Meteorologists warn that a massive monsoon cloud stretching 10,000 km across India could bring widespread rainfall and alter weather patterns in the coming days.
A colossal monsoon cloud, extending roughly 10,000 kilometres across the Indian subcontinent, has been identified by meteorological agencies as a potential game‑changer for the region's weather this week.
The cloud, part of the seasonal monsoon system, is expected to bring heavy rainfall to large swaths of the country, potentially affecting agriculture, transport, and daily life.
Forecast models suggest that the belt could shift southward, bringing intense showers to the western and central states, while the eastern regions may experience a more gradual onset of rain.
Officials are monitoring the development closely and advising farmers and commuters to prepare for sudden weather changes.
