    Thanks Pradeep. Why are rains eluding south interior peninsular india/ Karanataka?

    Wind blowing away rain clouds and loss of trees are some of the factors any other reasons?

    Maharashtra/Konkan is very prominent in top list - same happened 2010, 2011 of your top lists.

    Dear SSET,
    As you know well, Mascarene High near Mauritius island [Normal position: 30 Deg South / 55 Deg East]which is considered to be the POWER HOUSE of SWM is NOT favorable this time and lies close to 80 Deg East. This inhibits the cross equatorial flow to hit at Kerala, Karnataka, Konkan,Goa & Maharashtra coast. Further the 100 hPa easterly wind normally expected at Chennai latitude [13 Deg North] is not pronounced this time.
    This may be one among the reasons for the lack of rain in those regions

    SSET, Adding to Mr. Viravanalluran

    Weak MJO is spoiler for southern India (Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu)

    Kerala is worst among all southern states. It is only going to get worse, the dry phase of MJO has set in and will last till 15-20th of August.

    I am watching the monsoon behavior wrt to MJO from June and till now the monsoon has swung based on MJO. So wait for the third week of August of Good rains in the Southern peninsula.

    Further, the lack of Monsoon depressions....may be Rajesh Sir can reply why there is no monsoon depressions in 2012. The Bay wing SST is also not warm enough....let the expert answer this...
