Satellite Images Show Extensive Cloud Bands and Weather Contrast Across India and Neighboring Regions
Satellite images captured in late September reveal a striking weather contrast across India, with dense cloud bands stretching approximately 4,000 km from northern and central India through the Himalayan region into China and Southeast Asia. These high-altitude clouds, linked to an inland-moving depression over Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, are causing heavy rainfall in eastern and central India. The imagery highlights ongoing monsoon withdrawal in northwest India while showing active moisture transport from the Bay of Bengal influencing widespread rainfall in eastern and northeastern regions.
