"Allah is the One who sends the wind with rising clouds. He spreads them across the sky as He sees fit and breaks them apart. You can see the raindrops piercing through the clouds, and when it reaches those whom He has chosen among His servants, they feel joyous."

But if We send a wind, and they see it yellow, they will become nonbelievers after this. (Exposure to the intense sunlight of bright, cloudless summer days can be too much for sensitive plants. Reflected light from walls and other surfaces can also add to the problem. Stunted plant growth and a yellow-white "burn" on the upper surface of older leaves are familiar symptoms of too much intense sunlight. Ref. : Plant Growth)
