Real Summer heat

   [1] Two High Pressure points in SIO are quiet common. Their presence makes impact on Southern Peninsular weather.

    [2] The summer heating in Northern Hemisphere is NOT  pronounced yet.


    [3]  The coupled ocean-atmosphere reaction is unusual than NORMAL.

   [4] However low latitudinal westerlies [Near equator] is in full strength in Bay and  may lead to onset in Bay soon
   
In my last post I mentioned about Mas High and Bay activity.  But the clouds drifted further into East leaving clear sky all most in East coast. The westerlies shoot temperature.

Possibly there must be fall in SST along Somali coast and enhanced wind flow will be hitting SW coast.
