Why This Matters

The combination of high rainfall and inadequate water management often leads to property damage and public health risks in semi-urban areas like Meerut.
According to meteorologist Dr. UP Shahi, the current weather pattern is expected to persist for the next 24 hours, with continued cloud cover and intermittent rain.
The meteorological data reveals a significant trend: Meerut has received 74% more rainfall than the seasonal average since June 1st. This surge in monsoon activity has kept the maximum temperature around 28 degrees Celsius, a noticeable drop from the previous high of 31 degrees Celsius.
