8th Dec 2016 - Chennai will miss the ROSE - the 'Vardah' cyclone

Chennai needs rain. Period. We are more than 60 deficit this season.

However, the system near Andaman Nicobar islands causing havoc now, may not even touch Chennai shores. Looks like Vardah will move up north and impact coastal Andhra Pradesh and Odisha . Chennai may have most wanted rain showers on 12 and 13 Dec. None of the global NWP models suggest anything other than this.

Again, this is not a disaster for Chennai but most wanted rain.

Keep moving with your daily routines.


Save rain water. Do not let it into the drain.

Cyclone Vardah might bring some good rain to us in Chennai. Spread the word.

Vardah might land near Chennai... though it might weaken further. The IMD Radar are reflecting the same now. Also, the region it might cover is from Chennai and beyond Nellore. North Coast of Tamil Nadu and Southern Coast region of Andhra Pradesh will experience heavy rains in the next few days even starting today 11 Dec. The good news is, in Chennai we will have rain and during the landfall of the system it might be weak. Its good to be prepared. Hope the bureaucrats are aware and ready to act.
