1/N What is dry air and how it affects LPA or cyclone? Check this thread #Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022 #Chennai #TamilNadu #94B
2/N Low pressure forms when air is warm from ocean surface(it can be from warm land as well)
When warm air rises low area of low pressure is created in ocean which attracts cool air as air moves from high pressure to low pressure area.#Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022
3/N Since low pressure area (LPA) is warm region which expands & warm air rises. Once warm air rises more void will be created. To fill the void more air rushes into LPA. Again, the incoming air become warm & rises. This process continues #Chennairains #Tamilnadurains #NEM2022

Long post alert

There has been a lot of talk about what is likely to happen for #Chennai and the surrounding districts in the next 4 days.

And it's been a while since I last gave a concrete update and so this I feel is the time to give one

#chennairains #chennaiweather (1/n)
To answer the big question here.

Will #Chennai and surrounding districts get heavy to very heavy rains as being discussed everywhere.

The straightforward answer would be a big "YES".

HEAVY TO VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS VERY LIKELY IN THE NEXT 4 DAYS FOR CHENNAI AND SURROUNDINGS.
The next question that is being is being widely asked is why?

There is a low pressure area that is forming and taking shape in the Central Bay of Bengal region and is likely to move west towards Northern #Tamilnadu coast

It can become a well marked low and at best, a depression

Waited for the last week or so- to have a consensus - but I suppose before a consensus, rains could lash. Hence posting this.

Extreme rainfall alert once again for #Chennai

#ChennaiRains2021 #Chennai #ChennaiRains #chennaiflood #ChennaiRain #chennaiweather #TamilNadu
Twin circulations on both sides of the Indian Peninsula decide the fate of #Chennairains now. With the MJO in Phase 3- firmly - indications of an easterly surge and also a low-level circulation would increase the convective activity over #Central and #Northern #TamilNadu
Moderate rainfall for #Chennai to start from the evening. Southern suburbs ECR OMR Region would experience moderate to heavy rainfall from afternoon City will start to get rains from evening. Rains are expected through night and tomorrow it is going to be heavy to extremely heavy

Extremely heavy rainfall alert for #Chennai

Close to 200+ mm rainfall is expected in most places in the city overnight.

I am still seeing messages where people are asking whether it would rain as it is being "hyped". Please note that if it doesn't happen we would be the happiest.

But unfortunately - the blogging community on the whole is of the same opinion that there would be heavy rains
Not only Chennai

#Kanchipuram #Chengalpattu #Kallakurichi #Villupuram #Cuddalore #Nagapattinam #Karaikkal #Pondicherry #Ranipet #Thiruvallur #Vellore and even #Krishnagiri should be on high alert as the system is expected to move inland

91B is gradually intensifying and rainfall will gradually increase over the course of the day.

Whatever warnings that were given still hold good.

Avoid venturing out.

#ChennaiRains #Chennai #ChennaiRain #chennaifloods #ChennaiRains2021 #ChennaiFlood #chennaiweather
#Nellore to #Karaikkal coast to be on high alert as the system is consolidating and the cloud bands are getting organized- slowly and steadily.

This would mean that rains will be more as the system nears the coast
Many asked me that there is not as much rainfall as anticipated. This would be primarily because the system is getting organized slowly and building a strong convective outer band. You can clearly see in the below image

While I dont want to create panic a couple of points from side
1 #Cuddalore & #Nellore coastal Stretch need to under extreme alert for heavy to very heavy rains peaking on Thursday/Friday Morning
2 There is a possibility Depression might slow down near #Chennai
Thread 1/2 #COMK
3 If it slows down we may see the depression stay within 100 kms radius of Chennai for more than 12 hours.
4 In this case we may see a very heavy rainfall episode between #Mahabalipuram & Sriharikota though I can't pinpoint exact location. #Chennai needs extreme vigil
2/3 #COMK
5 #Chennai has seen good #Rains this year with annual avg already reached by the IMD obs. The soil moisture levels are high which will increase surface water runoff creating localized flooding / water logging. So if you lie in a low lying area Be Prepared #COMK #ChennaiRains 3/3

Thread: Will post visuals from different parts of Chennai and other updates to give a sense of the situation on ground today.

Though water has receded at some places, several roads are still waterlogged.

A thread: With the lethal flooding in NY and NJ & elsewhere this year, journalist Ann Scott Tyson @csmonitor asks if China's Sponge Cities program works to absorb floods, citing Zhengzhou's recent flooding that killed 73 people. That's the wrong question. csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pac…
The massive rainstorms climate change is bringing are a big problem. But the flooding is not just caused by climate change. Our infrastructure is making flooding worse: both urban sprawl and pavement and our concrete water control structures.
China's Sponge City program is among the most ambitious on earth, but their scale is probably not yet sufficient. We must look beyond the city to the whole watershed and make space for water upstream in floodplains and farm fields.

In an encroachment matter of waterbodies in Chennai, #MadrasHighCourt said,
“If the pandemic has taught us a lesson, it is that the human species may not yet be smart enough to beat nature.”

#pandemic #water #pollution
CJ Sanjib Banerjee led Division Bench was informed about a dumping ground being created at one end of the waterbody, and an incinerator for burning waste material being put on another corner.
#MadrasHC #water
The court said that these lakes and waterbodies not only nourish life but provide for year-round water in a State where drinking water is not available as much as required.
