Viral 10 AM Dark Sky Video Sparks Panic: Thunderstorm Turns Day Into Night

A big weather change caused the world to waken with people on social media that the video itself, as shown on social media videos, shocked viewers in a super dark sky at 10 a.m. in the morning, leaving people wondering, “Is the world end”? Increasingly those more and more bizarre images depict what might be seen during midday or late at night.

The video was reportedly taken in some parts of India and shows black clouds enveloping the sky at what should have been bright daylight hours according to a report from the government. Streetlights appear to be on; cars move slowly to the city where the sky’s not clear and the whole place seems dark,” according to the video. Investigators say this is attributed to a very robust thunderstorm and to dense cloud cover.

Those kinds of conditions are no longer rare but no longer unusual, says meteorologists. Thunderstorms can be called “day turning into night”, especially for rain clouds, dust and wet earth covering the sun. These storms have strong winds, lightning, and even hailstorms.

All weather experts say this is most likely due to cumulonimbus cloud formation, for a combination of cumulonimbus clouds, local low temperatures, and localized atmospheric instability producing a particular result from a combination of cumulonimbus clouds. If these gigantic storm clouds form so close together they greatly weaken daylight penetration during the morning, leaving behind a sky appearing more night, especially in the late morning hours and even after some extreme rainfall to early evening hours (see example in the upper clouds from several years ago).

The video is apocalyptic but authorities urge people not to panic. They urge not to go out, stay indoors during the storm, avoid travel through them, protect the trees down the road and be careful about driving during a storm.

Social media users have reacted strongly to the viral video. Some called the weather incident “straight out of a movie” and even scared of being hit by the storm, some people were too, while many of them were worried about being struck by the storm; some said they felt like this was “the end of our time is coming to tell us what is at the end. It’s hard not to make jokes on social media about how"everything will be the next thing in the storm the world will end” now with more “everything” happening at the moment.

Though the impact of this visual impact can be overwhelming, experts say rather than getting ahead of themselves we need to read the weather patterns. In situations where sudden weather changes are needed quickly due to sudden weather, such as in the transitional seasons, or a change in seasons of transition, strange things can happen at the last minute but, at least for those who are looking to take a brief time.

More and more when mobile and social media are so popular, such situations are more and more prevalent, and they are easily shared on social media. Events that had previously been unnoticed now get a lot of attention and go viral within minutes because even people have taken pictures with phones.

We need the people to monitor the weather and respond to authorities’ requirements and weather advisories and should consult with the environment for advice (in line with governments’ conditions). Emergency services are on alert with all storm events taken when they occur now, with them ready to respond.”

A viral video has certainly drawn attention but a video has also served as warning to people on the wild and has served to strike a chord that they have to be prepared and be more intelligent to operate wisely when the wild gets involved.
