Residents of Delhi-NCR witnessed strangely yellow skies on Wednesday evening, with some comparing the unusual sight to Venus as light rain lashed the city.
Sharing a picture in which the sky appears to be slightly orange in colour, a user wrote, “this picture does not do justice to how yellow the weather suddenly became. The weather department had forecast light rain accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning at isolated places across Delhi. The rain offered a brief respite from humid conditions as India Meteorological Department issued a ‘yellow’ alert for isolated rainfall in the national capital. Weather conditions remained severe across parts of southern India, with IMD issuing a swell surge and high-wave warning for the coasts of Kerala, Lakshadweep, south Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
The IMD has issued a red alert for the Kerala coast, with isolated heavy rainfall expected in Kottayam, Ernakulam and Idukki on Wednesday. Other districts, including Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode and Wayanad, are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall, according to the latest district-wise forecast issued on Wednesday.
