I appreciate your efforts of compiling the top 10 weather bloggers of India.
However, in future I will ask you to obtain proper information from the bloggers including me about their blogs/Facebook pages, recent developments etc before making this list. I can see that information was collected from Kea,Vagaries, RingRoad,RRKelkar.. The information of METD WEATHER has been obtained from the blog which is rarely updated now as we have moved to a better - Facebook platform (facebook.com/deorasakshay) with better and clear goals and recent developments also which unfortunately have been missed In this list. Due to the same reason, the page views have gone down (which is being counted from May 2010) but we have significant increase in the Facebook supporters number.
Since all the blogs weren't started at the same time,there always will be a variation in their page views, I feel, you should change the parameter of listing from page views to something else. By doing this, those who have been listed at the bottom ( and may have potentials) won't be discouraged. Also I feel there is no need of comparing among the weather bloggers as everyone has a different objective and I don't know about others but personally I am working on improving this weather forecasting system.
My best wishes,
Akshay Deoras
METD WEATHER
@ Akshay Deoras
You are spot on "Since all the blogs weren't started at the same time,there always will be a variation in their page views" I have mentioned the same in the top 2 lines.
I dont need to ask anyone views. Its my compilation and all the page counters are there in the sites.
Its only a stat, dont take it personally. Just ignore it if you are not interested are dont like the article.

Pradeep
@ Akshay, the same is applicable to others too.
In the future, I will also ask you not to lincude METD WEATHER in your list ( even if the rank comes #1) as we don't want to compare ourselves with other bloggers when there is no need to compare as such. I didnt start my blog to allow others to compare. Give more chance to young,budding weather bloggers than the dominant old generation blogs,PLEASE. Don't discourage them!
Akshay Deoras
Pradeep, this is the second in the series, the first one was done and compiled some time back.
Its good and extensive, and no one need take it personally.
Congrats to you for the 1 lac mark, and wish you further success...which i ams sure you will get.
Akshay: No individual briefing was taken by pradeep , and he has done with personal search and efforts.
Hello Pradeep,
Kudos for the efforts you have put in to reach this level..It is a known fact that the study and research of weather is a never ending journey and nature has this habit of testing the best of experts,,Nice to know the number of Blog sites related to weather in our country..Keep up the good work and hope each and every blog site grows in stature and provide the much needed knowledge about the weather patterns.
Regards,
Shiva.
