► The monsoon brings heavy rains and Meghalaya is known for having some of the wettest
places on Earth. Cherrapunji and Mawsynram, both in Meghalaya, hold world records for the
highest annual rainfall.
Annual rain fall -Cherrapunji, a town in Meghalaya, holds the record for the highest annual rainfall in the world. It receives high rainfall
due to its location on the windward side of the Khasi Hills, where moist air from the Bay of Bengal is lifted and condensed, resulting in heavy
rain. Mawsynram, another town in Meghalaya whcich recives heavy rains , On average, Cherrapunji receives over 11,777 millimeters (463.7
inches) of rainfall annually, while Mawsynram receives around 11,871 millimeters (467.4 inches).
Annual temprature -Meghalaya, being a hilly state in northeastern India, generally experiences a temperate climate with moderate temperatures. In the

Type of rain falls in Meghalaya and with its reason -
Southwest Monsoon:
• Timing: June to September
• Reason: The southwest monsoon, which originates from the Bay of Bengal, brings the major part of rainfall to Meghalaya. The moist air from the Bay of
Bengal is lifted as it faces the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia Hills. This lifting of air leads to condensation and heavy rainfall. The southwest monsoon is responsible
for the most of the annual rain in Meghalaya.
•Northeast Monsoon:
• Timing: October to November
• Reason: After the southwest monsoon, Meghalaya experiences a secondary rainfall period due to the northeast monsoon. During this period, moist air from
the Bay of Bengal moves towards the northeast, causing rain in the region.
•Convectional Rainfall:
• Timing: Summer months (March to June)
• Reason: The hilly terrain of Meghalaya, with its elevated surfaces, leads to convectional rainfall during the summer months. As the sun heats the land, the
air rises, cools, and condenses to form clouds, resulting in rainfall.
•Orographic Rainfall:
• Timing: Throughout the year, but particularly during the monsoon season
• Reason: Meghalaya's hills, such as the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia Hills, act as barriers to the moist winds coming from the Bay of Bengal. As the air is forced to
ascend over these hills, it cools and releases moisture in the form of rainfall. This hills are a significant contributor to the overall rainfall in Meghalaya.
•Frontal or Cyclonic Rainfall:
• Timing: can occur throughout the year
• Reason: When cyclones or tornado approch Meghalaya, they can bring rainfall. These cyclone are more common during the changing periods between
seasons.

•Lush Greenery:
• The constant and rainfall contributes to the lush green landscapes in and around Mawsynram. The region is known for its vegetation, including dense forests, meadows, and a variety of plant life.
•Orographic Effect:
• The Khasi Hills play a crucial role in enhancing the rainfall in Mawsynram. As moist air is forced to go over these hills, it cools and releases moisture, which contributes to additional rainfall.
