3 circulations... one over Madhya pradesh, Another over N. Bay and another over S-W Bay ... http://ow.ly/i/aPe8
Westerly system may stray into North-West by Thursday
India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that a western disturbance would stray into northwest India from Thursday onwards.
But the system is not seen drastically changing the weather parameters over the region, which would continue to witness mainly dry weather.
Isolated rain or thundershowers would occur over Jammu and Kashmir from Friday onwards.
Strong surface winds are expected to prevail over Gujarat, Rajasthan and the Indo-Gangetic plains during this period.
Meanwhile on Tuesday, an upper air cyclonic circulation persisted over northwest Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood.
This, in turn, triggered the formation of a southward-bound and weather-making trough that passed through Marathwada, interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
The trough then “telescoped” into a counterpart upper air cyclonic circulation over southwest Bay of Bengal.
A third upper air cyclonic circulation was on view over Gangetic West Bengal, presiding over local weather.
A weather warning from IMD said that isolated thunder squalls would break out over Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal, Sikkim and the Northeastern States until Thursday.
The 24 hours ending Tuesday morning saw fairly widespread rain or thundershowers break out over Gangetic West Bengal, Orissa, Meghalaya, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
It was scattered over sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, east Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, south Karnataka and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
It was isolated over Jharkhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Telangana and north coastal Andhra Pradesh.
Satellite imagery in the afternoon indicated the presence of convective (rain-triggering) clouds over parts of south and central Bay of Bengal, southeast Arabian Sea and the Comorin area.
A short-term outlook valid until Friday said that fairly widespread rain or thundershowers would unfold over coastal Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
However, the rainfall over Tamil Nadu would weaken in intensity from Wednesday as the clouding spreads out in an east-to-northeast direction into the sea.
Scattered rain or thundershowers is likely over Lakshadweep and south interior Karnataka.
Chennai faces an-hour-long power cut while other parts of the state it will be not less than 3 hours a day ... http://ow.ly/4HONq
If DMK loses polls, blame their Renewable Energy policy in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu had finally voted on April 13th though counting is on May 13th. In what is seen as an extremely tight contest with tempers rising high during the campaign, among the major poll issues was the acute power shortage faced by the state. With voting over, Tamil Nadu is set to face longer power outages following a decision by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO) to increase the load shedding period from two hours to three hours every day.
Chennai faces an-hour-long power cut while other parts of the state it will be not less than 3 hours a day. The TANGEDCO decision comes in the face of an increasing power deficit in the State, combined with rising deficits in other States.

As an energy consultant observed "Tamil Nadu has put too many of its eggs in the wind basket."
