Thiruvananthapuram: The southwest monsoon could set in earlier this time, with the Andaman Sea shown as receiving the first wave of rains around May 9-10, according to international models. The onset over the Andamans normally happens around May 15. The early
Reliable medium range prediction of monsoon weather is crucial for disaster preparedness. Weather in tropics, controlled by fast growing convective instabilities is, however, intrinsically less predictable than that in extra?tropics. Increased frequency and intensity of extreme rain events in the tropics in the backdrop of global warming has a potential …
The "long-range" forecast of another normal monsoon has little practical utility as it cannot be used to plan for agriculture or water reserves Business Standard / New Delhi April 21, 2009, 0:49 IST The
India's annual monsoon is likely to be 96 percent of the long-term average, which would make it the worst season in five years, although the near normal forecast raised hope for economic support and bumper crops. While the Indian Meteorological Department's predictions have often varied substantially from the actual June-September …
Mumbai With heavy rains wrecking the daily lives of Mumbaikars becoming an accepted feature, the operations at the Mumbai airport also remains one of the areas that is affected when clouds burst over Mumbai every monsoon season. While the city side of the international airport is usually seen flooded after …
Mumbai: The government has pulled up Central Railway (CR) and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for their lack of preparedness for the monsoon. At the first pre-monsoon disaster management meeting on Friday, additional chief secretary (home) Chandra Iyengar had called officials from various state, central and semigovernment agencies. Iyengar …
New Delhi: The Met department on Friday forecast another year of near normal monsoon for the country, predicting 96 per cent rains over the four-month period of June-September. The forecast is likely to bring cheer to farmers as well as the industry as good rainfall is extremely crucial in agriculture …
P. Sunderrajan NEW DELHI: The India Meteorological Department on Friday forecast that rainfall during the coming southwest monsoon season would be near normal, at 96 per cent of the long period average (LPA). The model error will be plus or minus 5 per cent for the country as a whole …
The impact of climate change on the lives and livelihoods of people in India is now widely recognised. Yet, there is neither a consensus on the definition of vulnerability to climate change nor a full, regionally-nuanced mapping of the variable impact of such a change. It is only when a …
Although persistent drought in West Africa is well documented from the instrumental record and has been primarily attributed to changing Atlantic sea surface temperatures, little is known about the length, severity, and origin of drought before the 20th century. We combined geomorphic, isotopic, and geochemical evidence from the sediments of …
India's monsoon rains, vital for the farm-dependent economy and the success of major crops, may exceed the norm this year if the El Nino system that brings drier weather fails to appear, as expected, forecasters say. That would be good news for a country hit by the global recession, ensuring …
Fresh data confirming accelerated warming over western Himalayas just ahead of the onset of the Indian monsoon year after year could have important implications for the monsoon as well as the Himalayan glaciers, experts say. The temperature of air over western Himalayas had been showing an increasing trend during the …
Fundamental to the onset of the Indian Summer Monsoon is the land-sea thermal gradient from the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas-Tibetan Plateau (HTP). The timing of the onset is strongly controlled by the meridional tropospheric temperature gradient due to the rapid pre-monsoon heating of the HTP compared to the relatively …
