A massive 10,000-kilometre-long rain cloud stretching from north India across the Himalayas, China and into South Korea has been captured in recent satellite imagery, marking one of the most active phases of the 2026 southwest monsoon. The extensive cloud band, referred to as a monsoon convergence zone, forms due to the interaction of moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean with broader weather systems across Asia. This results in a nearly continuous corridor of clouds and rainfall spanning thousands of kilometers. The event highlights a significant surge in rainfall across India, with the country recording approximately 170-180% of its normal daily monsoon rainfall in the past two days, making it the wettest period of the season so far. Meteorologists have described the phenomenon as a “massive monsoon day,” noting that rainfall has exceeded climatological averages across several regions. The satellite image reveals dense cloud cover over central, northern and eastern India, extending northeast across the Himalayan range into China and Japan. Such elongated cloud formations occur when the monsoon trough remains active, drawing warm, moisture-rich air into a broad zone of rising motion. As this moist air ascends, it cools and condenses into towering rain-bearing clouds, leading to widespread showers and thunderstorms across large parts of Asia. The intensified rainfall follows weeks of uneven monsoon activity that left several states facing rainfall deficits. The latest spell of rain is anticipated to significantly improve seasonal rainfall figures, especially in north and central India. Regions such as Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR and parts of Rajasthan have already received heavy rain, while eastern and northeastern states continue to experience intense precipitation influenced by low-pressure systems originating from the Bay of Bengal. However, the intensity of the monsoon also raises concerns, with authorities warning of potential flash floods, waterlogging, landslides and river swelling, particularly in the Himalayan states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. Despite the presence of a powerful El Niño event, nicknamed "Godzilla El Niño", which typically suppresses monsoon rains, India is experiencing unusually high cloud cover. This anomaly is attributed to the simultaneous influence of cyclonic circulations over the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, both of which are contributing to increased moisture availability. These systems, fueled by local heat and moisture, have created favorable conditions for heavy rainfall even amid the El Niño's general tendency to reduce monsoon activity. The monsoon trough, acting as a conveyor belt for rain, has shifted back to its normal position over the plains, activating the moisture pump from the Bay of Bengal and resulting in heavy rainfall across various regions. On Wednesday, July 22, India faced two distinct monsoon scenarios. While the northern and western parts of the country experienced heavy to very heavy rainfall, southern regions remained relatively dry. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted extreme rainfall in isolated pockets, particularly in Himachal Pradesh, the Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh belt, Punjab, East Rajasthan, and parts of Maharashtra. Conversely, the southern peninsular region saw minimal rainfall, with only isolated showers expected. The disparity in rainfall distribution is linked to the positioning of the monsoon trough and the concentration of cyclonic circulations in the north and west. The upcoming days are expected to bring further intense rainfall, with Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha being under close watch for heavy to very heavy rain. The IMD has forecasted isolated instances of extremely heavy rainfall over these states on July 26, with additional heavy showers anticipated in Chhattisgarh, the Konkan and Goa belt, and other regions. Thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds are also expected in several coastal and island regions. The monsoon's erratic behavior, characterized by active and break phases, reflects broader climatic patterns influenced by factors such as the Indian Ocean Dipole and changing oceanic temperatures.

India TodayNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 95Objektivnost 88pred 9 dneviSatelitski posnetki so razkrili ogromno 7.000 do 10.000 kilometrov dolg deževni pas, ki se razteza od severne Indije preko Himalaje, Kitajske in v Južno Korejo, kar je ena od najbolj aktivnih faz jugozahodnega monsuna leta 2026. Ta obsežen oblačni sistem, znan kot območje konvergence monsuna, je povzročil izjemno visoke padavine v Indiji, pri čemer so nekatera območja v zadnjih dveh dneh zabeležila do 170-180% običajnega dnevnega monsunskega padavina.

India TodayNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 75Objektivnost 70pred 10 dnevi Godzilla El Nino bi moral pomeniti manj monsunskega dežja, zakaj je 95% Indije oblačno?V članku iz dnevnika India Today se razpravlja o nenavadni oblačnosti v 95% Indije, kljub prisotnosti močnega pojava 'Godzilla El Nino' v Tihem oceanu. Običajno dogodki El Nino zmanjšajo monsunski padavine s spreminjanjem vzorcev atmosferske cirkulacije. Vendar pa trenutni pogoji kažejo povečano oblačnost, ki jo znanstveniki pripisujejo lokalnim vremenskim sistemom, ne pa neposrednemu nadzoru El Nino. V članku je pojasnjeno, da čeprav El Nino vpliva na velike atmosferske vzorce, ne more preprečiti nastanka lokalnih ciklonskih cirkulacij, ko obstajajo ugodni pogoji. Ti sistemi, ki jih poganjajo tople oceanske vode, so privedli do oživljanja monsuna, pri čemer se monsunski potok vrne v običajen položaj nad indijskimi ravnicami.
Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): V članku so predstavljene znanstvene razlage in podatki, ne da bi se očitno naklonil nobeni politični ideologiji.
Zakaj dejstva (75): The article discusses the impact of El Niño on monsoon patterns and explains how multiple weather systems are contributing to cloud cover. While these explanations are plausible, they lack direct reference to the primary source document and make generalizations about El Niño's effect without citing
Zakaj objektivnost (70): The article takes a somewhat critical stance toward El Niño's typical effects, suggesting it should 'starve' the monsoon, which introduces a slight editorial perspective. It also implies that current cloud cover contradicts expectations, potentially influencing reader interpretation.

Nasprotno pa bo v južni polotoku Indije, razen obalnega Karnatake in Kerale, zaradi spreminjajočih se monsunskih vzorcev minimalno deževalo. Delhi naj bi imel splošno oblačno nebo z lahkim do zmernim deževanjem in gromomomomom, ki mu bodo sledili močni vetrovi.

India TodayNeodvisenSredinaDejstva 55Objektivnost 70pred 13 dnevi V ponedeljek se vrača monsun, v severni Indiji so možne poplave.Indijski meteorološki oddelek (IMD) je poročal, da se je sezona monsuna ponovno začela z povečano intenzivnostjo, ki še posebej vpliva na severno Indijo. Ponovni vzpon je posledica monsunskega potoka, ki se nahaja bolj severno od običajnega, v kombinaciji z zgornjimi ciklonskimi kroženji zraka, ki črpajo vlago tako iz Arabskega morja kot Bengalskega zaliva. Ta konvergenca vodi do širokega padavin, pri čemer so države, kot so Uttarakhand, Džamu in Kašmir, Himachal Pradesh, Zahodni Bengal, Sikkim in Meghalaya, pod opozorilom.
