Watchful week ahead for monsoon onset; rain likely in Mumbai

The last week of May has finally arrived and all eyes are set on the monsoon clouds that have started gathering along the Kerala coast. Kerala coast is expected to receive first its monsoon showers in 24 to 48 hours from now. Temperatures in Delhi would again rise after tomorrow. Rain would continue in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the coming two days. Rain is also expected in east India over Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and coastal Orissa during this period.

Change in wind conditions due to weakening of the cyclonic circulation in the Arabian Sea off Yemen coast is expected during the next two days. This will send moisture-laden westerly to southwesterly winds to lash the Kerala coast with continuous rain during the period. Monsoon is declared only when designated weather stations in Kerala receive continuous rain 2.5 mm or more for two days with gradual increase in intensity.

Rain will also occur along the West coast as westerly winds are blowing with a tilt to give rain at many places over Kerala, coastal Karnataka, Konkan and Goa and south Maharashtra coast Mumbai too could receive rain in coming two days. Light rain is expected to occur in several parts of Mumbai during the next two days.

In other parts of the country, temperatures are expected to rise again in northwest and central India from tomorrow onwards. Heat wave-like conditions are again expected in Delhi in coming two to three days. Winds would turn northwesterly from tomorrow onwards but till then humidity levels in Delhi would be high due to easterly to southeasterly winds.

Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand will have below normal temperatures due to cloudy weather for the next two days. Rain will occur at many places in Jammu & Kashmir and one or two places in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. A Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir is making its presence felt in the region.

The cyclonic circulation over west-central Bay of Bengal and northwest Bay of Bengal off Orissa coast will bring rain in coastal areas Orissa and West Bengal as well as over some of the parts of east India during the next two to three days. Rain will occur at a few places in northeast India during the period.

Weather forecast for the week in India 27th May- 3rd June

North and Northwest India
There will be rainfall at many places in Jammu & Kashmir during the first two days of week. A few places in Himachal Pradesh and one or two places in Uttarakhand will have rain during the period. Temperatures in these parts will remain below average till the mid-week. They would rise by 2 degrees thereafter to be near normal for rest of the week.

There are chances of dust storms in Northwest India or even thunderstorms during the first three days of the week. Easterly to southeasterly winds would change from tomorrow onwards and uneasiness would reduce from Wednesday. Temperatures would start rising from tomorrow onwards but heat wave-like conditions are not expected this week in the region.

East and northeast India
Pre-monsoon rains would keep the temperatures near average in almost entire east and northeast except in northeast Madhya Pradesh and southeast Uttar Pradesh as they would experience hot and dry westerly winds. Areas above them would get respite from high temperatures due to southeasterly to easterly winds. These sea winds would increase perspiration the entire week. Bihar, West Bengal and Sikkim would get rain at many places in later half of the week. Jharkhand will get rain at one or two places mid-week onwards.

Northeast India will have rain at many places due to the persistence of a cyclonic circulation over Assam. Moisture would continue to come from the Bay of Bengal. Temperature would be below average at many places by the weekend.

Central India and West coast
Central India will get northwest winds throughout the week but after an initial rise of 1 to 2 degrees during the first two days of the week temperatures would maintain. There could be thunder showers at one or two places in the region during the weekend. The week will be largely dry and very hot. Heat wave conditions are not expected during the week in Central India.

Along the West coast, clouds are gaining ground but due to wind conditions, they will not give much rain. Light rain would be witnessed along the West coast including Mumbai throughout the week. One or two places could even get heavy rain by the mid-week over Kerala coast. Rain will increase along the coast during the later half of the week. The entire country will keep close a watch on this rain as it would be vital for the arrival of southwest monsoon 2013 in country.

South India
Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will have rain at one or two places all week-long.  Heat wave conditions in parts of Andhra Pradesh would abate in the next two days.

Monsoon to arrive by 28th May; surplus rain seen over Kerala in June

The southeast monsoon 2013 is on its way to hit the Kerala coast during the next three to four days. After the early onset of monsoon, Kerala could see a long phase of rain during which at least 10 mm of rain will be received each day till the 10th of June. Rain could be in between 20 to 30 mm on some of these days. In all, Kerala could see surplus June rain.

