Minimal Weather Activity Over The Country For One Week

Weather activity over the country around this time is largely attributed to the western disturbance and their support systems over northern parts of the country. Northeast monsoon hangs around till December end or early January, albeit in a receding mode. Western, central and eastern parts of the country come in for minimal weather activity. These parts also remain for from the reach of systems in the north and south. Indian seas do form active basins for cyclonic activity till December and mostly become docile in January.

So far, mainly weak western disturbances have moved across the mountains of North India, Weather activity remained confined to mid and higher reaches. Popular resorts like Srinagar, Shimla, Manali, Dalhousie, Mussorie and Nainital have yet to record decent December rains. Snowfall has eluded all these popular destinations. Even the rains have been far and few for the plains of North India.

Northeast monsoon had been fairly active, more so for Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Earlier cyclone Michaung and recent Comorin area circulation deluged pockets of Tamil Nadu. Worst hit pockets are still recovering in the aftermath of cataclysmic event. But, there is a relief now and weather activity has reduced substantially.

A western disturbance is approaching Jammu & Kashmir tomorrow and will clear the region by 24^thDecember. Weather activity will remain confined to the higher hills of the state and Himachal Pradesh. Uttrakhand will witness residual effect on 23^rdDec. Isolated light rain is likely over parts of Punjab and Rajasthan on 22^nd Dec and improve thereafter. With the approach of system. Minimum temperatures will rise by 2-3°C and drop again after 24^thDec. Dense fog is quite likely in some parts during morning hours.

Northeast monsoon over South Peninsula will remain mild. The transitory circulations, traveling east to west are moving across Sri Lanka, Comorin and Maldives. These are maintaining fairly safe distance from the mainland. Therefore, weak northeast monsoon activity will go on at least for one week. During this period, few moderate showers can not be ruled out for Coastal Tamil Nadu, including capital city Chennai. Though, it is bit early to predict, there are chances of weather system coming up over the Southeast Arabian Sea during end of the month. Even some storm forms, it will have a tendency to shift away from the Indian coastline.

Western and central parts including Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal will observe fair weather conditions. Temperature variations will not be large. Shallow fog in patches quite likely for Bihar, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh.

Northeastern states will observe pleasant weather conditions with minimal interruptions. Isolated weather activity is likely for the state of Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh around Christmas eve. Dense fog is expected in some areas during the morning hours, particularly for the airfields like Guwahati, Imphal, Dimapur and Aizawl.

[Hindi] उत्तरी मैदानी इलाकों में न्यूनतम तापमान में गिरावट, कुछ क्षेत्रों में सीज़न का सबसे कम तापमान रिकॉर्ड किया गया

पहाड़ों पर बना पश्चिमी विक्षोभ दूर चला गया है और परिणामस्वरूप, इस सिस्टम के गुजरने के कारण मैदानी इलाकों में तापमान में गिरावट आई है। इसके अलावा, उत्तरी मैदानी इलाकों के कुछ हिस्सों में भी इस मौसम का अब तक का न्यूनतम तापमान दर्ज किया गया है।

थोड़े समय के लिए छिटपुट कोहरा छाया रहा, लेकिन इन इलाकों में लंबे समय तक या घने कोहरे की कोई सूचना नहीं मिली। अमृतसर और जालंधर के सबसे संवेदनशील हिस्सों में भी कुछ कोहरा देखा गया और दृश्यता घटकर 100 मीटर रह गई, जिससे परिचालन प्रभावित हुआ लेकिन स्थितियों में तेजी से सुधार हुआ।

आज के न्यूनतम तापमान की बात करें तो राजस्थान के सीकर में मैदानी इलाकों में सबसे कम न्यूनतम तापमान 3 डिग्री सेल्सियस दर्ज किया गया। लुधियाना 5.1 डिग्री, पटियाला 5.4 डिग्री पर। हिसार 5.1 डिग्री पर. चूरू 3.5 डिग्री और पठानकोट 5.9 डिग्री पर रहा।

