ABSTRACT
Skymet
has forecast a normal monsoon for 2015 and sticking to its prediction. It
rejected IMD forecast saying that Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) counters the El
Nino weather event. Deficient Monsoon predicted for this year raising
doubts of drought in the country feels the Earth Sciences Minister. The
large rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Irrawaddy and the small rivers Mahanadhi,
Godavari and Krishna together contribute 1100 Km^2 of continental fresh water
to the BoB between July and September. It is transported down south by East
Indian Coastal current of the BoB. It impacts the cyclones and regional climate
in the BoB. It is unique in India and this coastal flow of fresh water along
the Eastern coastal line of India cannot be observed elsewhere in the world. Low
rainfall won't hit economy said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in spite of
second straight year predictions.
The gap between the coast and the sea was 250 meters in Visakhapatnam now it shrunk to 60 meters. Disapearence of Sand dunes and hillocks along the beach coast in Vizag is phenomenol. About 170 sites along the coast between Kerala and West Bengal erosion is taking place at a dangerous route.
Wootz steel or Seric Iron characterized by bauds of micro carbides developed in South India in the 6th century B.C.E and exported globally and there are more than 300 ports in Telangana all of them have a rich history. Metal floats on water created a buzz in the U.S. It is a synthetic magnesium alloy synthetic foam involving micro-balloons.
Each water dropletS run computers and can carry some chemicals and becomes its own test tube. And the droplet computer offers unprecedented control over these interactions and it is useful for high-throughput chemistry and biology laboratory.
Scientists and taxonomists of the country have discovered 349 new species of flora and fauna in the past one year in India. In India 96,891 species of animals’ and 47,791 species of plants have been recorded so far.

12K years ago wild animals in Telangana
A shocking rock painting of a giraffe in Warangle at Pandavulagutta revealed its origin in India instead of Africa.Most of the paintings depict a range of wild animals like bison, antelope, elephants, tiger, leopard, horse, crocodile, crab, fishes, porcupine, insects, tortoise, lizard, langur, vultures, eagle, crane, peacock and butterfly. Symbol of swastika, geometric shapes like circles, and squares, icons for hut, fence, sun and honey combs, weapons like bows, arrows, sword and lancer are also in the paintings. At many rock paintings sites, ther exists layers of paintings traversing different ages indicating that humans from Mesolithic age to as early as 13th century BC used the same rock as canvas by applying white wash over an earlier painting. Colors used for rock paintings were white pigments made from kaoline green color from copper compounds, red, yellow, orange and brown from hematite and oxides of Iron. Colors retained intact over the years due to chemical reaction resulting from oxide present on rocks. Rich heritage revealed in the rock paintings found in several places including Warangle, Rangareddy, Khammam and Adilabad. These paintings date back to Mesolithic age (10,000BCE), Neolithic age (3000BCE - 1400BCE) and some even from 10-13 century BCE.

HEAT TOLL RISES
The heat toll rose to 2248 due to torrid weather conditions Nation wide, prevailing on Sunday and since Saturday 41 deaths were reported due to heat stroke.
RAINS
Skymet it rejected IMD forecast saying that Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) counters the El Nino weather event. A positive IOD creates a barrier in the eastern Indian Ocean and all the southwesterly winds blow towards the Indian sub-continent causing rains but leading to droughts in parts of Indonesia and Australia. in 1967, 1977,1997 and 2006 a positive IOD brought adequate rains to India despite the emergence of an El Nino.
31st May 2015
In Tirupati rain coupled with strong winds paralyzed normal life on Sunday 31st May afternoon. The rain lasted only for an half hour. Kadapa district witnessed moderate rain on Sunday 31st May, and in Obulavariaplle mandal hailstorm damaged horticultural crops. As various parts of Chittoor district witnessed rain afternoon about 25 people admitted to hospitals due to heat wave since Sunday morning and three persons died due to sunstroke.Hailstorm with gushing winds in V. Kota, Palamaner, Yadamatri, Bangarupalem, Irala, Puttallipatu, Pakala, Chandragiri, and Penumuru mandal in Chittor districts caused huge damage to mango crops, banana, tomato, onion, termeric, sugarcane and other crops. The wind speed blown off asbestos sheets on sheds providing shelter to devotees at Swambu Varasiddhi Vinayaka Swamy temple.