Ten days from the onset, monsoon is expected to cover the entire southern Peninsula and some parts of east and entire northeast India. Along with Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra (excluding Vidarbha) will see monsoon rains. In east, eastern parts of Bihar, West Bengal and Sikkim will start receiving monsoon rain. Entire northeast will be in its grip till the 10th of June.

Monsoon related rain is also expected to unleash along the West coast in the first week of June including coastal Karnataka, Konkan, Goa and commercial capital Mumbai. Monsoon will reach Mumbai earlier than the due date of 6th of June.

Meanwhile, Mumbai may receive some rain on Sunday as westerly winds are expected to turn into southwesterly near Mumbai. Rain will be light and in patches. Rain is also expected over coastal Karnataka, Konkan and Goa in the coming two days due to the same wind conditions.

The trough of low pressure from Jharkhand to Tamil Nadu remains intact therefore there are chances of rain at a few places over Kerala, south interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu during the next two days. Andhra Pradesh will also receive rain at one or two places during the period.

A cyclonic circulation lies over Jharkhand. Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa will get rain at one or two places due to this weather system during the next two days. Other such cyclonic circulation lies over Meghalaya with moist winds coming from the Bay of Bengal. Rain will continue at many places in northeast during the period.

Temperatures in Delhi are expected to fall by 2 to 3 degrees during the weekend and heat wave conditions prevailing for past one week will reduce a bit. Due to a high pressure gradient, wind speed will be high and that will help transfer the heat away. Rain is expected in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh during the next two days. A Western Disturbance over Jammu & Kashmir will be active to usher in the rain.

Mercury breaks May record, hottest day observed in Delhi at 45.7°C; same weather tomorrow

Delhi observed the hottest day in May in the last ten years to record a maximum temperature of 45.7°C today on the 23rd of May. The previous hottest day recorded during the month was on 18th of May in 2010. Drop in winds speed during the day has prompted the mercury to jump 0.8 degrees above yesterday's temperature of 44.9 degrees. The all time record for maximum temperature in Delhi for the month of May is 47.2 degrees recorded on 29th of May 1944.

However the heat wave in Delhi could weaken as drop in temperatures are expected Saturday onwards. The presence of clouds from Saturday onwards in north and northwest regions under the influence of a Western Disturbance that is expected over Jammu Kashmir tomorrow onwards will bring down the temperatures by two to three degrees. There may be rain in Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh after the next 24 hours. Temperatures in Delhi on Saturday and Sunday would be around 44 and 43 degrees.

Rainfall that has begun in coastal Karnataka during the last two to three days due to the weather system in southeast Arabian Sea will pick up next week. The weather system currently lies over east central Arabian Sea and while moving northwards it will provide moisture along the West coast to bring rain all along.

Wind conditions would also become westerly to southwest to increase chances of rain along the west coast. Coastal Karnataka, Konkan and Goa may receive showers during the next two days. Mumbai, the commercial capital of India is expected to see some rain next week. Light rain in patches is likely over Mumbai tomorrow onwards.

Rain would continue in east India at a few places in West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar. Many places in northeast India will continue to get rain during the next two days due to a cyclonic circulation over Assam.

The corridor of low pressure that runs from Jharkhand to south Tamil Nadu across Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh will continue to usher in rain at one or two places in all these states. A few places in Kerala and north interior Karnataka and few places in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will get rain during the next two days.

Summer yoga to cool you

Summer time means different things for different people. For some it is time for holiday, time to hit the beach or relax and be lazy and hibernate indoors to stay cool. However one thing is constant about the summer, the boiling heat!!  And with temperatures rising and the globe getting warmer and warmer each year, we really need to think of innovative ways to cool down. Here’s a way to cool down that might be new to many.

