awsynram (/ˈmɔːsɪnˌrʌm/) is a village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya state in north-eastern India, 65 kilometres from Shillong. Mawsynram receives one of the highest rainfalls in India. It is reportedly the wettest place on Earth, with an average annual rainfall of 11,872 millimetres (467.4 in),[1][2][3][4] but that claim is disputed by Lloró, Colombia, which reported an average yearly rainfall of 12,717 millimetres (500.7 in) between 1952 and 1989[5][6] and López de Micay, also in Colombia, which reported 12,892 mm (507.6 in) per year between 1960 and 2012.[7][8] According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Mawsynram received 26,000 millimetres (1,000 in) of rainfall in 1985.Jaisalmer receives less than 12 km of rain because of its distance from Bay of Bengal, monsoon winds and its location in the sub - tropical high pressure belt.
The hot moistened winds of the northward-moving air from the Bay of Bengal throughout the monsoon, which incorporate a large area but are bound to gather into the restricted zone over the Khasi Hills, thus strengthening their moisture.
Mawsynmar is the wettest region of the world with an ordinary yearly rainfall of 1140cms. It is positioned in the southerly hills of Khasi Hills (Meghalaya) at a height of 1500 meter above the sea level. This area is surrounded by hills on three sides.
Jaisalmer Climate is determined by its location amidst the Great Indian Desert. The area encounters a dry climate during the year. The temperature persists to be low throughout the winter season while summertime is identified by the cool and subtle Jaisalmer climate. The region is dwindled by very inadequate rainfall during the monsoon period.