कम तापमान उत्तरी मध्य प्रदेश और राजस्थान के अन्य हिस्सों में भी पहुंचा, जहां इस मौसम का सबसे कम तापमान दर्ज किया गया। गुना और ग्वालियर में तापमान 8 डिग्री और जैसलमेर में 7.3 डिग्री रहा।

मैदानी इलाकों के लिए, जैसे ही पश्चिमी विक्षोभ आता है, तापमान में वृद्धि देखी जाती है। प्रेरित सर्कुलेशन के कारण, जो मैदानी इलाकों में बनेगा, 22 दिसंबर को पंजाब और उत्तरी राजस्थान में भी छिटपुट बारिश होने की संभावना है। इसका बचा हुआ असर 23 दिसंबर को देखने को मिल सकता है.

Fresh Western Disturbance to approach the hills of North India on Friday

There has been an inflow of frequent Western Disturbances for the past few days. However, these systems have only been affecting the mid and higher reaches, only about 12000 feet or so. These parts have seen decent rains while the higher reaches have also recorded snowfall.

A fresh system is all set to make an appearance on December 22 over the Western Himalayas and have an effect on the 23rd as well. We can expect a residual effect on the 24th but clearance is likely on the 25th.

This system may have induced circulation as well, which may give some rain over the plains. None of the previous systems otherwise have affected plains.

Snowfall is expected in mid and higher reaches only. Lower parts including Manali, Srinagar, Dalhousie, and Shimla may not see any snowfall. The effect of the system will be however be there and temperatures may rise. After the passage of the system, temperatures may drop and cold wave conditions may be seen over the region.

Delhi to continue seeing see saw of temperatures, showers unlikely

Minimum temperatures in Delhi have witnessed a drop once again wherein the Safdarjung observatory recorded 6.2 degrees as its minimum today. Other parts of the national capital had minimums that were even less than this at 5.9 degrees Celsius or so.

As far as low minimums are concerned, Delhi had gone to 4.9 degrees on Dec 15. Thereafter, a gradual rise was seen daily with yesterday seeing the minimum of 7.8 degrees 3 degrees higher than the lowest minimum this season.

As expected, the passage of Western Disturbance has resulted in the reduction of temperatures. Delhi has been seeing a see saw of minimums in the past few days due to the frequent passage of these disturbances.

Now also, Delhi will see a see saw of temperatures on account of more Western Disturbances. We expect a fresh Western Disturbance to arrive on the 22nd affecting the hills until the 23rd. Thus, we can see an increase in temperature during that time. Thereafter, a drop in temperatures may be seen.

For the next couple of days, we can see the minimums to reduce and settle in the lesser than normal range, and might go to 5-6 degrees. Easterly winds will increase humidity as well. There is likely to be a thin layer of high clouds.

Parts of Northern Plains may see rains but none for Delhi. Clouding may be there but there is a very outside chance of any sprinkles over the national capital.

Dense Fog Days Yet Ahead For Delhi - CAT-III Procedure May Be In Vogue Shortly

Peak winters spell doom for the aviators, operators and fliers on account of poor visibility conditions at the airports. Indo- Gangetic plains are more vulnerable for thick fog disrupting air operations. National capital Delhi, is the hub center, operating hundreds of daily flights, both, in and out. The city also is one of the most vulnerable and susceptible airport for disturbing the winter schedule, subjected to low visibility conditions. Fog may disrupt flight operations anytime between November to February. However, period from 15 December to 31^st January is frequented by thick and dense fog. Incidents of thick fog can not be ruled out in February as well. Visibility range of 200 mtr or less is termed as thick fog and reaching threshold of 50 mtr is called dense fog. Anything less than 50 mtr is practically considered ‘Nil’ visibility and termed as ‘very dense fog’.

