The SendingStone review

Meteor Swarm is a ninth-level spell available to sorcerers and wizards that deals 20d6 fire damage over a range of one mile. While its high damage potential is impressive, some argue that its casting time and limited range make it less useful in combat situations where enemies may be at a distance. Additionally, the fact that it requires a ninth-level spell slot means that it may not be practical for lower-level characters. However, when used creatively, Meteor Swarm can be devastating against large groups of enemies or fortified positions, making it a valuable tool in a wizard's arsenal. Ultimately, the effectiveness of the spell depends on the situation and the creativity of the caster.
