The India's highest annual rainfall is reported at

  • A.Namchi, Sikkim
  • B.Churu, Rajasthan
  • C.Mawsynram, Meghalaya
  • D.Chamba, Himachal Pradesh

Answer: C

India's highest annual rainfall is at Mawsynram in Meghalaya.

It receives about 11,870 mm a year. Moist air from the Bay of Bengal is funnelled up the Khasi hills and forced to rise abruptly, and the funnel shape of the valley concentrates the effect. Nearby Cherrapunji holds the records for rainfall in a single month and year.
