      (i) The Bay of Bengal branch of S.W. monsoons approaches Shillong about
      a week before it touches Kolkata. So, the early star-t of monsoons gives
      Shillong more rains.
      (ii) Shillong is also located on the 1500-metre high Meghalaya plateau.
      A sub-branch of the Bay of Bengal branch strikes it directly. Here the
      Garo, Khasi Hills capture the clouds like a funnel and cause heavy rains,
      i.e. more than Kolkata.
