From Record Rainfall Hits Uttar Pradesh Following Low-Pressure System

How does the inward shift of a low-pressure area affect Uttar Pradesh's seasonal rainfall?

Excessive rain pushes Uttar Pradesh into seasonal rainfall surplus The low-pressure area developed over the Bay of Bengal and shifted inwards towards Uttar Pradesh. This led to excessive moisture feeding into the state’s atmosphere, causing widespread incessant rain. The state received 19 times more rainfall than normal for the month of September in just two days. As a result, Uttar Pradesh moved from a deficit to a surplus, with cumulative per district seasonal rainfall averaging around 2% above normal.
