MONSOON 2017:MONSOON IS ALL SET TO HIT KERALA BY MAY 29TH

Monsoon is a word derived from Arabic word Mausim which means season.

Actually monsoon is a seasonal reversal of winds due to surface heating.During summer,Tibet plateau heats up and low pressure develops over there and high pressure develops over south Indian ocean that causes winds to move from high pressure to lower pressure.That's what you should know about monsoons.

Here's official and first monsoon update.

Tej (tropical easterly jet) that propagates monsoon in all monsoon zones including Pakistan,has set up and is indicating onset of monsoon in Andaman and Nicobar islands.

POSITIVE IOD:A MONSOON THRESHOLD:

As most models are now certain that positive IOD will develop during monsoon and it will serve good rains as posted in last update.

Monsoon likely to onset in Kerala by 29th May.

ENSO PHASE MAY REMAINS NEUTRAL HOWEVER FEW MODELS SAY EL NINO WILL REVIVE.

Monsoon to hit Sindh by first/second week of July (most probably).

Another detailed monsoon watch will be issued accordingly.

Monsoon occurs for temporary period but is associated with wet summers however,dry winters.On the other hand,western disturbance is extra tropical disturbance/cyclone originating from Mediterranean sea & make its journey towards Pakistan after crossing Iran, and Afghanistan.Unlike monsoon,western disturbance moisture is carried in upper atmosphere & western jet help it to transport to another place,due to which WD have less or negligible convection.But don't be confused,WD in most cases have high convection that leads to flooding rains (usually during interaction with monsoon currents). Unlike,monsoon currents which are usually seen in low levels of atmosphere,WD are usually found in mid & upper levels,in rare cases can b
