<h2>What is a shelf cloud formation?</h2>

The meteorological phenomenon known as ‘shelf cloud’, as the name suggests is a formation of large shelf-like clouds which, according to an Australian weather app, Weatherzone, form either at the forefront of a thunderstorm or along the boundary of a cold front.&nbsp;

Shelf clouds typically appear as a broad arc across the sky and are characterised by a swirling mass of clouds. Additionally, while the edge of the cloud is typically well-defined it can also sometimes appear to be rotating horizontally.

<h2>What does this cloud formation indicate?</h2>

Despite their rather intimidating appearance, shelf clouds are not an indication of tornadoes or severe storms but are rather produced by thunderstorms and preceded by a rush of dry and cold air ahead of the cloud.&nbsp;

The cloud formation is also said to be an indication of important weather changes, especially during the thunderstorms’ approach and in some cases also brings heavy rain, lightning and large hail.&nbsp;

Therefore, while you can admire the appearance of the cloud formation from afar, it is best to seek shelter before it gets too close.&nbsp;

<h2>How are shelf clouds formed?</h2>

Shelf clouds form when cold and dense air is pushed by the wind into a warmer air mass. The rush of cold air often occurs in a thunderstorm’s downdraught, when the cold air rushes towards the ground and spreads out to create a gust front, as per Weatherzone.&nbsp;

This also comes as North Indian states are grappling with heavy rains over the last couple of days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD), on Tuesday also issued a ‘red alert’ for Uttarakhand and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh as parts of the two states may witness heavy to very heavy rainfall.&nbsp;

A viral video making rounds on social media shows a stunning yet terrifying cloud formation which is commonly known as a ‘shelf cloud’ or ‘Arcus cloud’. The video is said to have been taken amid the monsoon season in the Indian state of Uttarakhand’s Haridwar and has created quite a buzz on social media which has left many in awe, while some others were asking, “Is the world ending?” The less than 30-second footage has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on Twitter and over 2,000 likes since it was posted on Monday (July 10). The video was posted by a user who claimed that his friend shared the video. Watch the terrifying yet stunning video here: WION cannot verify the authenticity of the video. Shared by a friend. Shot today near Haridwar. Spectacular shelf cloud. #Manali #Storm #Rain #thunderstorm #shelfcloud pic.twitter.com/he9KXg9qse — Anindya Singh (@Anindya_veyron) July 9, 2023 × What is a shelf cloud formation? The meteorological phenomenon known as ‘shelf cloud’, as the name suggests is a formation of large shelf-like clouds which, according to an Australian weather app, Weatherzone, form either at the forefront of a thunderstorm or along the boundary of a cold front. Shelf clouds typically appear as a broad arc across the sky and are characterised by a swirling mass of clouds. Additionally, while the edge of the cloud is typically well-defined it can also sometimes appear to be rotating horizontally. What does this cloud formation indicate? Despite their rather intimidating appearance, shelf clouds are not an indication of tornadoes or severe storms but are rather produced by thunderstorms and preceded by a rush of dry and cold air ahead of the cloud. The cloud formation is also said to be an indication of important weather changes, especially during the thunderstorms’ approach and in some cases also brings heavy rain, lightning and large hail. Therefore, while you can admire the appearance of the cloud formation from afar, it is best to seek shelter before it gets too close. How are shelf clouds formed? Shelf clouds form when cold and dense air is pushed by the wind into a warmer air mass. The rush of cold air often occurs in a thunderstorm’s downdraught, when the cold air rushes towards the ground and spreads out to create a gust front, as per Weatherzone. This also comes as North Indian states are grappling with heavy rains over the last couple of days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD), on Tuesday also issued a ‘red alert’ for Uttarakhand and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh as parts of the two states may witness heavy to very heavy rainfall.

India Weather Update: IMD predicts light rainfall today in Delhi, issues red alert in Kerala

India's monsoon onset over the southernmost Kerala coast is delayed by another two-three days because the formation of cyclonic circulation in the Arabian Sea has reduced cloud cover over the Kerala coast, weather officials said on Monday.

The monsoon, the lifeblood of the country's $3 trillion economy, delivers nearly 70 per cent&nbsp;of the rain India needs to water farms and recharge reservoirs and aquifers.

The state-run India Meteorological Department (IMD) was expecting the arrival of monsoon rains over the Kerala coast on June 4, the latest arrival in four years.

"The development of cyclonic circulation over the southeast Arabian Sea has been pulling moisture out of Kerala coast," said a senior IMD official, who declined to be named as he is not authorised to talk to media.

The monsoon could arrive in the next two-three days, the official said, offering relief to farmers keenly waiting for the start of the wet season which is crucial for summer crops.

Nearly half of India's farmland, without any irrigation cover, depends on the annual June-September rains to grow several crops.

The monsoon's late start could delay the planting of rice, cotton, corn, soybean and sugar cane.

The monsoon should pick up momentum and cover the entire country on time, said another official who declined to be named.

"Let's hope it will move quickly once it sets over Kerala," he said.

India's weather office has forecast below-average rains for June, with the monsoon expected to pick up in July, August and September.

However, for the entire four-month season, the IMD has forecast an average amount of rain despite the formation of a possible El Nino weather phenomenon.

A strong El Nino, marked by a warming of the sea surface on the Pacific Ocean, can cause severe drought in Southeast Asia, India and Australia while drenching other parts of the world such as the US&nbsp;Midwest and Brazil with rain.

The emergence of a strong El Nino triggered back-to-back droughts in 2014 and 2015 for only the fourth time in over a century, driving some Indian farmers into extreme poverty.
