Satellite captures 2,500-km-wide cloud band on its way to India
A massive cloud band stretching across large parts of north and central India can be seen in thermal infrared imagery captured by INSAT-3DS weather satellite.
Meteorologists said it appears to be associated with a combination of western disturbance interacting with moisture incursion from Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. It could be stretching well over 2,000-2,500 km across northern India.
