Kanpur lies directly on the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, and its monsoon season, running roughly June through September, is closely tied to the river’s water levels as much as to local rainfall. Heavy upstream rain across the wider Ganges basin can raise river levels in the city even when local skies are relatively calm, making basin-wide radar coverage as useful as watching the clouds directly overhead.
