    "The wettest place on earth" as Cherrapunji is advertised may lose that position soon to Mawsynram, a neighbouring village, if the present trend continues.

    After losing this position to Mawsynram for several years, Cherrapunji was once again declared the world's wettest place when it recorded 12,262 mm of rainfall in 2002 against 11,300 mm recorded at Mawsynram. In the previous four years, it was Mawsynram which had recorded the highest rainfall in the world.

    Meteorologists are not satisfied with the way rainfall data are collected from the two places. In fact, they question the genuineness of the data obtained from Mawsynram.

    Unlike Cherrapunji, there is no meteorological office at Mawsynram. Nor are any trained meteorological observers posted at that God-forsaken place. The readings are taken by a peon of the Meghalaya Public Works Department posted there. In other words, measuring the rainfall is a part-time job for him.

  • No , highest amount of rain in India falls in Meghalaya.Cherra pnnjee is in Assam.
