Not A Degree, But A Strong Weather Sense
Speaking to The Better India, the 41-year old Weatherman of Mumbai said that he works in a Monday to Friday job, but before sleeping at night, examines the weather conditions for a couple of hours to find out what’s in store. He wakes up at 5:30 AM, refers to various weather applications, predicts the local weather conditions and shares his updates on Twitter before heading to work. Thanks to his exact predictions, many netizens eagerly look forward to his updates. Many also keep posting questions related to weather on his Twitter handle.
Update – next few days we will see on and off moderate rain. Between 20th to 22nd July is when a LPA forms near Odisha coast & expect moderate to heavy consistent rain. 21st July still looks like the day. These Bay of Bengal LPA led rains are much easier to interpret #mumbairains
