CHERRAPUNJI

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 84 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHERRAPUNJI , a
village
  in the Khasi hills
district
  of
Assam
 . It is notable as having the heaviest known rainfall in the world. In 1861 it registered a
total
  of 905 in., and its annual
average
  is 458 in. This excessive rainfall is caused by the fact that Cherrapunji stands on the edge of the
plateau
  overlooking the plains of
Bengal
 , where it catches the full force of the monsoon as it rises from the sea. There is a good coal-seam in the vicinity.
