Mawsynram, situated in the northeastern state of Meghalaya, India, holds the record for the highest annual rainfall in the country. This village experiences an average annual rainfall of approximately 467 inches (11,871 mm), thanks to its geographical location on the windward side of the Khasi Hills, where moist air from the Bay of Bengal is lifted and condensed. The heavy monsoon rains contribute to Mawsynram’s lush, green landscapes and unique climate. The region’s extreme precipitation levels make it one of the wettest places globally, drawing attention from meteorologists and tourists alike for its dramatic weather patterns and vibrant natural environment.
