In August 2024, Gurgaon experienced its wettest month in over a decade, recording nearly 340mm of rainfall—
an 84% surplus compared to the usual 185.1mm. This sharp increase contrasts with previous years of
significant deficits, such as 2023 and 2022, which saw 62% and 65% less rainfall, respectively. Meteorologists
attribute this year’s heavy rainfall to an active monsoon system, primarily driven by the Arabian Sea’s influence.
Gurgaon recorded the third-highest rainfall in Haryana, behind Nuh at 386.8mm (108% surplus) and Chandigarh
at 351.6mm (23% surplus). This year’s surplus highlights the variability of weather patterns in the region,
significantly influenced by complex monsoon dynamics.
