Caught in the rain!

Caught in the rain!

It was violent windy rainfall while I landed in Ankurhati Bus stop. Depression created by Mahasen continues. I was worried about Sabita and her Prayas Team who were celebrating Rabindra Nazrul jayanti in Open. As is was also raining in Sode pur.The event was delayed but they managed to perform and it has been  a super hit.

Our office is situated on National Highway number Six, Bombay Road. We have to reach Ankurhati Chekpost and have to walk down our Office some 500 hundred mtrs amidst heavy traffick as trucks and heavy vehicles park on the footpath, we have to walk down on the highway itself which never does allow walking or crossing.

On Sunday, it is quite anarchy. In a weather like this we have to walk between danger lines. No option. On the bus stop, there is no shed at all. It is always risky to stop there. We have to walk on whatsoever may come.As umbrella has not to help you in violent windy rainfall, we have to get wet everytime.

It was Sunday. I was wet and had to change otherwise would get sick which we may not  afford.

My friends snapped the occasion. It portrays our daily suffering in the rainy season.

With the approach of June, sights in the Indian subcontinent have without a doubt been turning to the coming rains of the South West Monsoon.

Weary from weeks of dusty, sweltering heat, more than a billion people will hope for life-giving rain and a break from daytimes reaching 40 degrees to sometimes 45 degrees (104 to 113 degrees F).

The latest tropical cyclone, Mahasen, has been a harbinger of the coming seasonal flip in wind patterns that will breed widespread cloud and rain, beginning in the south and east of the subcontinent.

The southwest Indian state of Kerala, a bellwether for the onset of the South West Monsoon and the subject of a statistical model forecast by forecasters in India, normally witnesses the onset of the rain-giving phenomenon near the start of June. Within four to six weeks thereafter, the leading edge of the mega weather system would have spread throughout India, Bangladesh and Nepal to gain a foothold inside Pakistan.

Tropical Cyclone Mahasen has necessarily had some say in the onset timing of the Monsoon. As the India Meteorological Dept. (IMD) indicated in its website on May 15, the cyclone was instrumental in initiating a cross-equatorial flow in the lower atmosphere of the Andaman Sea and the nearby Bay of Bengal. It is cross-equatorial wind flow across the breadth of the Indian Ocean that is at the wheelhouse of South West Monsoon.

Based on the shifts over the eastern Indian Ocean, the IMD have stated, as of May 17, that the South West Monsoon has advanced to parts of the Andaman Sea and southern Bay of Bengal. However, the IMD also say that the onset timing in this part of the Indian Ocean basin has little predictive power with respect to monsoon advance and rainfall in India.

-Forecast for the Monsoon onset in Kerala state

Results of the IMD's statical model forecast point to a June 3 onset, give or take four days, of the 2013 South West Monsoon in the state of Kerala. Onset here was on June 5, 2012, but on May 23, 2009, the earliest onset for the period 2005-12.

In the meantime, going forward for the next one to two weeks, much of the subcontinent will continue to suffer stifling heat, topping 45 degrees C (113 F) in many instances. During this period, the worst of the heat will tend to shift northward and westward, settling over the Indus River plains and the Thar Desert before the end of May.

-Temperatures Soar

Thursday, readings hit the 45-degree-C heatwave benchmark in a few locations of India with southern Pakistan waxing hotter still. In India, Nagpur reached 45.4 degrees C (114 F), whereas Jaisalmer and Ramagundam hit 45 degrees C (113 F). All were at least marginally hotter on Friday.

In Pakistan, Nawabshah led the way Thursday, topping 47 degrees C (117 F). Right behind was Jacobabad, where 46.5 degrees C (116 F) was reached. Here again, Friday's reading were at least this high.
