All India SWM Toppers from 01.06.2012 to 24.06.2012

The dry phase of MJO is spoiling the HRF figures. It is surprise that after 24 days into June, only one station from Peninsular India managed to cross 1000 mm. Just compare with 2011 figures for similar period. SWM 2011 comparitive figures. Meanwhile, the North Eastern HRF stations continue to impress. They failed miserably in 2011, but 2012 till June is definitely theirs. The MJO wet phase begins at end of first week of July, hopefully the peninsular HRF stations rock to their potential.

IOD and SWM


The Mascarene High is fizzling in strength. Now the apparent motion of the Sun will be towards south.  By July third the earth will be far away from the Sun.  There may be changes on the location of this HIGH and its strength.  JULY being the representative month of SWM one can positively hope better rainfall for India. .

When contacted one of the noted / popular (but amateur) weathermen here,he narrated the following.
  1. The Nino 3.4 region that is the region between  Five degree South latitude to Five Degree North  Latitude and 170-120 Degree West which confines to mainly western Pacific Ocean is relatively warmer.
  2. The SST South of  cape Comorin in Indian Ocean is very low. But this will improve later.
