JUST ONE FLIGHT OF GO AIR FROM DELHI TO NAGPUR C'D MAKE IT TO THE AIRPORT WHILE THE REST MORNING FLIGHTS WERE DIVERTED TO HYDERABAD, BHOPAL,MUMBAI. THE GO AIR FLIGHT ALSO CIRCLED OVER NAGPUR BUT DUE TO DENSE CLOUD COVER IT HAD TO RETURN TO BHOPAL. THE PILOT TOOK THE RISK TO LAND AND MADE THE AIRCRAFT LAND AT NAGPUR. THIS WAS TOLD BY MY UNCLE WHO TRAVELED ON THIS FLIGHT.

METD WEATHER PRE FORECAST OF THIS INCIDENT
ON FRIDAY,6TH AUGUST 2010 EARLY MORNING METD WEATHER HAD ISSUED A PDS AND MARK 5 ALERT FOR CENTRAL INDIA AND I HAD MENTIONED THAT FLOODING SITUATIONS ARE LIKELY.THE EXACT SCENARIO HAPPENED. THUS ACCURACY EXIST!
METD WEATHER FORECAST
All this was due to a low pressure which had set over Central India and had intensified on the way. I am able to see the additional moisture due to this system over Central India
On SUNDAY, rainfall will still hammer parts of Eastern and Central Maharashtra and will add more to the problems BUT IN LESS SCALE as I am seeing the low pressure to move over Gujarat.
Nagpur- Rains will continue on Sunday also. In all will be a rainy day and a COOL DAY
RAIN QUANTUM WILL DECREASE FROM MONDAY...
