What is in store for November 1st week Depression / Cyclone - An early update on the scenarios
-----------------------
Blue dots (Google Weathernext) others ECMWF AI, GFS AI brings it closer to North Tamil Nadu-SAP coast.
Red dots (ECMWF ensemble) - Takes the cyclone same landfall as Arnab.
We will get clarity once Arnab fizzles out. AI vs ECMWF once gain. Lets hope AI beats ECMWF Operational / Ensembles this time.
Note: 1st week of November climatologically favours North TN/ SAP.

The level of desperation and distress felt in this era underscores the need for self-awareness, organizing, and political ed. Cuz knowing who to be mad at is part of the work.

Montaigne once said that he hoped death found him planting his cabbages, and there's immense wisdom in that: the only way to live without regret is to do things so intrinsically meaningful that even if rudely interrupted by death you would not think you had wasted your time
