A video showing the sky turning red in parts of Chhattisgarh has gone viral on social media amid concerns over Cyclone Arnab. The unusual colour has drawn attention as the cyclone affects weather conditions across parts of India. However, the visual appearance of the sky alone does not establish that the phenomenon was caused by the cyclone. Changes in cloud cover, atmospheric particles and the scattering of sunlight can sometimes create striking red or orange skies. Residents have shared the footage online, prompting questions about the possible link to the storm. Official meteorological confirmation is needed to establish the cause. Reports from Dantewada and Kirandul in Chhattisgarh describe an unusual reddish sky, with videos circulating widely online amid Cyclone Arnab. The possible link to the cyclone remains unconfirmed.
