Expected west movement with weakening. Overcast in Bangalore with cool Friday and intermittent rains.

  3. Hi Rajesh,

    Myself am in Bangalore now. Rained just 3-4 drops. Satellite shows almost shrinking mass. Most overrated cyclone for 2011. Total waste cyclone. Expectation was good rain for TN and AP. Something wrong with climate pattern over south India. As I mentioned in earlier blog comments Indian weather men in collaboration with US should study this change. North west, central India is becoming more wet - like Maharashtra,Gujarat, Rajisthan but South India is in path for droughts and desertification. Many disagree to this.

    Thanks
