So which is the rainiest place in the world? Cherrapunji in the State of Meghalaya has for long been regarded the rainiest place in the world. Its annual mean rainfall based on the 30 years data (1931-60) is 1156.5 cm while that based on longer-term data (1851-1960) is 1131.4 cm. Later it was claimed that Waileale in the island of Kauai in Hawaii (USA) could be the rainiest place with an annual mean rainfall of 1168.4cm based on 32 years data (1931-62). Soon after it was noted that the annual mean rainfall at Mawsynram (Meghalaya) was 1187.3cm based on 39 years data (1941-1979). Of course, there are not long term data for either Waialeale or Mawsynram for a period comparable to those available for Cherrapunji.
It appears that based on data of recent few decades, Mawsynram located only about 16 km west of Cherrapunji in the State of Meghalaya in India is the rainiest place in the world. Mawsynram also holds the record for highest rainfall in 24 hours in India which is 98.96 cm recorded during the 24 Nov, period ending at 0830 IST on 10 July, 1952. This is almost half of the world record of 182.5 cm held by FoeFoe in la Reunion in the South Indian Ocean as indicated in the list at the beginning of this Note.

If bushes are sparkling-decrease over super areas, subsequently, rains gradual or give up downwind, describing the placement modern now over quite some the U.S. Southwest. Deforestation, scaling down of bushes for human functions, impacts the quantity of water interior the soil and groundwater and the moisture interior the ambience. bushes are an significant part of the organic panorama simply by their prevention of abrasion and the supply of a particular climate-sheltered atmosphere in and under their foliage. bushes, via the technique of photosynthesis, play an significant place in generating oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide interior the ambience; in addition they average floor temperatures via their shading effect. No bushes, no rain and no rain, no bushes
