Ethiopia Volcano Eruption Live Updates: Ash Cloud to Clear from India by Evening, Says India Meteorological Department
Here’s what happened:
The eruption hit on November 23, 2025, over in Ethiopia’s Afar region.
Ash and sulfur dioxide blew into Indian airspace, affecting Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi-NCR, and other parts of the north.
Airlines like Air India and Akasa Air canceled flights to stay safe after warnings from regulators
Once the cloud leaves India, IMD expects it’ll drift east toward China.
Why this matters:
If you’re traveling in India—especially in the north or west—keep a close eye on your flight status and any weather alerts. The ash cloud is way up high, so it won’t mess with most people’s day-to-day life on the ground, but it does affect flight paths and might lower visibility. Airports and ground crews are probably double-checking runways and planes for ash, just to be sure.
What to do:
Flying soon, either within India or abroad? Check your flight status again before heading out.
Watch for updates from IMD for any weather changes in your area.
If you’re in Delhi-NCR or northern India, you might notice hazier skies or lower visibility until the ash moves on.
If you know someone traveling or sensitive to air quality changes, give them a heads-up.
