NE - Started...

The north-east monsoon has started.
The first shower was on 11-Oct-08, at around 7 PM.
The starting rains were bit sluggish and gradually it became vigorous.
There were intermittent sharp showers throughout Sunday, 12-Oct-08.
Some showers were really heavy...
Now (13-Oct-08, Morning) also it's raining intermittently.

Not like last year, the start is really good.
Signs of 2005 north-easter.
Remember: The very same day the monsoon started during 2005.
We'll keep updating the site throughout this North-east.
And watching keenly for the all awaited cyclones..

  1. IMD says NE monsoon is not set in yet. The rain is primarily because of a low near SriLanka.

  2. Thanks for the comment.!
    The AIR current is considerably strong. SO there's no official announcement needed.

    Here's what we have from IMD
    "The upper air cyclonic circulation over southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Sri Lanka in lower levels persists. Under its influence, scattered to fairly widespread rainfall activity is likely over south peninsular India during next 3-4 days"
