Cyclone "05B"... now a cyclone

Still it's not Named, Anyway it's "05B".
Look at the latest projection by JWTC...


It's destined to HIT South-Andhra. This is happenning after almost 2 years (according to my memory, I'll clarify on this later)

Chennai lies in a least danger zone.
Sky is cloudy and will be cloudy.
Typical sky before a Cyclone.
If the cyclone gathers speed and moves as it is now... then we can expect light showers from Today evening.

Some text from JWTC:
************************************
AT 140000Z TROPICAL STORM (TS) 05B WAS LOCATED NEAR 12.9N
84.8E, APPROXIMATELY 265 NM EAST OF MADRAS, INDIA, AND HAD TRACKED NORTH-
WESTWARD AT 05 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED SURFACE
WINDS WERE ESTIMATED AT 35 KNOTS GUSTING TO 45 KNOTS. SEE REF A (WTIO31
PGTW 140300) FOR FURTHER DETAILS

  1. Yeah it looks like its going to Andhra. Hopefully we will get some rain. Latest GFS says we might get showers for next 1 week.

    I read in the Hindu yesterday that we are entering another dry phase of the MJO. It said from 18/11 to 10/12, it will be dry. I hope it is wrong.

  3. Yes, i agree with "Keaweather", there'll be more rains thru to end of next week.

    "Johnny" pls be patient while the system comes more and more near.. Initially it'll start to drizzle, then heavy steady drizzle and then u'll see HEAVY cloud movements.
