Memories from my first ever St Patrick's Day Parade in New York City. An Experience of a lifetime!
Here are some videos I captured standing along 5th Avenue beside Central Park and the Plaza Hotel.
I had never experienced a St Paddy's day parade anywhere, never mind the arguably most famous of them all, the famous Parade hosted by New York City. Not only attracting hundreds of thousands of marchers from across America, Canada and of course Ireland, marchers come from all continents to flood bustling 5th Avenue and surrounding streets.
As well as locals from all corners of the New York's sprawlling 5 borough's and particularly surrounding states such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and indeed upstate New York filling commuter trains, buses and even ferries, the already dense influx of people streaming into the Big Apple for a typical workday swells incredibly by as much as 2 million. Only The Big Apple could handle such volumes of people in a city already packed from one end of Manhattan to the other.
If you've visited this amazing city before, you'll know well the vibrance, mighty power and stunning diversity this world class metropolis has to offer with it's endless choice of restuarants, parks, world famous monuments and sights to it's incredible energy which blows the mind.

VAGARIES OF THE WEATHER
INDIA & SUB-CONTINENTAL ASIA WEATHER
BY RAJESH KAPADIA
Effects of M2 were seen in the form of precipitation over West and Central Nepal. Kathmandu received 5.8 mms of rain on Monday,and the 2 days of rain has kept today's day temperature at 27.7c and the nights are still colder at 9.3c.
Pokhra got 2.2 mms of rain.
The system is now as good as over and done with.
A low seems to be on the anvil in the Bay. It could form around the 26th. of March. I personally do not see much effect on the mainland of India. Heavy falls could be expected in the Andaman Islands from Friday.
As of now, I see the system developing into a well marked low by the 27th, to around 1004 mb, and fizzling out over the North Andaman region in a couple of days. Will take a fresh review again.
Strong gusty westerlies, at around 28/30 kmph, are expected to sweep Gujarat region from Tuesday, 22nd. for 2 days. As a result, the days in the Saurashtra and Gujarat regions will be contained within the 37/38c range.
Rajkot, with gusty westerlies will be around 37c on Tuesday thru Thursday.Humidity will be on the higher side early morning, at around 75-80%.
The sharp westerlies will be sweeping the Sindh coast of Southern Pakistan too. Karachi will be windy, again from Tuesday thru Thursday, with westerlies at more than 30 kmph. Due to this, days will be contained at 33c.
A noteworthy feature: The temperatures of the last 30 days, from mid February till mid March have shown a different and interesting anomaly in 2 diversive cities of Maharashtra, and in interior A.P. and Karnataka region, which has experianced cold waves in regular intervals till March.
Mumbai, with its 41s and all time highs, shows a average going above the 1 month normal by 0.72*c, almost a degree. Actually, the lows and below normal nights during this period has brought the average down a bit. One notices the red areas on the diagram towards the heat wave period. READ MORE!
