From Orissa to Gujarat: A journey of UAC!

Bay of Bengal in dead faint!

No major weather system forming!
The monsoon is likely to remain active over parts of central India and the Gangetic plain during the weekend due to the expected upper air cyclonic circulations. Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur over Konkan, Goa, coastal Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh during next two days. Isolated heavy rainfall also likely over Vidarbha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Assam, Meghalaya, sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim on August 5.
The models used by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, the Tokyo Climate Centre and the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate Society at Columbia University, all show that no major rainfall is likely to generate. However Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) believes that monsoon should re-intensify from August 13.

Widespread monsoonal activity in Pakistan!
The 4th spell of monsoon in upper parts of Pakistan was extended due to two western trough that later moved to India few days back. The monsoon showers still continue to batter many parts of Northern Pakistan, even though the rains this year has been scanty. Pakistan is now entering that time of the year where monsoon is on its peak intensity, though this year the story has been different. Temperatures were mostly normal with slight increase as cloudy monsoonal weather prevailed much over the monsoon regions of the country as forecasted by Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP). Humidity was extremely high in some northern parts of the country due to lack of westerlies as moist winds dominated the upper half of the country.What lies ahead for Pakistan? Well its week-long monsoon rains for some parts.
Monsoon had covered Punjab, Khyber, Kashmir, North-eastern Balochistan and Sindh. Monsoon covered the whole country on July 26, PWP forecasted on July 15 that monsoon will hit south-eastern and coastal Sindh during last week of July that came fruitful.
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP)’s forecast
“Notice: This is the forecast from Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP), we are 75% confident with this prediction. There will be slight variations in our forecast as certain meteorological factors develop and fade as time passes by and these factors are too isolated to be noticed on numerical charts or models, so if any change arises then PWP will update you.”
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) had forecasted on July 29 (Daily Update) that second monsoon spell may hit south-eastern and coastal Sindh in early August, earlier PWP forecasted and said;
“Moderate” chances of monsoon hitting Karachi during the end of second week of August.”
PWP upgraded that forecast to “high”, now PWP updates monsoon forecast to “extremely high” and we are confident that monsoon will cover the monsoon regions of Pakistan on August 11 mid-day or August 12 night. On August 5, PWP maintains it’s forecast to high at the moment.
Fresh monsoon rainfalls are likely in almost all parts of monsoon belt of Pakistan during the coming week. Fifth monsoon spell has started in Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber and Kashmir. While the fifth monsoon spell will start to lose its intensity from August 6 mid-day or August 7 early morning, it will however gain intensity from August 8 while rains will continue in Punjab, Khyber and Kashmir till a week.
As of 6:00 pm PST August 21, Various models, numerical charts and other meteorological parameters observed by PWP indicate that the upper air cyclonic circulations over Chhattisgarh will move to south-east Utter Pradesh (happened on August 5). It will move westwards and enter Madya Pradesh where there are slim chances of intensification of this UAC into a low pressure/well-marked low pressure from here it will start its journey to south-eastern Sindh, while moving it may maintain its intensity but it will send strong monsoon moisture to many parts of Pakistan (Punjab, Khyber and Sindh) while strong currents from Arabian sea while western trough will also enhance monsoonal activity over upper parts of Pakistan. The system will approach south-eastern Sindh by August 11 or August 12 morning, the system might maintain its intensity on its way to south Pakistan. Eventually it will start to dissipate after August 12 late .

What lies ahead?-A long-range forecast from Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP)
- Two monsoon spells in August??
- 3rd monsoon rainfall for Karachi???
“Notice: This is a long-range forecast of PWP, it will definitely change in coming days. But PWP wants to share this long-range forecast with its readers.”
The third week (starting from August 14) is a little tricky as forecast and predictions are varying, some models including the famous GFS is showing a strong weather system over the state of Madya Pradesh to head towards Sindh-Gujarat while other show that due to moisture laden winds and enhanced monsoon activity the rains will continue in the monsoon belt of Pakistan even after the passing 4 days since Independence day. Although long-range forecast do change but it is something to watch as monsoon will be on its peak intensity from the second week of August.
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) upgrades this forecast to “high”. This will be the third spell of monsoon in Sindh.
Death toll on hold as rains loses strength !

