Allahabad, also known as Prayagraj, sits at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in Uttar Pradesh, making it especially sensitive to monsoon rainfall across two major river basins at once between July and September. The low-lying land near the confluence itself is particularly prone to flooding when both rivers rise together, and radar tracking of rainfall across the wider basin upstream is a key part of how flood risk gets assessed here.
