Chhattisgarh Skies Turn Red Amid Cyclone Arnab; Cause Remains Unconfirmed
Videos showing blood-red skies over parts of Chhattisgarh, including Dantewada and Kirandul, have gone viral amid Cyclone Arnab's remnants moving inland. Experts suggest the unusual red hue may result from strong cyclone winds lifting dust, sand, or iron-rich soil into the atmosphere, affecting sunlight scattering. While similar phenomena have been observed elsewhere during cyclones, no independent confirmation directly links Cyclone Arnab to the red skies. The region is also experiencing unsettled weather with thunderstorms and heavy rainfall warnings.
