12:30pm, A weather photo from Karaikal, Tamilnadu ... "Thunder cells build up seen" ... http://ow.ly/i/71MY9 

PROBABLE RAINFALL IN [TN & AP] EAST COAST

One should NOT get confused with the prevailing EASTERLY now [270914/1047 hrs IST] .  The strengthening of SWM clouds in the Bay from SWly direction and the possible drift is due to upper winds . If this clouds move towards INDIAN EAST COAST, then there is a possibility of [heavy] rainfall in TN coast /AP coast coming perhaps from SEly direction 
 Similarly the drifting of clouds in Arabian sea to further west indicate clearing of  RAINFALL immediately  in the west coast.  

But the strengthening of SWM clouds from the winds from HIGH PRESSURE located about 2000 km SE of KANYAKUMARI  is drifted by upper level SEly winds.




The resultant wind some time may be in different direction [Northerly] 
Then rainfall course will be changing.{/?/?]

My intution and ensuing SWM torrential rain.

It has been observed that the Indian Ocean High near Mauritius is extra ordinarily of higher value.  This pressure anomaly is unusual.  Its teleconnection will reflect in India as we saw flooding in [1] J&K and recent flooding in Mehalaya & Assam.  I see a symmetry with this flooding and pressure anomaly. My fear is yet another torrential rain along south / SW India  I have given few surface charts and other wind profile data for reference/ comparison.  It is NOT a forecast. But it is my intuition. Veteran may please correct me, if it is wrong.

25.09.2014
 This is 24.09.2014 / 16LT chart where the pressure is mounting and the below one is chart depicting 1039hPa. 
The other weather phenomenon like the trough forming near KOMORIN sea etc to give rainfall

However the Southern Hemisphere wind sinking at 30Deg South Latitude  [General Circulation] is NOT known to me.

veteran must clear my doubt

How ever preparedness to encounter torrential rain is also good. [it may happen or may NOT, that is different]
