Why is Shillong rainier than Kolkata?
Share
(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.