Rains brought down temperatures in Vijayawada by 7 deg C.
Heat waves are on the rise in India during 2001 to 2010 compared last four decades, warmed period for the globe as well. Urban forest creation by planting 4000 trees seems a solution.
Rain forecast seems to be a gamble on monsoon but if the monsoon forecast is accurate, the country would witness the 12th worst drought since 1950. This is fourth time in 30 years. Skymet has forecast a normal monsoon for 2015 and sticking to its prediction. Deficient Monsoon predicted for this year raising doubts of drought in the country feels the Earth Sciences Minister June 2nd news.

FRESH WATER MASS IN BoB
Fresh water in Ocean and oceanographers discovered along the eastern coast of the Bay of Bengal. Samples collected from Paradeep to Colachel along coast allowed a detailed description of this uncommon oceanic feature of fresh water flow in the ocean. ( Bulletin Amer. Meter. Society 2015). The large rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Irrawaddy and the small rivers Mahanadhi, Godavari and Krishna together contribute 1100 Km^2 of continental fresh water to the BoB between July and September. It is transported down south by East Indian Coastal current of the BoB. It impacts the cyclones and regional climate in the BoB. It is unique in India and this coastal flow of fresh water along the coastal line cannot be observed elsewhere in the world.

INDIA RICHER BY NEW SPECIES
Scientists and
taxonomists of the country have discovered 349 new species of flora and fauna
in the past one year- 173 species and genera of plants and 176 species of
animals. The significant findings include nine new taxa of wild Musa (bananas),
four species of black plumes (Jammu), three species of wild gingers and 10
species of orchids. The Western Ghats accounted for22% of new discoveries while
the north-Eastern states each accounted for 15% of the spices found. The
Arunachala Pradesh alone 25 species of seed plants were discovered. About 93
species of insects, seven species of collembolans, 12 species each of
arachnidan and crustacean and one species of mollusca were discovered. Two
reptiles new ones one in Taml Nadu and the other in Madya Pradesh were found. A
large number of amphibians and fish made it to the list with 24 and 23 new
species.
Last year 614 new species of plants and
animals’ viz., 366 plants and 248 animals were discovered. In India 96,891
species of animals’ and 47,791 species of plants have been recorded so far.
COMPUTER
RUNS BY WATER DROPLETS
An idea struck Manu
Prakash an Asst. Prof. of Bioengineering at Stanford University, when he was a
graduate student. Prakash wondered if he could use little droplets as bits of
information and utilize their precise movement to process both information and
physical materials.
He decided to build a rotating magnetic
field that act as a clock to synchronize the droplets. Prakash built arrays of
tiny iron bars on glass slides that look something like a PakMan maze. They
laid a blank glass slide on top and sandwiched a layer of oil in between and into
the mix the water droplets had been infused with tiny magnetic nano-particles.
Next they turned on magnetic field. Every time the field flips, the polarity of
the bars reverses drawing the magnetized droplets in a new predetermined
direction. A camera records the interactions between individual droplets
allowing the observation of computation as it occurs in real time. It is useful
for high-throughput chemistry and biology laboratory. Each droplet can carry
some chemicals and becomes its own test tube and the droplet computer offers
unprecedented control over these interactions.

The monsoon has got off to a
good start after a slightly delayed onset, with widespread showers over the
past five days taking the countrywide rain tally to 13% above normal so far
this month.
A top IMD scientist said a
rain-bearing system called the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) was currently
passing through the Indian Ocean and had energized the Bay of Bengal arm of the
monsoon. MJO is an eastward moving pulse of cloud and rain near the equator
that typically recurs every 30 to 60 days.
Indian
Ocean Dipole mimics El Nino-La Nina in the equatorial Pacific; the positive
phase is when the western part of the ocean warms up relative to the east, and
vice versa. The
positive dipole phase has come to the rescue of the Indian monsoon in the past,
notably in 1997, which was a strong El Nino year.

