Current weather @ 1400hrs,30th Aug-- EXTREMELY HEAVY RAINS IN NAGPUR WITH POOR VISIBILITY AND FLOODING POTENTIALS

As was expected, Sunday proved to be a massive rainfall day though it couldn't set a record. As soon as heavy rains hit the city, water logging problems were reported and even my legs were submerged in water at Civil Lines, area

On sunday, an expected multi-vortex system stretching from Gujarat to East Maharashtra caused some heavy rains in Northern Maharashtra.

Rains began by 4PM and ended by 6PM. Amount of rainfall recorded at the METD HQ. was about 48mm on Sunday

On Monday, a low pressure system was expected to form and has formed just North of Nagpur as a result the air pressure recorded at Nagpur is 999mb and has a FALLING tendency.

Very heavy rains will continue throughout the day with patches of very heavy and calm rainfall

flooding potentials also exist in low lying areas near the city.

Tuesday the rainfall is expected to decrease and AGAIN INCREASE ON 3Rd SEPTEMBER 2010 IF THE WEATHER MODELS GO TRUE.

I will have a post on Mumbai and Gujarat rainfall in these two days by late night or late evening
