‘Feels like Venus’: Delhi-NCR residents stunned as sky turns strangely yellow amid rain
Several Delhi-NCR residents shared visuals of the phenomenon on social media, expressing shock at how yellow the sky had turned.
On Wednesday evening, the sky above Delhi-NCR transformed into a strange shade of yellow, prompting residents to compare the sight to Venus. The unusual weather event was accompanied by light rain, as forecasted by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The IMD had issued a yellow alert for isolated rainfall in the capital, while Haryana's Gurugram and Noida and Ghaziabad were under an orange alert.
The yellow alert indicated the potential for rough seas and coastal erosion in coastal areas, with the IMD warning fishermen to stay away from deep-sea activities and beach outings. Meanwhile, across southern India, the IMD issued a swell surge and high-wave warning for the coasts of Kerala, Lakshadweep, south Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, where nearshore surges and coastal erosion were expected.
In Himachal Pradesh, torrential rains had disrupted normal life, with 167 roads, including a national highway, blocked. A yellow alert was issued for several districts, and authorities warned of potential landslides and injuries from lightning strikes.