There is inter dependence of three players for tackling fog hit operations. Firstly, the airline machines ( aeroplane) need to be well equipped and should be constantly upgraded. Secondly, ground based aviation aids in terms of landing system is quite important. There are different versions of landing equipment used, one of them being CAT- III (A,B,C) which is used at Indian airports. Thirdly, the most important being training and qualification of pilot. Compatibility of man and machine to the prevailing meteorological conditions holds the key , for authorised operations.

In poor visibility conditions, all the airports resume Instrument Landing System ( ILS), facilitating landing and take-off, popularly called CAT-III procedure. At Palam airport, 3 runways are equipped with ILS, namely runway 11, 28 & 29. Only, CAT-III compliant pilots are permitted to carry out marginal visibility operations during landings and take-offs. The CAT-III compliant pilot may land in visibility, as low as 50 mtr, with a decision height of 15 mtr. However, for take off, the threshold visibility requirement goes up to 125 mtr. All this is subject to visibility range along the runway in use, called RVR.

CAT-III system comes in to play when the visibility drops to 200 mtr or less. CAT-III A operations are done in visibility (RVR) >/= 175mtr. CAT-III B operations are adopted when the RVR is >/= 75 mtr. And finally, CAT-III C procedure is followed when the airport visibility drops to less than 50 mtr. However, when the RVR for the runway in use drops below 50 mtr, the airfield is shut for air operations.

How to Track a Phone Number Safely and Legally

Establishing someone's location using software means can be done using 2 approaches, consensual and non-consensual, with their corresponding moral and legal implications. The ways to track a phone number described in this article allow for both approaches, and we explicitly discourage you from using these methods for personal gain or to blackmail, threaten, or otherwise violate others' right to privacy. Instead, we invite you to learn how number tracking can be used to protect yourself and those who matter most. Let's start by taking a look at the legal side of things.

What the Law Says About Phone Tracking

The laws of most EU countries and US states are still missing provisions that would directly regulate the use of tracking software. However, they're all pretty unambiguous when it comes to personal and sensitive data, as well as means of obtaining it.

In essence, you can track a cell phone number without any legal concerns on condition that a) you have the phone owner's consent and b) the device in question is your own. What this means is that tracking your kid's phone, for instance, is totally fine since you've probably bought the gadget, and thus it belongs to you. And, of course, the law is lenient in cases when such methods are used to backtrack a stalker, abuser, or blackmailer.

Free Phone Number Tracking with Native Google and Apple Software

It doesn't come as a surprise that global corporations have the resources to develop and maintain the most powerful tools to track a phone number, and their main benefit, of course, is that apps from Apple and Google are official and completely free. They almost sound like an ideal solution until you face the stringent security measures present in those apps. While some will just complicate the task, others may nip your efforts in the bud. Here's a brief look at the 3 possible options.

Find My for iOS

Some say Apple's software is too invasive and hungry for user data, and they may be right for that matter, but at least the company had the courtesy to give its users an equally powerful tool to track a phone number location for free. As long as you have access to your iCloud, those devices can be pinned down to a 3-meter radius. Some say other users can easily use that for their tracking purposes, but are they?

Technically, yes. The only problem is having the two coveted lines of symbols - the user's iCloud password and login. If you manage to get hold of those, the phone's location becomes just one of many monitoring options at hand. Beware of the two-step authentication, though - if the account is protected with this additional layer, you will need to obtain the verification code sent to their phone. Despite having this many caveats, the method is still worth a try as it is risk-free and costs nothing.

Additional Features

• Real-time GPS location of all devices interlinked within one Apple ID account;

• Tracking people from your Contact list who gave the permission to do so;

• Detailed GPS location history;

• Marking the device as lost;

• Remote erase.

Find My Device for Android

Similarly to Find My, this app offers a range of monitoring options that become available once you launch the app within the Google account framework. Again, the challenge is in getting the credentials for the said account, which may not always be possible. If that's your case, the third way to track a phone location by number for free may be your best bet, but for now, let's see what else the app can do.