When adapting a summer yoga practice, focus ‘asanas’ on the seat of ‘pitta’, located in the region of the navel, manipura and solar plexus.  The aim should be to practice gently, slowly and patiently with the intention of calming the intensity and restlessness caused by Pitta (an element which governs heat and metabolism in the body)

Sheetali Pranayama - Stick your tongue out and curl the sides of the tongue upward towards the center of the tongue. Breathe in through the mouth, hold the breath and slowly exhale through the nose. Do it repeatedly and you will begin to cool down within 5minutes. Sheetali pranayama also helps in removing the toxins from the body. The best part about this one is that it is hardly an exercise or yoga.. Sweating crazily waiting at the bus stop or the metro station.. just practice this simple and fun tip and see the quick results.

Taming the lion - Bend your knees and lift arms overhead, keeping your pose soft. Therefore tame the lion to remove extra fire and to remove the tension in your jaw and face at the same time. Also, exhale and fold your torso over your legs, knees bent, and swing your arms down and back, exhaling with a "ha" sound and sticking your tongue out. By the 10th time, there will no trace of excess heat in your body.

Lay Low Vinyasa - Start by laying on your back with your feet in the air, take a full breath and inhale. Exhale your feet up and back behind your head, taking gentle hold of your calves. Now inhale again and exhale to place your feet on the ground with your knees bent.  Lower your hips and draw your knees to your chest. Stay here for a few breaths, or rock and roll up and down your spine a few times (inhale back, exhale up).  This sequence keeps you on your back and low to the ground. It’s also a great release for the lower back. You may slow this down by taking 3-5 breaths in each pose. With the slow flow option, repeat the entire salutation 3-5 times, and then rest with knees to chest for a few minutes. This exercise will soothe you and cool you down slowly and gradually.

Shavasana – Unwind and relax at home after spending a long and hot summer day outside by doing a simple Shavasana. Lie down in Shavasana near a wall – with your feet touching the wall. Raise your legs and rest your feet on the wall. After holding the posture for a minute or two, bring the legs down and rest in Shavasana. You’ll find this yoga pose refreshing and restorative. Since the heart is pumping out more blood, when the temperature is high, this yoga pose helps the heart by returning more blood back to the heart. Those with high blood pressure and back problems should avoid this yoga posture.

Now not only will you remain fit and frosty, you inner heat may spiral out and the patience and tolerance levels may not plummet with the temperatures.

It will rain more in a warmer world

According to a newly-published NOAA-led study in Geophysical Research Letters, as the globe warms from rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, more moisture in a warmer atmosphere will make the most extreme precipitation events even more intense.

The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the North Carolina State University’s Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites-North Carolina (CICS-NC) along with NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and some other agencies report that the extra moisture due to a warmer atmosphere dominates all other factors and leads to notable increases in the most intense precipitation rates.

Besides this, forecasts also show that over the next hundred years, areas that receive lots of precipitation right now are only going to get wetter, and dry areas will go drier for longer periods without seeing a drop. The study also shows a 20% to 30% increase is expected in the maximum precipitation possible over large portions of the Northern Hemisphere by the end of the 21st century, if greenhouse gases continue to rise at a high emissions rate.

Specifically, the new study found that although the 14 climate models differ when it comes to the amount of rainfall in individual locations such as cities, over larger areas, they all point to the same average picture. That is, for every single degree Celsius or Fahrenheit that the global average temperature climbs, heavy rainfall will increase in wet areas by 3.9 percent, while dry areas will experience a 2.6 percent increase in time periods without any rainfall.

The study looked at three factors that go into the maximum precipitation value possible in any given location: moisture in the atmosphere, upward motion of air in the atmosphere, and horizontal winds. The team examined climate model data to understand how a continued course of high greenhouse gas emissions would influence the potential maximum precipitation.

"We looked at rainfall of different types and saw that the extreme heavy rain and the prolonged droughts could both increase drastically," explains William Lau, NASA's deputy director of atmospheric studies and the lead author of the study.

“Our next challenge is to translate this research into local and regional new design values that can be used for identifying risks and mitigating potential disasters. Findings of this study, and others like it, could lead to new information for engineers and developers that will save lives and major infrastructure investments,” said Thomas R. Karl, L.H.D., director of NOAA’s NCDC in Asheville, N.C., and co-author on the paper.

