Vedic Astro-Meteorology is the science of using the vedic sutras (aphorisms) on astronomy to forecast global weather conditions. An astro-meteorologist, S. Ramachandran from Tamil Nadu has been researching this field since 1997 and has successfully published Weather forecasts with the ancient Vedic knowledge system as the basis.

Vedic astro-meteorology is a geocentric study ie. it keeps Earth as the central point of study. S. Ramachandran prepares a geocentric planetary graph every year using data from the NASA website and juxtaposes it with the veidic sutras (aphorisms or formulae available in Vedic texts) to forecast weather and earthquakes. According to him, these texts explain inter-planetary relationships, the struggle between their orbiting positions and the effect of their disturbance on the sun and the earth. Explaining further he says, <blockquote>''"In Vedic astro-meteorology the geocentric study has divided the solar system into two parts for studying the behaviour patterns — one among the planets between sun and earth and the second among planets beyond earth. They also provide significance to the alignment of plants with a particular star in the zodiac. For instance, the 2004 tsunami in Chennai which occurred on a full moon day, was owing to a particular inter-planetary struggle and the effect was delivered by moon aligning with Mrigasrisham (Orionis)."'' <ref>http://technewsinenglish.blogspot.com/2012/06/i-predict-natural-disasters-using-vedic.html</ref></blockquote>

S.Ramachandran: As per IMD and the meteorological institutes world over consider that seasons start in a specific period and end in a specific period like a train. I cannot agree to that. According to them the South-West monsoon season should end by 30th of September. But this year, the South-West monsoon season will go beyond that. This year's South-West monsoon will show a relief by 16th August and again rain between 18-20 August. Infact, my prediction starts from the first week of September. If you see that, I have given rainfall with winds at isolated places until the second week of September with date specifications. All my forecats are available on [http://tamilnadumandram.com/vedic-astro-meteorology-annual-weather-forecast-for-2018/ tamilnadumandram.com.]

Beginning from September 16th until the third week of October monsoon will be activated once again. And once again there will be rains in Kerala, the South and the North-east. There are chances of reduced rainfall in central and North-West India. But definitely beginning with the third week of September, there are high chances of rainfall in Kerala and the South.

Interviewer: How similar is your prediction to that of the IMD ?

S.Ramachandran: As far as IMD is concerned, they have two types of predictions. One is the numerical model which is their monsoon forecast. Before the end of May, they provide an approximation as to the percentage of the South-West monsoon and the areas that will be covered. The detailed forecast is not accessible to general public, they may be providing it to the departments in the respective states. But, the numerical model is not scientific. The numerical model which takes into account a short duration of 60 to 100 years as the basis is not an appropriate method to approach such a vast subject. Their short term forecasts is called the dynamic model and is computerised prediction that they give for 10 days or 240 hours. Even in that, not just IMD, even NOVA or the UK based Meta office, they can all be believed to an extent of 48-72 hours. We cannot trust accuracy for beyond 48 hours. Within that, the precipitation calculation is correct only for up to 24 hours and beyond that it varies. So their method is completely observation based; based on satellite pictures, wind direction, its levels, ocean templates etc.

My method is purely theory based. Also, one should not compare me to them. Because, meteorological department is a research institute with huge man-power, system support and international tie-ups and mine is individual research. This is something I do beyond my profession solely on account of my interest with restricted devotion of time towards it. My qualification is also an hindrance. Even though I have studied physics, I haven't worked in that field beyond it. I learnt fast because of my passion and I am still improving on that. In this Science, whatever I have predicted have all come true and there has been destruction. Both the destruction due to drought as well as the floods have pained me. My wish is that if the government takes this up in a big level through a research institute and perfects it, within 2 years forecasts for many future years can be made ready. And I can say with confidence that human labour will not be wasted and there will be no loss of human life.
