Darkness which had a yellow tinge lasted for over three hours and was followed by drop in air temperature.
The territory impacted by the gloom was larger than Italy.

As predicted, now that crop losses and canned food shortages have entered public consciousness, the new UN IPCC's report (and media propaganda) dictates that Global Warming is decimating food production, and food scarcity looms. This is to mask the natural cycles and Grand Solar Minimum, in order to take total control of the food supply and, transitively, humanity.
Alberta, Canada is feeling the Galactic Cosmic Rays in this Solar Minimum. After late frosts last year, producers were hoping for a better season this year -- instead, massive rains destroyed crops, prompting declaration of an emergency. THEN, a hailstorm in South Alberta destroyed vast majority of Taber corn from the Corn Capital of Alberta. Start growing your own food today.
Climate alarmists are always terrified by something, primarily because they don't understand anything about science. Or mathematics. In this video I discuss the mindless hysteria surrounding glacial calving.
A stunning video from the Indian state of Karnataka shows an adult crocodile lying on the rooftop of a house submerged under water. The reptile found itself beached on the tiles after the flood receded.
Residents of the Belgaum district in Karnataka, one of the regions hardest hit by the devastating flash floods brought by a monsoon, were shocked to see a 10-foot-long crocodile resting on the roof of a farmhouse on Sunday.
It is believed that the terrifying creature ended up on the roof after swimming about a kilometer from the Krishna River, which overflowed and flooded the area. As the water receded, the crocodile got stuck on the asbestos tiles and risked being trapped.
Comment: CCTV reports that the death toll has risen to 49, with another 21 people reported missing.
