The Weather forecasts Predicted by the IMD-Indian Metorological Department is inversely proportional to the actual weather Conditions Prevalent.
Its hilarious to note that whenever the Met Dept Predicts heavy rains based on the downpour which has Occured on the previous day,the rains as if to show its dissent stops immediately.
On 22nd June 2010 a times of India report had stated that the weather bureau had Predicted a lull in the monsoons over Mumbai & Konkan due to Persisting low pressure in the designated area.
Lo and Behold the Rains as if acting on the cue arrived the same evening over the Konkan peninsula.
We are dazed at the near accurate predictions given by the BBC/ABC and Some other western Countries which gives ample time in warning the inhabitants of the impending weather Conditions which reduces the impact of the Calamity.
The Doppler Radar Purchased a Couple of years back was lying in the Municipal Corporation's warehouse waiting for Clearance from the Defence minstry as the same was to be installed by Chinese technicians at Colaba- a sensitive area from the Defence Point of View.It seems that the Municipal Corporation insists in Counting the Chickens before they are hatched.Where was the need of buying the Doppler Radar that too from the Chinese(may be to save Costs)when the location of installing the same was not known???
The IMD has become the object of ridicule by consistently Churning up wrong forecasts time and again and people rely more on their own instincts rather the Crap dished out by this outdated Organisation.
The Govt should recruit eminent scientists and Combined with the use of weather Satellites and State of the Art Technology try to revamp this Department in the interests of the Country.
