New Delhi, Tuesday June 19 Just when everything seemed going right for the southwest monsoon, a weather system has kicked up a ‘storm’ in the South China Sea and may spoil the party for monsoon’s progress. The cyclonic storm named ‘Talim’ is progressing towards Taiwan. Incidentally, the storms that approach Taiwan are formed off the Philippines and not in the South China Sea, especially this time of the year. This is so because a movement towards Taiwan can only be steered by strong southwesterly winds that are quite an exception in the month of June. The cyclonic storm is likely to hit Taiwan by June 21, moving at a speed of 19 kmph in a northeasterly direction, packing maximum sustained winds of 83 kmph and gusts of up to 108 kmph.
The storm is also expected to peak around June 21, causing maximum rainfall (predictions vary in the range of 1500 mm) during this period. This is the duration for which southwesterly winds entering the Indian peninsula from Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal would be ‘sucked’ away by the South China Sea storm. The enfeebling of the moisture bearing southwesterly winds over the Indian peninsula would pause monsoon’s progress for a couple of days. The break in monsoon though apparently short may be a cause for concern as its advancement is already delayed. There are already reports of lower sowing acreage of many crops sown during the monsoon fed Kharif season due to late arrival or no show by monsoon. This situation, if perseveres may have deep implications for yield and food inflation. The west coast off-shore trough is weakening due to relative dwindling of the monsoon mobilizing southwest winds. This would lead to decrease in rainfall along the west coast including Kerala, Konkan & Goa and Maharashtra. The monsoon would also lessen in intensity over east-northeast India due to a squeeze in moisture feed from the Bay of Bengal. But all ills might be cured by June 23 when the southwesterly winds would resurface with enhanced vigour over the Indian sub-continent. The monsoon might make further headway at the outset of the week to come and also accentuate rainfall over the areas already covered. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to be covered in the fresh progress likely to be made next week. Typically, the monsoon reaches this part of the country by June 15. Meanwhile, good rains in the past few days have reduced the monsoon’s deficiency to 29% (for the period June 1 to 18), down from 42% reported in the past weeks. A cyclonic circulation is seen developing over north Bay of Bengal. Predictions ruled strong of its intensification into a low pressure but the formation and strengthening of ‘Talim’ may now denigrate it. A mild chance though exists for it to live and provide impetus to the monsoon in the eastern sector.
New Delhi, Monday June 18 The southwest monsoon has covered entire coastal Maharashtra, south Gujarat, Vidarbha, south Chhattisgarh, east Orissa and some parts of West Bengal, including Mumbai and Kolkata in one big sweep over the last weekend.
Interestingly, the southwest monsoon has been delayed by at least a week in both the mega cities. The monsoon lag was being attributed to feeble southwesterly wind flow over the Indian peninsula. Notably, southwesterly winds are the harbinger of monsoon over the India sub-continent.
The southwest monsoon has been vigorous over Konkan & Goa, sub Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during the past forty eight hours. Monsoon was active over rest west coast.
An off-shore trough along the west is being sustained by a steady moisture feed from the Arabian Sea. The trough where northwesterly winds are turning into southwesterly was quite strong along the Konkan & Goa coasts but might change as the trough weakens during the next few days.
Another north-south trough extends from sub-Himalayan West Bengal to the Bay of Bengal, though the weather formation remains strong in the Himalayan sector for now.
Troughs are places where winds from opposing directions meet (or winds turn) and atmospheric pressure is low while the turbulence caused by such interaction (or turning) leads to rain, thundershowers and storms.
The monsoon is expected to swallow some more parts of Gujarat, entire Maharashtra, some more parts of Chhattisgarh, Orissa, entire West Bengal, east Bihar and east Jharkhand during next two to three days. A cyclonic circulation has developed over Jharkhand and adjoining Orissa and it will give a fillip to monsoon’s further advance in east/east-central India.
The weakening trough along the east coast would reduce rainfall over the region in general albeit leaving enough southwesterly impetus to take monsoon further north in the west.
Intensity of monsoon is likely to decrease over west coast particularly over coastal Maharashtra. Rainfall activity will increase over interior Orissa, Chhattisgarh and east Madhya Pradesh. Rains over Mumbai will also show a marked decrease during the next two to three days (due to trough’s weakening).
North and east India are reeling under severe heat wave conditions for many days now. The onset of monsoon over east yesterday may ease the discomfort here but no respite is in sight for north for this week. Weekend thundershowers might relax most of north including Delhi, Haryana, south Rajasthan and west Uttar Pradesh (Punjab will be excluded for now).