Additional Features

• Locking protocol that prevents unauthorized access and displays a custom message on the device's screen;

• Producing a sound signal to help during the search for the lost device;

• Displaying the current state of the device's battery and network connections;

• Displaying the device's tech details, including serials and IMEI;

• Remote erase.

Google Maps Location Sharing

The location sharing feature embedded in the Google accounts ecosystem is the closest thing you can get to a fast and legal GPS tracking tool. This is how it works normally: the owner selects the option in the Google Maps menu and then selects one of their contacts who will receive the location data.

At any given moment, you can opt to cease the data transfer, and if you don't, the app will remind you about the ongoing sharing every so often with notifications on the main screen. Without a doubt, this is far more convenient than the previous two methods, but only if both parties are willing to partake.

Additional Features

• GPS locations of every device connected to your Google account;

• Recent locations log;

• Real-time tracking.

Online Number Tracking Alternatives

Now, what if the target's phone number is the only piece of information at your disposal and none of the aforementioned manipulations are viable? Worry not - for a fair price, a handful of online services that will help you track that cell phone number - see the section below to find out how.

Technology Behind Online Tracking by Number

For those in a hurry, it's just 4 words: masked location sharing requests. If we get into details, this is what happens:

When setting up an account and purchasing a license to use services like GEOfinder.mobi or LocationTracker.mobi, you will be prompted to provide the target phone number. No installation is required.

Either app will then offer its way to send the owner an anonymous location sharing request. This can either be an SMS from an incognito number or a piece of media with an attached link.

Your goal is to come up with a compelling text or a clickbait-worthy picture to convince the recipient to interact with it.

Sit back and watch the magic happen - when they oblige, their current coordinates will appear on the app's integrated map, ready for use.

Additional Features

These can be found in most web-based tracking-by-number tools:

• Logging Internet connections with visible IP addresses and their physical locations;

• Tracking the active and recent WiFi connections;

• VPN probe to establish whether the owner is faking their entry point.

Final Word

Of all the provably efficient ways to track a cell phone by number, online monitoring services have the least limitations and are as accurate as native iOS and Android apps.

Still, you must remember that the success of your endeavor depends on your ability to persuade the target. When sending an anonymous SMS with a disguised location sharing link, go for something familiar yet intriguing - like a flash sale of their favorite retailer.

Finally, when you do obtain someone's whereabouts secretly, remember you're treading on shaky legal grounds. Do not abuse the information you've received and look into the possibility of making the tracking consensual. This will not only prevent interpersonal conflicts but also keep you out of legal trouble.

Chennai rains to continue being on the lower side

The city of Chennai in the beginning of the month of December saw a massive deluge due to Cyclone Michaung. In fact, the capital city of Tamil Nadu witnessed over 500 mm of rainfall in a span of two days between December 4 and 5, resulting in inundation.

However, after that city has seen light rains only and showers have been about 15-20 mm in total in the past two weeks. Moreover, while the southern half of the state of Tamil Nadu recorded intense rains resulting in flooding and inundation during the weekend, Chennai along with its other northern countreparts did not see any significant rains.

The Cyclonic Circulation which deluged the southern parts has been far off, and Chennai is lies in the northernmost region of Tamil Nadu. For the next ten days or so, Chennai rains will remain on the lower side. As it is, during the second half of December, the Northeast monsoon slows down.

[Hindi] श्रीनगर, मनाली, मसूरी, शिमला, नैनीताल में व्हाइट क्रिसमस की उम्मीद कम

जैसे ही सर्दी आती है, हम सभी उत्तर भारत के पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों में व्हाइट क्रिसमस का इंतजार करने लगते हैं। हालाँकि कुछ वर्षों में, पर्यटक और निवासी इस तरह का दृश्य देखने के लिए भाग्यशाली होते हैं, लेकिन यह हर साल के लिए सच नहीं होता है।