Mahesh Palawat, Head of the weather forecasting team at Skymet Weather says, “One indirect reason for heavy, torrential rain could also be the increased number of high intensity storms and cyclones like Nilam and Sandy which are also a result of the globe warming gradually.” “These studies are therefore not enough, a lot needs to be done to help people in protecting the global environment and staying weather wise.”

Traditional Indian summer drinks

The mercury is constantly rising and the conversations are heating up too. So what better than some cool-cool summer drinks to help you chill a little!  Well, options are too many but we would like to go the traditional Indian way. Check out this list of cool drinks that are quintessentially on the menu in all the Indian households during the scorching and unbearable summer months. The best part is these drinks never go out of fashion, are a favorite with both kids and adults and the easiest to make and savour in the comforts of your home.

Aam Panna - Aam Panna is a light green Indian drink made from raw mangoes, sugar and an assortment of spices. If its tangy flavour doesn’t captivate your taste buds, here are some more reasons that will tempt you to have this drink. It is your tasty and quick remedy to beat the Delhi summer and avoid heat strokes, it prevents excessive loss of sodium chloride and zinc from the body due to excessive sweating, it is a rich source of Vitamin C and thus a curative for blood disorders and acts as a tonic which increases body resistance against tuberculosis, anaemia, cholera and dysentery.

Jal Jeera -  Jal means water and Jeera means cumin. Jal Jeera is a very popular drink from north India, mainly because it is very cooling and is an ideal drink for hot Indian summers. Apart from cooling properties jal jeera is also used as an appetizer because of its digestive properties. There are some other strong spices and herbs used in Jal Jeera along with cumin which makes it a tangy, sour, aromatic and spicy drink. They are mint, tamarind, fennel and black pepper.

Lassi or Chaach – Everyone loves this hearty Punjabi breakfast!! Lassi is a rustic summer cooler and the most famous of all summer drinks. Three cheers to the benefits of Lassi in summers as it very cooling, full of protein and the salt in it keeps the blood pressure stable in the heat. According to Ayurveda, cold yogurt alone can be heavy on the body and clog channels. However diluting it with water and adding cooking spices makes it very easy to digest. The Lassi is also full of acidophilus and helps to replenish the friendly intestinal bacteria.

Bel ka sharbat - Bel or wood apple is a fruit that excellently benefits the stomach. Rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins, its sharbat has a cooling and nourishing effect on the system. You will be surprised at how simple it is to make. Just break open the Bel and take out the pulp, soak the pulp in water for 4 hours and then sieve it to remove seeds and fibre. Add chilled water and your Bel sharbat is ready to sip. The best part of this drink is that it requires no extra sugar since the fruit is already quite sweet plus the natural sugars actually benefit your body.

Thandai - It makes a refreshing snack on a hot summer day which is already making an appearance here. Thandai is usually made during the Indian festival of colors, Holi but if this is your favorite, any time is a good time to have it! When the hot, dry summer wind leaves everybody parched, this tasty and cooling thirst-quencher cools you down to the core. Thandai can be easily prepared at home by just grinding almonds, sunflower/pumpkin seeds, cardamom powder and rose water into a fine paste and mixing with crushed ice and cold milk.

Gulaab ka sharbat – Most of you would agree.. while rose petals are quite tasty to chew, gulaab ka sharbat is even better! On a hot summer's day, a tall, frosty glass of gulaan sharbat can really cool you off. And another nice way to have it is in a glass of cold milk. Have it sweet or dilute it with water or milk, whatever you prefer and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Nimbu Paani – Our list of Indian summer drinks would be incomplete without this one. Nimbu Paani is a must have summer drink in all Indian households. No summer passes without this most simple energy drink. Lemons have 5% citric acid, which gives it its unique taste. Rich in vitamin C, it also has vitamin B, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, proteins and carbohydrates. On a good summer day one nimboo is all you need to combat the terrible heat.

 

Wear black to cool down!!

