After 30 days into monsoon, Cherrapunji in Meghlaya has run away from the pack. (SWM 2011 comparative figures till June 30). There are only 35 stations which crossed 1000 mm mark for June 2012, compared to 53 stations in 2011.


Maharashtra has 8 stations in the list in June 2012 compared to 25 stations in June 2011. Meanwhile, West Bengal which had 0 stations in 2011 has 7 stations in the list in June 2012. The surprise package is however Goa, almost all stations managed to cross 1000 mm rainfall. Karnataka which had 18 stations in 2011 has only 9 stations in 2012.  Kerala has only one entrant in Vadakara, last year it had 7 stations. The dry phase of MJO is coming to an end so watch out for the toppers during next list. I would keep an eye on Chinna Kallar in Tamil Nadu. It had a quite June and yet managed to get 800 mm. July is its wettest month.

All India SWM Toppers from 01.06.2012 to 24.06.2012

The dry phase of MJO is spoiling the HRF figures. It is surprise that after 24 days into June, only one station from Peninsular India managed to cross 1000 mm. Just compare with 2011 figures for similar period. SWM 2011 comparitive figures. Meanwhile, the North Eastern HRF stations continue to impress. They failed miserably in 2011, but 2012 till June is definitely theirs. The MJO wet phase begins at end of first week of July, hopefully the peninsular HRF stations rock to their potential.

Places which gets 5000 mm rainfall in a year & Wettest place in each state of India

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.

Final Verdict: All India SWM winner is Amagaon with 8965 mm rainfall in 4 months

After 120 days of South West Monsoon, we finally have a winner and it is Amagaon from Karnataka. The legend Cherrapunji managed to cross 6000 mm mark. Amagaon & Hulikal were clear winners in 2011 SWM season.

I will still continue to rank the toppers in North East Monsoon too. From Tamil Nadu, Chinna Kallar made the list with 4800 mm rainfall. Watch out for this place in NEM. It gets rains in NEM too.
