10,000 KM long huge cloud spread from India to Korea, alert of heavy rain issued in these countries

New Delhi:An unprecedented and huge weather system has been seen in the atmosphere of Asia. The latest satellite images have shown a huge band of clouds 7,000 to 10,000 kilometers long extending from North India, the Himalayan belt and China to South Korea. Meteorologists have described this as the most extreme and active phase of the current south-west monsoon season. When moisture-laden winds rising from the Indian Ocean met Central and East Asian weather systems, an unbroken corridor of rain was formed over the continent.

180% more rainfall than normal in two days

There has been 180% more rainfall than normal in two days. The direct effect of this monsoon cycle is visible in the form of widespread rainfall in the plains and mountainous areas of India. During the last 48 hours, 170 to 180 percent of the average daily rainfall has been recorded in the country, which is the highest figure of this entire season. Meteorologists have termed this situation as the biggest massive monsoon day of this year. In the pictures taken from satellite, a thick layer of dense monsoon clouds has covered the central, northern and eastern parts of the country. Due to the low pressure area remaining at one place for a long time, the moisture filled winds rose rapidly and turned into dense clouds and are raining over the entire area.

Sanjeevani for agriculture

According to the Meteorological Department, this active phase will continue throughout this week. Due to this, the water level in the major dams and reservoirs of the country will increase rapidly, which will greatly benefit the sowing and growth of Kharif crops. This incident proves that the Indian monsoon is not just a regional seasonal variation, but a larger cycle affecting the environment of the entire Asian continent.

Landslide warning in the mountains

A warning of landslides has been issued in the mountains. This seasonal phase has brought great relief for the states which were facing lack of rain in the initial weeks. Water is falling continuously in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Rajasthan. At the same time, due to the low pressure area arising from the Bay of Bengal, there are heavy showers in the eastern and north-eastern states. This heavy rain has also increased the concern in the hilly areas. The danger of overflowing rivers and land subsidence has increased in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. An alert has been issued regarding waterlogging and flash floods in cities in low-lying areas.
