==Economy==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2019}}
The main occupation in the district is agriculture, followed by allied and agro-based activities. The [[Meo (ethnic group)|Meo]]s are the predominant population group and are all agriculturists.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theprint.in/india/how-tablighi-jamaat-was-born-from-mewats-drinking-muslims-who-couldnt-even-read-namaz/403209/|title=How Tablighi Jamaat was born from Mewat’s ‘drinking Muslims who couldn’t even read namaz’}}</ref> Agriculture is mostly rain-fed except in small pockets where canal irrigation is available, and crop yield per hectare is low compared with the rest of the state. Animal husbandry, particularly dairy, is the secondary source of income for the people; those who live closer to the hilly ranges of [[Aravalli Range|Aravali]] also keep sheep and goats. The heavy indebtedness of most of the farmers requires them to sell milk to their lenders at below-market price, which drastically reduces their income.

Towns such as Punhana, Pinangwan, Ferozepur Jhirka, Taoru and Nuh are major hubs of retail shopping and act as backbones of day-to-day life in the area. The district also has a [[MMTC Ltd.|MMTC]]–PAMP factory located in the Rojka–Meo industrial estate.

==Climate==
{{unreferenced section|date=September 2019}}

About 80% of the annual rainfall is received during the [[Monsoon of South Asia|monsoon season]], from June to September with a peak in July. Dryness of air is a standard feature in Mewat district, with high humidity only during the monsoon period. During the monsoon, the sky is heavily clouded, and winds are strong. Winds are generally light during the post-monsoon and winter months. The dry season of minimum humidity (less than 20%) is between April and May, when strong dusty winds are conspicuous.

Nuh district experiences a high incidence of thunderstorms and dust storms, often accompanied by violent squalls (Bengali: ''andhar'' ) from April to June. The thunderstorms may be accompanied by heavy rain and occasionally by hail. In the winter months, fog may appear in the district.

==Transport==
Nuh town is on [[National Highway 248A (India)|National Highway 248A]] (NH 248A) (previously known as the Gurgaon–[[Sohna]]–[[Alwar]] road),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/gurgaon/sohna-road-to-have-a-toll-plaza-after-upgrade/articleshow/65693527.cms|title=Sohna road to have a toll plaza after upgrade}}</ref> connecting the district to Gurugram and Alwar. The Kundli–Manesar–Palwal (KMP) Expressway provides high-speed access to the district from Palwal and Manesar. Major District Roads 131 and 135 connect to the Delhi–Agra Highway. The nearest [[railway station]] is [[Hodal]] which is around {{convert|20|km}} from [[Punahana]] town.
