Its been unprecedented November here in Bengaluru. Surprise Thunderstorms due to instability in Arabian Sea driving clouds crazy. Its good news for rain deficient city which majorly relies on ground water. Due to poor monsoon in catchment areas, the river water share of Bengaluru is as well bleak. Hence only rain gods can help us from now onwards.
Yesterday we witnessed one of powerful rains of year lasting for 2-3hrs with high intensity. Perhaps, this spell would have added plenty of groundwater to city's surface if there were plans for rain water harvesting. Hopefully few lakes would have bloomed back with the consistent spell. Unfortunately most of the lakes underpinning the water needs of city are encroached by real estate mafia and city has little left.
Meanwhile, elated by powerful overnight deluge, today morning nature swagged up with deluge of colors. It was fabulous to behold this scene as always. The orange sheen spread throughout the tall buildings at the horizon with clean air was heart-warming to capture. Good thing was no edit needed to portray the beauty of clean nature.
There was surprise 180 degree rainbow with adjacent faint rainbow to make the morning more memorable.
A glimpse of thunderstorm to end!
...storms can result in beautiful skies and you enjoyed some wonderful ones!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that this can be a positive for water deficient places. We are hoping for another wet winter here in California.
