Tele connection and SWM on set


{a} The Power House is strong with 1032 hPa.

{b} Its effect will be felt in TN & SE coast immediately.

{c} This will pave way for the strengthening of SWM monsoon in Bay.

{4}The North Eastern states soon be getting rainfall.






Descriptive 10 days forecast for North coast of TANZANIA.

[This tele connection is giving more insight over the onset of SWM in the west coast of India.]


During dekad 15 of 2015, the southern high pressure systems are expected to intensify significantly, while their counterparts to the north are expected to relax. Thus the ITCZ is expected to continue moving northwards from its current position. This movement will influence weather over unimodal and bimodal areas of the country, especially over Western, South-western highlands, Southern, Southern coast and central regions where seasonal rains has ended, while in the northern coast, north-eastern highland and Lake Victoria basin of the country seasonal rains are expected to recede. Warm SSTs are expected to be observed over Atlantic Ocean closer to Angola coast.
Neutral to slightly warm sea surface temperatures are expected to be observed East Africa coast while warm SSTs are expected over the Somali coast in the West Indian Ocean and in the Central Indian Ocean. Low level wind speed is likely to start rising over some parts of the country (Tanzania) and are expected to be characterized by southerly winds over the eastern sector of the country turning to south-easterly over remaining parts of the country

Today, HEAVY rain occurred along W,N-W,S Karnataka due to slightly Westward drift of seasonal N-S trough over India.
Something like April.
Westward drift of N-S trough can be attributed to the S central Bay's mid,upper-level circulation and West movement http://ow.ly/i/b3hUI 
Today, the upper-level circulation is also seen over same S-central Bay and seen drifting West... http://ow.ly/i/b3i1d

The temporary "Burst effect" of monsoonal winds in AS

 My meteorological Guru told about the WEAK establishment of 'MASCERE HIGH" in its normal position.  Further the strength of the other ensemble "High" near 90 Deg East is prominent.
This will give (pseudo) wind penetration in Arabian Sea.

It is clear SWM is dominant along 4 Deg North. [Mali] and in Andamans.



This sort of weather will enhance day time temperature further in the 'TEMPERATURE HOT BED "  locations in TN & Telengana and AP.  This is mainly due to continental-DRY westerly or HOT DRY north westerly winds from deserts in NW locations.

Upwelling near Somalia

Wyoming
 The Power House is positioning itself in its NORMAL place. The Wyopming 1000 hPa  Indian Ocean plot as well as Mauritius Meteorological Service 1600 hrs  LT chart depicts the same.

The upwelling near Somalia Coast [i,e interaction in sea] is to take place to bring the SST down by 23 Deg Celsius.  The ocean+ atmospheric reaction is to take place near Somalia Coast to trigger Somali Jet.


This will enhance Arabian Sea (AS) SWM to enter Indian land. But still westerlies are NOT prominent in AS.  There forms a trough in        Eastely in AS which may some times inhibit the SWM wind in AS further.

Thai 220515 12Z

Mauritius Met Service
In Indian SE coast the winds are SWly with 18-25 knots at 0.3 amsl.to 1.2 ams. This prevents convective clouds formations amidst hot and humid condition prevailing [especially Chennai] at coasts.
CIMSS
