After IMD announced that the North-east monsoon has set it over Tamilnadu and will increase in strength on 27-Oct-09... RAINS vanished almost all over Tamilnadu except for some isolated Thunder showers over interior and south Tamilnadu.
Where is North-East showers and Cyclone??
It's November now and we have not got the October quotta of Rain and not even a single LOW over Bay yet! and Not going to be one until 10-Nov-09 according to GFS models.
Certainly there are signs of Cyclone potential building up over south Bay.
Here's the Cyclone potential map... suggests a good energy formation south Bay along the 5th parallel.
and here's the Sea Surface Temperature Map.. it shows a HOT bed near East of Srilanka.
GFS models suggest a LOW pressure trough forming just along Eastern Srilanka on 2-Nov-09 will touch TN Delta coast and then travel all along the south-east coast and showers will reach upto Bangladesh coast on 7-Nov-09.
Will 2009 northeast monsoon be vigorous over tamilnadu, will it cover drought hit interiors? Seems very weak monsoons. For dry tamilnadu to become wet it should rain atleast 3-4 months nonstop. It is not strong like in Mumbai where at times it rains 600mm-1000mm in 24hours non stop for months. Also weather patterns is changing, central india - Maharashtra, Gujrat-Saurashtra are receiving more rains while south - Tamilnadu, Rayalseema, Karanataka are slowly turning dry and desert like condition. I hope our scientific models will do some analysis.
