Isro Images Show 90% of India Under Cloud Cover

India's landmass was nearly invisible from the skies four days ago, as a cloud sheet stretched from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal, covering close to 95% of the country. The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) captured images of this phenomenon using its weather satellites. Although the peak cloud cover has passed, the sheet has not broken up, and the latest thermal infrared images suggest that the cloud cover is still significant. This phenomenon has significant implications for the country's weather patterns and agricultural production.
