Be optimistic upon SWM July RF

 Many of the private weather channels are skeptic about SWM 2014 [JULY] rainfall.  It has been ascertained by the [official] national weather  channels that the chances of revival of SWM rainfall in July is NOT that much alarming.  [China Meteorological Administration & IMD]

Usually in India National Weather Administration is NOT responsible for declaring DROUGHT of course in agricultural preview.  .  

The position and strength of TIBETIAN HIGH [warm] is to play important role in deciding monsoonal rains in NW / Central / and East India up to Nellore.

*** Tibetian High is situated at about 5000 meter above mean sea level.  This portion of earth is a barren land at 5000m height forming a plateau of length 2000 km to 700km width.  A third pole indeed..***** 

This is playing a key role in determining Indian SWM & NEM.

Moreover the Mascarene High is also positioning with good strength but no Low Level Jet strength wind is blowing in Arabian Sea.

However every one is optimistic. 



 

It's time IMD should snap out of denial and officially acknowledge the reality of drought




The very fact that the IMD has to keep on reiterating every day that it may be too early to panic suggest that the spectre of drought is increasing as a strong probability, if not prevailing already. 
While there is much merit to IMD’s argument that the seasonal rainfall may in the end turn out not very far from their revised forecast of 93% of LPA, with July-Sept making up for the June deficiency, even so, there is every reason already to panic, at least on the agricultural front.

Revival of Monsoon now rests on hope of cyclone developing in NW Bay of Bengal 3rd week July


International models predict a fair probability of a fresh low emerging in North-West Bay of Bengal (BoB) during 3rd week of July. If one emerges, rainfall may pickup in the country. But the cavaet is that there is also a potential cyclone expected to develop in South India Ocean near Diego Garcia around the same time that might torpodeo this likely BoB low formation!!! On the face of it, July looks a wash out like June in terms of the monsoon vigour.


Pacific Typhoon Neoguri stalls the Monsoon: Modi Sarkar has now little option but to declare a national disaster emergency



Typhoon Neoguri has very rapidly strengthened to Category 4 (Very Severe Cyclone) and expected to hit Category 5 (super Cyclone) strength by tomorrow or latest by Tuesday as it moves through the waters of North-Western Pacific Ocean.  This transition to Category 5 is aided by the fact that it is already a very well defined storm and further tracks very warm ocean waters having low wind shear.
