Question

Cherrapunji and Mawsynram receive more than 11000 mm of rainfall. Shillong located very near to these places receives only 1000mm of rainfall. What could be the reason?​

Answer 1

Shillong receives less rainfall in comparison to Mawsynram and Cherrapunji because it lies on the leeward side and is located in the rain shadow region. ... This is because the city is situated on the leeward side of the hills of Khasi and is present in a unique zone known as the rain-shadow zone.
