Ludhiana sits in the fertile Punjab plains, where the July-to-September southwest monsoon supports the region’s intensive wheat and rice agriculture alongside a smaller amount of winter rainfall from western disturbances between December and February. Because the local economy is so closely tied to monsoon timing, radar tracking of approaching rain bands is widely used to plan both urban activity and surrounding farm operations.
