Chennai - Today also a mild drizzled passed thru Pallavaram zone at around 7pm

Kollur crosses 4000 mm rainfall in style & Cherrapunji falls further down the list.

The race to be the wettest place in India is something new because Its always been Cherrapunji always as Mawsynarm, Hulikal and Amboli are not readily available.

Rainfall in mm (01.06.2011 to 18.07.2011 - 48 days)

1. Kollur, Karnataka - 4111
2. Gaganbawada, Maharashtra - 3320
3. Agumbe, Karnataka - 3258
4. Sangameshwar, Maharashtra - 3007
5. Kadra, Karnataka - 2885
6. Cherrapunji, Meghalaya - 2828
7. Quepem, Goa - 2765

Quepem rainfall data not available for one day when Goa got battered 17.07.2011. I think it would have also crossed Cherrapunji's tally.


The break up of Kollur Rainfall are as follows -

1. 1000 mm - 15 days
2. 2000 mm - 28 days (13 days for the 1000 mm)
3. 3000 mm - 36 days (6 days for the 1000 mm)
4. 4000 mm - 48 days (12 days for the 1000 mm)
5. 5000 mm - ???? (I predict it will be less than 12 days)