@Shoaib
No heavy rainfall likely in Balochistan, some showers could occur in north-eastern Balochistan like the city of Barkhan which is a monsoon city..
@ K.M, Can we say that Neutral conditions are responsible for In-Active BOB?
No…even in neutral conditions BOB give birth to depressions but since late 2009, something has went wrong with BOB…

watch it…………………..
What PWP said 5 days ago (August 3) is now being said by PMD on August 6…Widespread rainfall in Pakistan in coming weeks, PWP said this in “Monsoon of Pakistan page”
PWP said this on august 3 right ? and PMD issued this warning today, So how does it make it 5 days ? i don’t get it =p
People should also follow the daily updates in the right corner of the blog…at about 2:30 till 3:30 on August 1, thus 5 days, PWP did said about widespread rainfall, later it was replaced.. and again placed on August 3…
lol epic
goood
will there be heavy rains or will we get fooled like the 1st spell when dark clouds were coming and all we got was a drizzle???
since its a low pressure coming… so chances of heavy rainfall are high now… 1st spell was not drizzle it was moderate shower…
My area got drizzle :P
LaHoRe kA sCeNe kIA hAI?
Chances of rains with thunder/lightening and winds…
from 10th to 20th AUGUST, karachi main barish he barish, wow,
Ramadan k barket,ALLAH ka karam.
InshALLAH bohat barish ho gi,Ameen,
Thanks a lot in advanced my Sweet ALLAH,love you so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
shukar hai khi main bhi heavy rainfall ho sakti hain
@Km
will these rains in karachi will be like the 1st monsoon or will it be stronger thn that and will it remain raining for 3 to 4 days or not ??????
Heavier… well not straight 4 days there will be some ocassional gap…
yeh like that
@EVERY BODY
Chances of flash flooding/urban flooding this week in Pakistan…
And for Karachi??? Are there chances for flash and urban flooding?
If yes, then from which date is expected?
yes… from Ausgut 11 to 13…any one of these days…
Km metro will upper sindh get heavy rainfall more then middle and lower coastal sindh
slightly less then other parts… it will depend upon the track…
it is epected that karachi will receive aroun 300mm of torential downpour in coming days
300mm is bit of an exagerration. Its too premature to say the amount of rainfall Karachi would be receving with the current system. It could also turn out that system changes its direction or fizzess off and we might end up getting no rains. So please don’t raise your expecations.
Will the strong western trough interacting with the UAC cause it to intesify into a well marked low ?
OMG if the system comes towards Sindh without losing strength then there will be extremely heavy rainfall INSHA’ALL AH !
is this low or depression?
chances are present that it will intesify into depression as monsson current from arabian sea will help this system to do so
WTF ! :@ PMD’s Satellite image dead again :@
Whenever a system’s c0ming t0wards Sindh, Their sat. image g0es d0wn :@
@demon :
Like Baber bhai said, it will start to intensify into a l0w pressure fr0m t0night INSHA’ALLAH.
@EVERYONE :
Check out PMD’s Weekly forecast for Karachi, They’ve updated precipitation chart f0r Karachi to 106.6 MM OMG :D
Karachi metro yaar you said that system can also change its direction and system can also be fizzes out and in case of this there would be no rain
so will u tell us k how much percent chances of system to effect system…
check the pmd cities forecast….. hehehe wed ki prediction hi nahin hai …. next week shayad wed nahin ayega
@Tarim
No the western trough will not cause it to intensify…it will intensify from moisture and heat…
@Demon
its a UAC…as of now..
@Shabib
I said track might change…not anything else….
K m tell me one thing more…. when will rain start in khi ….. monday night tuesday , tuesday night or wed?
Chances from August 10 late and onwards, but that does not mean necessarily that they should start from August 10, a little ups and downs occur…. overall chances of drizzle in 48 hours and heavy rainfall with high winds from August 10 late…
nd wht about tuesday…. weather.com and pmd is showing rain on tuesday
Lol, again this current system is going to b same as the previous moonson system.
Earlier rains were forecasted on 9th august onwards but now system is saying the rain will start on Friday 12 August.
