The IMD has announced the formation of #CycloneJawad. However, the system looks similar to an intense tropical depression. It doesn't have any potential to rapidly intensify or intensify into a numbered tropical cyclone due to factors such as moderate to high vertical shear.

In today's @LoksattaLive #Mumbai, I share my views on factors responsible for the recent #MumbaiRains, which have set an all time record.

Santacruz & Colaba received 91 & 90 mm rainfall respectively — most rainfall in a day in Dec. This Dec is now the wettest Dec on record.

I share my views on this year's winter forecast for #NewDelhi.

It will be interesting to see if today's rainfall event breaks the all time record (most rainfall over 24 hours in December) of 53.8 mm due to Cyclone Ockhi during 5–6 December 2017.

The @Indiametdept has just issued a seasonal temperature outlook for the winter (December–February). Normal to above normal minimum temperatures are expected over many parts of northwest #India.
