While they are chipping away at d natural forest of #SGNP measuring over 30,000 acres, some of them gloat over a pittance park of just 20 acres.
I will never understand humans. #CentralPark

I’m looking forward to visiting this. A 20 acre park in Thane.
Hope there is no entry fee for the park or even if it is - it’s just a token fee to ensure miscreants don’t ruin the environment

This is more than a #RamMandirPranPrathistha. The start of a much awaited and repeatedly denied, revival of our culture and civilisational heritage 🇮🇳🚩

There's an undeniable aura around him, knowing he's finally back where he belongs🙏

With the main unseasonal heat done, #MumbaiWinter now loading...Coldest spell of the winter so far likely Jan 16-19 and possibly beyond, thanks to a change in airmass.

Expected approx temperature distribution for this period shown in map below👇

#MakarSankranti Jan 15 morning likely to be a shock to the system after the heat with bulk of the cold spell expected Tuesday onwards.

#Mumbai #NaviMumbai #Thane will see ~16-18°C minimums, whereas #Palghar #Kalyan #Dombivli interiors will see temps ~14-15°C.

Festive time is here .. amongst the many things that humans need to be reminded is ... 'If you don't have #Christmas in your heart, you will not find it under a #tree either.'
#MerryChristmas everybody!

Closely watching tropical development in #ArabianSea around #NewYear2024 👀🌧️

Still early days, but depending on interactions with the Jet, will determine if we have a wet start to the new year or not.

Strong MJO pulse, high upper level divergence aided by south shifted #JetStream and SST are quite favourable.

We've had model concensus for about a week now, for a Depression or stronger system to form around #Maldives region. Still too early to say if we will have a #Cyclone but will definitely be a rare event.

Dear Team India,

We stand with you today and always.

‘The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn’

Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which parts of two different trees, commonly but not exclusively the same species, grow together, self grafting and sharing nutrients

The term emanates from latin- ōsculārī, to kiss

[Athreya Shetty 🇮🇳 @shetty_athreya]

As expected, evening #thunderstorms⚡ continue in many parts of #konkan region. Daytime #Octoberheat and plenty of moisture support, sets off these powerful post monsoon TS ⛈️

As said yesterday, upcoming WD #trough will increase these activities including #MumbaiRains 🌧️from tomorrow

Expect extremely mild winters in Mumbai this year 2023. El Niño this time is stronger and longer and likely to last till summer 2024. #mumbai #heat #winter https://t.co/AMjjKI9N0V

What a historic achievement for India at the Asian Games!

The entire nation is overjoyed that our incredible athletes have brought home the highest ever total of 107 medals, the best ever performance in the last 60 years.

The unwavering determination, relentless spirit and hard work of our players have made the nation proud. Their victories have given us moments to remember, inspired us all and have reaffirmed our commitment to excellence.

#Monsoon2023 has further withdrawn from west MP, entire #Gujarat, some parts of central MP.

Further withdrawal from remaining MP, parts of #Vidarbha possible until the weekend.

However, as below image shows building anticyclone over S Guj / N Maharashtra by the 8th will trap moisture at 850 hpa, preventing withdrawal from #konkan and #Mumbai until next week.

2 LPAs in Arabian Sea & BOB!! ⚠️

Models indicate after a shear zone/trough which will develop parallel to East India coastline for next 36-48 hours, it will move towards South from Sept 26-27, and give rise to 2 new LPAs by September end,

And thus we'll witness a lot of #MumbaiRains by Sept end and First week of October.

Probability for this has crossed 50% now, it is likely for this formation to happen, as per my experience as favourable conditions are high during that timeline.

Kerala, Karnataka coast will get a lot of rain due to this formation of this LPA. #TamilNadu will also get good rain during this timeframe.

#Mumbai and #Konkan coast along with #Gujarat, will be highly affected by this.

Will give rain accumulation in some days, as we get proper estimation for the trajectory of LPAs and their intensities.
