF initialy only to just follow the same track as the date nears 😦

  12. Chennai gets rain but monsoon 4 days away
    ————————-
    Rain-bearing clouds seem to have set in over parts of Tamil Nadu, but it may be a bit premature to rejoice. Following unexpected cyclonic activity in the Philippines, the weatherman has now predicted a further four-day delay in the onset of the northeast monsoon.

    However, this year, the city has received only 80mm of rain in October, a shortage of 54% compared to the average 176mm.

    Deprived of rainfall and inflows from neighbouring states, the four lakes that provide water to the city -Poondi, Cholavaram, Red Hills and Chembarambakkam -had a combined storage level of 297 million cubic feet on Friday , which is one-tenth of the corresponding level of 2,169 mcft last year.

    Water conservation expert and Rain Centre director Sekar Raghavan said a delayed monsoon may not have a negative impact as it may be made good by copious rain later. “ As long as the city gets its share of 800mm rainfall from northeast monsoon the situation may not be bleak,“ he said.

  24. October 28 Set for State’s Date With Northeast Monsoon

    Over the last two weeks Chennai alone has recorded 27.2 mm and 52.8 mm excess rainfall, and for the next 48 hours experts have forecast a cloudy sky followed by rain or thundershower in some areas. The city would record a maximum and minimum temperature of 32 and 26 degree Celsius respectively.

    “The temperature will come down in the following days, as we are expecting a good rainfall this season,” said S B Thampi, Deputy Director of the Regional Meteorological Department.

  28. Everyone hyped 350 mm – 250 mm – 450 mm. Thats why dissapointment. Irrespective of system making Chennai landfall, there is going to be good rains.

    Models always underestimate easterly rains. Like yesterday.

  50. All of you know 1996 NEM was a good one. But did you know that after a good start to October with a depression crossing Chennai, a cyclone hit India/Bangladesh border on October 28th. To add on to this misery, the remnants of 34W developed into a category 4 cyclone and hit close to Kakinada. Chennai got a mere 6 mm.

    So, from October 26th to November 17th, Chennai recorded a scanty 6.1 mm.

    An easterly wave then gave 27 cm in a week followed by 8 more cm in 3 days which ceased after the famous loopy cyclone formed. This caused the rains to end which returned only on December 7th. The cyclone hit Chennai and gave 92 mm. An easterly wave hit next week giving 29 cm which made that NEM a good one.