Temperatures are soaring due to the dominance of hot westerly winds while some respite from heat is expected in north including Delhi due to inception of southwesterly and easterly winds. But the resultant increase in humidity may lead to discomfort, still leaving Delhiites in oppressive environs.
Light rainfall likely during the weekend would be supported by moisture incursion by southwesterly and easterly winds. Heat wave conditions would also abate from east Uttar Pradesh during the next 2-3 days as the onset of monsoon has brought in a change in wind direction in east India.
Chances of monsoon to reach Delhi on time are frugal as the yearly rain phenomenon is already running late by 5-6 days though much would depend on its progress during the current few days.
New Delhi, Monday June 18 The summer is at its peak and heat wave conditions are prevailing over many parts of the country, especially the central and north. A short trip to the hill stations is what would refresh many a soul and prepare them to face this heat again bravely. But unfortunately enough many hill stations in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand are also reeling under intense heat.
Maximum temperatures over the famous hill station of Shimla are around thirty, almost seven degrees above normal. The nights here are equally uncomfortable with minimums hovering five degrees above normal.
The situation in Dharmashala, home Dalai Lama and Buddhist culture in India is no different. The days are hotter than usual by five degrees Celsius and the nights by seven.
Manali looks better off in the bunch with the day being warmer by four degrees beyond normal and the night at a cool one degree. The condition in Uttarakhand hill stations like Mussoorie and Nainital are almost similar.
So, if you want to take off for a summer vacation, you should head for Srinagar, Gangtok or Darjeeling. While Srinagar is at its seasonal normals, the heaven on earth always proves to be an exhilarating option.
Gangtok and Darjeeling in the eastern Himalayas are being moistened by the monsoon showers and might render picturesque views for travel shutter bugs apart from being rejuvenating.
An exciting option can also be travelling to Kerala or Konkan that get splashed with rains during monsoon (the yearly rainfall event has already covered these parts) and catch up on nature’s beauty. The greens of the Western Ghats in Konkan and the backwaters in Kerala throw up some breathtaking scenes during monsoon.
New Delhi, Monday June 18 The week however has to be survived with the mercury levels hovering around the mid-forties with mostly sunny skies in the offing. Extreme heat exerts the body immensely as it tries to fight the surrounding temperatures and stay calm inside through perspiration and evaporation. It has been medically proven that young children and older people are at a greater risk under such heat.
The Indian summer is unavoidable though as people from all walks of life have to venture out to make a living. There has been a lot said and written about dos and don’ts while in hot weather especially heat wave conditions. But to reassert these under the current spate of heat wave conditions, we have put together our own list for you to read and benefit from.
Drink plenty of fluids but not alcohol (it dehydrates the body). Also, do not wait to feel thirsty. Drink fluid in small quantities throughout the day
Taking cool showers or baths and/or sprinkle cold water several times a day
Closing blinds or curtains can help keep home/office cool
Meals should be taken at normal times. Heat induced loss of appetite and not eating properly may cause health-related problems
Eat moderately (avoid heavy meals) and do not heat your food too much
If venturing out is unavoidable, try to plan to at least in the morning or evening hours (avoid the time between 11 am and 3 pm). Also, try avoid being in the sun for long time spans
Do not leave children or animals in parked cars. Even on cool days, strong sunshine can make car interiors very hot
Wear loose fitting clothes, allowing air circulation and protection from heat
In cases of feeling dehydrated and/or lot of perspiration, drink only cool water as it gets absorbed quickly in the body. Also, juices, sodas and cold water should be avoided for immediate relief
If you exercise regularly, try to shorten and relax the exercise regime a bit
After a possible cyclonic storm brewing in Southeast Bay of Bengal, we can see some more disturbances coming up in Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. At present, all the three Indian seas including the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea have become turbulent, giving rise to several weather systems.

India witnesses two cyclone seasons in a year. First is during pre-Monsoon season in April and May, while other is during post-Monsoon season in October and November. During this, all the Indian seas become active and may see several systems coming up. However, all these weather systems do not transform into cyclones.
May 13, 2016 16:02
According to AVM GP Sharma, President, Meteorology and Climate Change, Skymet Weather, “We expect these systems to combine together and further intensify into a well-marked low pressure area in Southwest Bay of Bengal by May 14.”
Thereafter, it is likely to strengthen into a depression and then possibly become the first cyclonic storm of the season.
This system will be responsible for the onset of Southwest Monsoon over Andaman and Nicobar Islands before the scheduled arrival.
