  1. As usual thanks to our Statistics man - "Pradeep" for these prompt metrics - good information to everyone.

    Some observations for NEM 2011

    1. NEM started from 20th october and not from 01 october. So in effect figures can be considered for 15-20days rain.

    2. NEM low pressures never brought any depressions or cyclones over south east India (TN/ Rayalseema) instead low pressure (10-15 degree latitude) drifted west and then NW towards Oman - AS1 and AS2. This may have resulted in much less rain compared to anticipated earlier over TN.

    3. Current NEM we do not see much coverage over entire TN/South Andra/South Karnataka except spots with moderate to good rains.In fact absence of depressions over TN - meant no rain exceeding 100mm in say 24hours.

    4. Now we are in dry phase for NEM - when is this likely to revive? Will Cauvery water tension ease between Karnataka/TN?

    5. As predictions are for excess NEM what will be estimation? We have 30days more left for NEM before winter sets in.

    Thanks
