The highest monsoon rains in Southern Asia are typically found in the northeastern Indian state of Meghalaya, particularly in the town of Mawsynram, which holds the record for the highest annual rainfall in the world. This region receives an average of about 467.4 inches (around 12,000 mm) of rainfall annually, primarily due to the heavy influence of the southwest monsoon winds. Other areas with significant monsoon rainfall include Cherrapunji, also in Meghalaya, and parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
In India, due to the influence of the retreating monsoon, rainfall occurs mainly in the southern parts of the country. This occurs from September to November as the monsoon winds reverse their direction and move away from the Indian subcontinent. The retreating monsoon brings rainfall to regions like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh.
In August, it is typically summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The specific season will depend on the location.
