    Rajesh,

    Amboli (annual rainfall of around 750cm) is among 14 places which gets over 500 cm. its data is not published by IMD on daily basis.

    Like wise Neeriamangalam, Pullingoth, Mawsynram, Makut & Denning data's are not published.

    for all others i maintain a database.

    Dear Pradeep John,
    I feel elelated to note that you are maintaining a record of heavy rainfall places in India.
    Congrads.
    I am to refer you some of other places which also record more than 400 cm rainfall. A few among them is [1] Balamore [2] Upper Kothiyar both in Kanyakumari district [3]Kuthiraivetti & Poolankudiyeruppu (>300 cm) in Tirunelveli district
    [4] Agamalai in Theni district etc.
    Further, please ascertain that the raingauge stations are having the right raingauge [FRP type / 200sq.cm collector area or SIMON type 127 sq.cm collector area] and having relevent [20mm /25mm] measure glass respectively.
    If they have one type of raingauge and measure rainfall with other irrelevant measure glass then the measurement is faulty. Moreover the time of observation is also important. It is 0830 hrs IST ending of date and should be entered in to date's account.
    Then only comparision is reliable.
    I will write seperately about the descrepencies noted in heavy rainfall zones later.
