As regards India, the
southwest monsoon is the heavy rain season lasting from June through September.
Rainfall is measured on a daily basis at about 6000 stations and measurements
at many stations are available for over 100 years. As of 1962, the available
mean annual rainfall records (IMD, 1962) for several stations in India indicate
that there are only 14 stations which receive mean annual rainfall in excess of
500 cm. Of these, 10 stations are located in the Western Ghats and the other
four in northeast India. The maximum mean annual rainfall recorded in India is
1141 cm at Mawsynaram in Khasi Jaintia hills. Cherrapunji and Mawsynram in
Khasi Jaintia hills are world's highest rainfall areas. Agumbe in the Western Ghats
has an annual maximum rainfall of in South India.
Apart
from the 14 stations which receive 5000 mm rainfall,
i have done research which took me nearly 3-4 weeks to obtain
authenticated
data from various sources to see whether other places that receive 5000
mm apart
from IMD’s 14 places and in the process have
uploaded the state wise rainfall record holders. This report will be
updated often and popped up as soon as i get more data from public.
