Explanation

Mawsynram in Meghalaya holds the Guinness World Record for highest average annual rainfall at approximately 11,872 mm. Cherrapunji (now Sohra), also in Meghalaya, was previously thought to be the wettest but now holds the record for highest rainfall in a calendar year. Both locations receive extreme rainfall due to their geography on the Khasi Hills. Shillong is Meghalaya's capital, and Calicut is in Kerala.
