The W.D. Effect

Temperatures have dropped. to some extent in the Northern region and North-West.The W.D. has had the desired effect on the day temperatures. The IMD map of 6th. May shows the "better off" regions spanning from the North-West towards the Central regions.And the intense heat restricted to the Central regions.
Highest temperature in India at a few places was 44c today.
 
Mumbai was partly cloudy at night, but clear throughout the day. The high was 34.8c at Colaba, and 34c at S'Cruz. Humid and sweaty, thats the weekend for Mumbai.
W.D. effect will precipitate rain for a day more in the North.
South I see the rain tapering off in Tamil Nadu. Light convectional rain for pockets in Kerala for the weekend. 
But some internatonal forecasts show a local vortex forming off  Mangalore on Saturday, when the city can expect heavy thundershowers, and upto 30/40 mms of rain.

    NICE indeed. However the drop in temperatures in NORTHEN belt is NOT desirable for effective monsoon. INCOIS has given pictures of sea current and sea wind which indicate NWly sea current flow taking curvature at cape Comorin and turns in SWly direction. Similar winds are seen off shore Tamilnadu too.
