Apocalyptic clouds!!!

These clouds may look apocalyptic but it didn't rain a single drop the day they showed up...

Clouds of madden-julian oscillation effect!!!

Captured on 4th October 2009, these are unseasonal monsoon clouds over Gujarat. They are caused by a rare phenomenon called Madden-Julian oscillation effect. A rare formation of clouds presenting a beautiful spectacle of nature. But these clouds have wrecked havoc in southern part of India, rendering millions homeless and scores of them dead. They say its worst monsoon in 100 years. Quite rare indeed!!!
