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.
