Wettest Place in IndiaWettest Place in India is Cherrapunji. In fact,
Cherrapunji is the wettest place on the earth. The place receives an
annual rainfall of over 1200 cm. Cherrapunji is situated at 56 kms from
Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, in one of the heaviest rain-belts in
the world. However, off late, a ding-dong battle has been on between
Cherrapunji and the neighbouring village of Mawsynram for the crown of "Wettest
Place in the World". Sometimes, it is Cherrapunji which records
highest annual rainfall in the world and sometimes it is Mawsynram.
However, meteorologists question the genuineness of the data obtained
from Mawsynram. Unlike Cherrapunji, there is no meteorological office at
Mawsynram and the readings there are taken by a peon of the Meghalaya
Public Works Department posted there. |
