SPECTRA ON THE HORIZON: India may experience more deadly heatwaves in the years to come and during 1960to 2000 mean temperaturesin India from 27C to 27.5C, killing more than 100 people due to heatwaves. This is jump of 146% from 13% to 32%. In 1975 and 1976 there were only 43 and 34 heat related fatalities when the mean temperature was 27.4C. When higher than 28C, in 1998 at least 1600 people died. The most heatwave days occurred in 1998(16) when 1655 people died, and 2003(13) when 1500 died.
On June 8, 2017, Thursday Moon was at 22:30 India time it was at 252,526 miles or 406,401 km Earth from. It wasn’t however a full moon and the mini-moon would return about one month and 18 days later with each passing year. In 2018 smallest moon would show up on July 27, and in 2019 it will fall on September 14, and in 2020 on October 31. It frequently occurs in 14 lunar months, 14 returns to full moon a period of about one year and 48 days.That moment actually occurred on Thursday (June 8) at 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT), when the moon was 252,526 miles (406,401 km) from Earth. The moment of full moon comes 14 hours and 40 minutes later, at 9:10 a.m. EDT (1310 GMT) on Friday morning. For what it's worth, the moon will have moved 81 miles (131 km) closer to Earth, compared with the actual moment of apogee the previous evening. The moon will be at least 98-percent illuminated on four consecutive evenings: June 7, 8, 9 and 10. So from Wednesday through Saturday of this week, a casual observer who is not looking carefully at the moon would probably say that it looked full, since the defect of illumination is so slight. In contrast, when the full moon is near perigee, the change is more evident. Within 24 hours of full phase, even a casual observer would note the moon appearing slightly "out of roundness."

Parvati & Shankar who reside there.
RAINFALL: Most of Telangana received above normal pre-monsoon rainfall with Adilabad 114mm and Hyderabad received 110mm. Next two days Kerala would be pounded by 7-11 cm rain. Coastal Karnataka recorded 13 cm in the last couple of days. Real monsoon rains are little away. Heavy rains are likely in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema, Several places registered a rise in maximum temperatures during last 24 hours (11 June). Rainfall data: Bobbili8 cm,Pathapatnam 7 cm, Merakmudidam 5 cm, Guntur 4 cm, Gajapathinagaram 4 cm, Visakhapatnam 3 cm, Jupadu Bungalow 3 cm, and Chilamathur 1 cm. Northern limit of Mnsoon passes through Kolhapur,Gadag, Anantapur, Nellore with possible travelof monsoon toayalaseema and some partsof coastal Andhra. Last two days Visakhapatnam was cloudy but no heavy rain except a few showers.
Oceanic air flowing toward
India below 6,000 metres (19,700 feet) is deflected in accordance with the
Coriolis Effect. The converging moist oncoming stream becomes unstable over the
hot land and is subject to rapid convection. Towering cumulonimbus clouds rise thousands of metres, producing violent
thunderstorms and releasing latent heat in the
surrounding air. As a result, the upper tropospheric warm belt migrates north-westward
from the ocean to the land. The main body of air above 9,000 metres (29,500
feet) maintains a strong easterly flow. There would be no heat wave for the next five days despite slight
rise in temperature. Rains would continue at isolated places. On Saturday, the
national capital recorded 39.5 degrees maximum temperature and minimum 27.4
degrees Celsius -- both as per the season's average so far.
Saturday, June 10, 2017: 23:35: Mercury to rise in north India, no heat waves though: Barmer and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan were the hottest places across the country on Saturday, said the weather office, which forecast slight rise in temperature in entire north India, including Delhi, over the next three-four days.
Saturday, June 10, 2017 - 15:47: Overnight rain claims 12 lives in Maharashtra: Low-lying areas

MID NORTH COAST USA: Heavy rain and thunderstorms may lead to flash flooding in the Northern Rivers region and northern parts of the mid north coast. SES crews have already carried out 600 flood rescues this year and they don't want that number to rise, Ms Gollings said. Locations of concern include Lismore, Grafton, Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Woolgoolga and Dorrigo, while there are also warnings for the Brunswick, Wilsons and Richmond rivers. Up to 200 mm more rain could fall in parts of the Northern Rivers district over the following two days and some catchments may receive higher.

Ayutla, in Oaxaca state. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said the storm’s
center was about 40 miles (70 kilometers) west-southwest of Salina Cruz late
Monday, and it was moving northwest at 5 mph (7 kph). It had maximum sustained
winds of 40 mph (65 kph) but was expected to weaken as it continued heading

June 2017: 9 hours ago: Greece earthquake hits Lesbos: Tremors felt in Istanbul
and Athens. A
strong earthquake has struck off the Aegean coast of western Turkey and the
Greek island of Lesbos, with tremors felt in Istanbul and Athens. The epicentre of the 6.3R quake
was 5 km (3 miles) south of Plomari, a town on the coast of Lesbos. Several
buildings were damaged but the village of Vrisa was worst hit with 10 people
taken to hospital. Turkey and Greece sit on significant fault lines and
earthquakes are common. The initial quake struck at 15:28 (12:28 GMT) on Monday and was
followed by two aftershocks minutes later.
June 13 ,
2017 , 17:13 IST: Over the last week, mysterious cracks have been appearing in
the earth in the area of Manipur hills sending local residents to refugee camps
and drawing tourists curious to see the fissures breaking the roads. First
appearing on June 4, residents described a sudden 'earth movement' as the
mysterious 'earth crack' appeared in the Kankpokpi district of Manipur leading
to a panic of potential landslides. 
Fig.5 The cracks were extensive
in Songtun Manipur
The crack originated below the village of J
Songtun and spread towards Kalikhola village. Within 24 hours of the first
crack, 11 houses had collapsed and 19 others were on the edge. The cracks ran
through the surrounding paddy fields and roads destroying them as well. The
crack widened further and damaged structures within a 5 km radius, including
water pipelines and electric posts. In wake of the expanding cracks, around 250
people have been shifted to relief camps and Manipur Tribal Development
Minister N Kayisii has provided Rs 3 lakh in financial assistance to those
displaced by the fissure. The fissure was inspected by the principal secretary,
relief and disaster management along with other Kangpokpi officials and further
Rs 20 lakh was sanctioned as relief. However, the causes of the cracks remain a
mystery. Geological Survey of India sent a team to study the crack and while there
were rumors that the cracks were a result of a dormant volcano in the Koubru
range showing signs of life, the rumors were dismissed. An associate professor
at a science college in the state, Th Ranjit opined that the cracks were a
result of the recent bout of heavy rains in deforested hills which had rich
soil cover. Similar earth cracks have appeared internationally as well, in
South Africa and in US, in the middle of the Arizona desert. While sometimes
the cracks were attributed to the shifting of the earth's tectonic plates,
others were called sinkholes. Such cracks in Arizona were believed to be caused
by the withdrawal of ground water which left empty space where the earth caved
in.

Jun 15, 2017, 09.05 AM: Rain clouds thinning out in west and central India: Low-flying clouds that usually bring rain in the monsoon have thinned out and reduced over the years in India, according to a study of 50 years of observations. More or less rain can affect crop yields playing havoc with food security and the economy. More hot days also affects large numbers of people. Low clouds are usually those found up to 6,500 feet. They are very difficult to study and predict but have a great impact on trapping heat as also rain bearing. Changing climate has induced further unpredictability in their behavior.
