Answer:

Cheerapunji receives a greater amount of rainfall than Shillong because it lies on the windward side of the Garo-Khasi-jaintia Hills of North-Eastern India. Shillong,on the other hand lies on the leeward side of these ranges. Cherrapunji receives rainfall from both the Arabian Sea Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch of the South-West Monsoon winds.
