What is the story behind the famous #Bangalore weather?

It goes back 3400 million years...🧵
Around 3,400 million years ago, the peninsular ‘gneiss’ came out and was cooled from volcanic activity.

This is what formed the city’s bedrock today. But the rock itself weathered and stored water in shallow aquifers.
Bengaluru as we know it today, settled at the fag end of the Deccan plateau, 900 metres above sea level.

This gave it the #pleasant climate that Bengaluru is famous for.

Let’s now skip to 88 million years ago. >>

Some model output is currently calling for a very vigorous depression to run by the far NW of the #UK overnight Sunday into Monday... a thread.

A very nice example of a Shapiro-Keyser evolution.

1) Initial development (00Z Sun) takes place in the jet right-entrance. @wxcharts
2) 15 hours later - strong, active warm front, and weak, fractured cold front. Main air mass change to the rear of the developing seclusion.

Typical S-K cyclones forming in the W Atlantic stretch E-W in zonal upper flow, this one stretches N-S as the upper pattern is amplified.
2a) At the same time, differential cold advection taking place around the developing depression generates a strengthening jet-streak...

... the pattern wavelength is shortening and the system begins "self-development" as it creates its own jet left-exit.
