Satellite imagery has revealed a continuous cloud corridor over 5,000 kilometres long, stretching from Pakistan across northern and central India to China. This 'monsoon rain highway' consists of multiple thunderstorm systems merging into an elongated band associated with the monsoon circulation. The cloud belt features deep convection with towering clouds capable of intense rainfall and thunderstorms. This formation highlights the active monsoon phase affecting widespread regions in South Asia, as forecasted by meteorological authorities.
