Monsoon across UP in 2020
Last year, monsoon showers hit Uttar Pradesh districts around 20 June- which was also the predicted date for this year. However, owing to fast-paced monsoon currents and other factors, the rainy season is arriving almost a week earlier here. A full-blown monsoon can be expected to take effect by this Friday or Saturday, i.e., 11 or 12 June.
