Uttar Pradesh Records Highest Monsoon Rainfall in Over a Decade Amid Uneven Distribution
Uttar Pradesh recorded above-normal monsoon rainfall this season, with totals reaching around 800 mm, the highest in over a decade. Despite a statewide surplus of about 8%, rainfall distribution was uneven, leaving 19 districts with deficient or scanty rain. Excessive rainfall in some areas caused waterlogging and crop damage, while deficient districts face moisture shortages, potentially affecting Kharif crop yields and upcoming Rabi sowing. September was notably wet, nearly doubling last year's rainfall, contributing to the overall surplus.