Pulling out all your white dresses to keep cool in the heat of summers? Now you don’t have to. Studies have proven, black clothing, worn during the scorching months of summer, can actually keep you cool. Though we're all encouraged to wear white in summer, since it is supposed to keep us cool but the fact is, it doesn't. In fact, black clothing is the best way to keep cool in the heat. Here’s how some believe it is basic physics to wear black and not opt for white.

When we see white, we're seeing the combination of all possible visible light. This means that white clothing reflects a great deal of wavelengths of energy coming in. This means it should reflect the sun's rays back, instead of letting them cook us. Except that this explanation is incomplete. Heat is not just coming in off of the sun. It's also coming off a person's own, sweating, warm-blooded, mammalian body, which is a lot closer than the sun is. When all that body heat hits the white clothing covering it, it gets reflected right back towards the body.

Black absorbs everything coming in from the sun, sure. But black also absorbs energy from the body instead of reflecting it back. Now, the helpfulness of black clothes depends on finding black clothes that are the same thickness and looseness as those summery white clothes. Black clothing also needs a little help from atmospheric conditions. Once it has absorbed heat, it has to have some way to radiate it away. If there's even a little wind, black clothing is the better choice for those who want to keep cool.

This also explains that wind is a very important factor here. A study examined different colors of bird plumage under different temperature conditions, with the added wrinkles of examining whether the plumage was fluffed or flattened, and varying the wind speed. Under hot conditions with no wind, white, fluffed plumage let heat escape the best. Both pretty logical findings. But once the wind picked up, the results changed dramatically. With even a modest wind fluffed white plumage exhibit the lowest net heat loss. This explains the large number of arctic animals that are fluffy and white. It's not just camouflage. This is why the desert dwelling tribes of north Africa, called the Tuaregs wear loose fitted black and other dark colored clothing in 45⁰C and above.

This means if your favorite black top is a little loose-fitted and there is wind, the wind will convect the heat away faster than it is absorbed. So you will feel less hot in your black top on a hot summer day than your white shirt which may reflect the internal heat of your body, back to you, therefore will be very less cooling than you thought it would be.

So, back in black it is!!

Ongoing heat wave augurs well for monsoon; first showers likely in Kerala by 28th May

The continuous heating in northwest and central parts of the country could work as a catalyst to pull the weather system that is building up in southeast Arabian Sea to give first showers of monsoon over Kerala coast at the start of next week. Skymet weather models show that monsoon rain is expected to arrive in Kerala coast by as early as 28th of the month, two days before the due date of 1st of June.

Weather conditions in India are also becoming more suitable for monsoon as the days progress. The heating in northwest and central India has led to the possibility of formation of a low pressure area in central India that could invite the weather system hovering over southeast Arabian Sea to touch the Kerala shore.

The monsoon has already arrived in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands three days before the due date. The northern limit of monsoon (NLM) continues to pass through Lat 5.0°N/Long 82.0°E, Lat.10.0 °N Long. 86.0°E, Lat. 13.0°N/Long.91.0°E and Lat.16.0°N/Long.95.0°E.

The other reason for the early monsoon is the absence of a strong Western Disturbance over north India that usually brings down the temperature to deny the formation of low pressure which is vital for pulling the weather inland from the sea. No such strong Western Disturbance is in sight other than one on the 24th of May, a weather system that is expected over Jammu & Kashmir.

Westerly to southwesterly wind conditions in south Peninsula also suggest that the weather system in southeast Arabian Sea may inch towards Kerala coast. Pre-monsoon rain will continue in Kerala, south interior Karnataka and Tamil Nadu under the trough of low pressure that runs from east Uttar Pradesh to south Tamil Nadu during the next two days.

Rain is expected over east in West Bengal and Sikkim and over northeastern states during the next two days. A trough of low pressure runs from east Assam to north Bay of Bengal across Tripura. One or two places over Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh may receive rain during this period.

Wind conditions in northwest India have changed in the last two days and now southwesterly winds are reaching Delhi during nights. With rise in moisture levels, discomfort could increase in the capital during the night as temperatures will also be warm at over 30 degrees. Westerly winds during the day would continue to keep the temperature in Delhi around 45 degrees.