Bhopal on the other hand, has observed heavy showers in the past 24 hours. The city
recorded 85 mm of rain in just a span of 24 hours, which is the city’s third
highest 24-hour rainfall record in the last 10 years. The onset of Monsoon has
already been announced in the region after the city experienced a rainy spell. The first 12 days of
June were dry for Bhopal, but after June 13, the city received light to
moderate rain leading to favourable conditions for the onset of Monsoon. Heavy
rain on June 15 are the first good Monsoon showers that the state capital received.
RAIN WARNING EXTENDED
Southwest
Monsoon covered entire coastal Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra
Pradesh on June 13. Rapidly progressing further, Monsoon on June 14 now covered
entire Maharashtra, south Gujarat, central and south Madhya Pradesh, parts of

Since
June 14, the Southwest Monsoon has been static and is passing through Veraval, Surat, Ujjain, Narsinghpur, in Madhya Pradesh, Raipur, Kalingapatnam, Krishnanagar and Darjeeling. The movement of the Monsoon line has been a
little restricted because the cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal is
still not organised. Meanwhile, there is another cyclonic circulation brewing
in the Arabian Sea which will take about 48 hours to get organised and help in
the advancement of Monsoon.

Rainfall in June is
almost certain to be significantly more than normal, going by predictions of
weather scientists from Australia to the US, giving a flying start to the
four-month season that brings 75 per cent of the rainfall the country receives
and fills up water reservoirs for irrigation and hydropower generation for a
year. The monsoon has already delivered 16 per cent excess rainfall
since the start of the season on June 1, and is expected to remain strong at
least until the end of the month. The
system, called Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), has strengthened rain-bearing

RELAXING RAIN IN VIZAG ON 22nd June.
NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of M-class solar flares and a 30% chance of X-flares on June 22nd.
NEUTRON DETECTION
For the first time, the group's Space Weather Payload included a bubble chamber for measuring neutrons. The device flew 109,012 feet above California's Sierra Nevada mountain range, then parachuted back to Earth, landing near Death Valley National Park. The results: Neutrons were detected.
Circled above are some of the bubbles that formed as neutrons passed through the chamber. By counting the bubbles, it is possible to estimate the total dose of neutron radiation absorbed during the 3 hour flight. The answer is 600 microRads (energy range 200 keV - 15 MeV). Interestingly, this is almost the same dose detected by on board X-ray and gamma-ray sensors: 620 micro-Rads (energy range 10keV to 20MeV).

SUNSPOT AR2371
Sunspot AR2371 has erupted again, producing a strong M 6.5 class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the flare's extreme ultraviolet flash on June 22nd at 18:23 UT.This is due to solar protons and electrons being funneled into the polar regions by Earth's magnetic field. It rained in Visakhapatnam on the early morning of 23rd June from 2 AM to 3 AM.
WE ARE ALL STAR DUST!
The spectra of stars also allowed astrophysicists to determine the speed at which they move toward or away from Earth.As nuclear physics, quantum mechanics and particle physics grew in the first half of the 20th century, it became possible to formulate theories for how nuclear fusion could power stars. These theories describe how stars form, live and die, and successfully explain the observed distribution of types of stars, their spectra, luminosity, ages, and other features.The nuclear fusion process that energizes them smashes together hydrogen atoms to form the heavier element helium. Thus, astrophysics tells us that, while we are not all stars, we are all stardust.
SPACE WEATHER
Earth has entered a fast-moving (800 km/s) stream of solar wind. It is unclear whether this stream is related to the expected arrival of a CME on June 27th. At the moment, geomagnetic activity remains low; the low-density stream is doing little to upset Earth's magnetic field.