इस दिसंबर में अब तक कोई सक्रिय पश्चिमी विक्षोभ नहीं आया है जिससे पूरे पहाड़ी इलाकों में बर्फबारी हुई हो। दरअसल, हालिया सिस्टम के कारण पहलगाम, गुलमर्ग, सोनमर्ग और आसपास के इलाकों की ऊंची चोटियों पर बर्फबारी हुई।

हालाँकि, श्रीनगर, मनाली, मसूरी, शिमला, नैनीताल और आसपास के शहरों में ऐसा कोई मौसम नहीं देखा गया है। दरअसल, बर्फ तो छोड़िए, बारिश भी इन जगहों से कोसों दूर है।

क्रिसमस बिल्कुल नजदीक है और आपमें से कई लोगों ने छुट्टियों में कुछ बर्फीले जादू की उम्मीद में पहले से ही पहाड़ी क्षेत्रों की यात्रा की योजना बना ली होगी। हालाँकि, 24 से 27 दिसंबर के बीच आने वाला सिस्टम भी मध्य और निचले इलाकों में बर्फबारी नहीं दे पाएगा और केवल अत्यधिक ऊंचाई वाले इलाकों में ही ऐसा मौसम देखने को मिलेगा।

इसी प्रकार एक और हल्का सिस्टम 26 से 28 दिसंबर के बीच देखा जाएगा, और उपरोक्त क्षेत्रों में बारिश और बर्फबारी की संभावना नहीं है। इसलिए, यह कहना सुरक्षित है कि उत्तर भारत के लोकप्रिय हिल स्टेशनों के लिए कोई व्हाइट क्रिसमस नहीं है।

White Christmas unlikely for Srinagar, Manali, Mussoorie, Shimla, Nainital

As and when winter makes an appearance, we all start to wait for a white Christmas over the hilly regions of North India. While some years, tourists and residents are fortunate enough to see such a spectacle, it does not hold true for every year.

This December, there has not been any active Western Disturbance so far that may have dumped snow over the entire hilly regions. In fact, the recent system resulted in snow over the higher reaches of Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Sonmarg and adjoining areas.

However, cities of Srinagar, Manali, Mussoorie, Shimla, Nainital and adjoining areas have not seen any such weather. In fact, forget about snow, rains have also remained far away from these destinations.

Christmas is right around the Corner and many of you may have already planned for a trip to the hilly regions, hoping for some snowy magic over the holidays. However, even the upcoming system between December 24 and 27 will not be able to give snow in the mid and lower reaches and only extremely higher reaches will see such weather.

Similarly another mild system will be seen between December 26 and 28, and no rain and snow are likely over the aforementioned areas. Therefore, it is safe to say that no white Christmas is in sight for the popular hill stations of North India.

Warmer weather ahead for Pune and Nashik, winter chill far away

Both the cities of Pune as well as Nashik have had warmer than average days for almost entire December so far. As far as Pune is concerned, Pune has seen normal temperatures in terms of minimums.

For Nashik, minimums settled around 12.5 degrees on December 17 and Pune saw minimum a 12 degrees on December 16, both lowest of the season.

Otherwise, weather has been on the warmer side itself. Today, airport observatory in Pune recorded 17.1 dgerees, which is six degrees above normal. Other observatories also saw minimums 5-6 degrees above normal.

Even in the coming days, minimums will settle between 15 and 17 degrees for the next one week. For Nashik as well, minimums will be around 15-16 degrees for one week.

The cities of Pune and Nashik lie on the lee side of the Western Ghats and are much colder as compared to the coastal parts. Last year, the minimums in Pune had dipped to 8.9 degrees in the first half of December itself, while Nashik had seen the minimum around 10 degrees on the same day.

The minimums usually see such minimums, but this time it has. More of southeasterly winds are being seen and for colder weather, more of northerly and northeasterly winda are required, which are usually offshoot of anti cyclone over Rajasthan.

This time, the absence and dismemberment of anti-cyclone over Rajasthan are causing higher temperatures over these areas. Thus, with this, we do not expect minimums to increase over any of these cities.
