Why does cherrapunji and mawsynram receives heavy amount of rainfall?

Cherrapunji and Mawsynram receive heavy rainfall due to their location in the path of moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal, which are forced to rise up the Khasi Hills. As the air rises, it cools and releases its moisture as rain, resulting in the high rainfall amounts in these areas. Additionally, the topography of the region enhances the amount of rainfall received.

Why is the cherrapunji the wettest place on earth?

. On an average this place receives 366 inches of rain every year. The reason for this typical rainfall is the monsoons (seasonal winds). The town Mawsynram which is 16 kilometres from Cherrapunji also receives lot of rainfall making it a competition between these two places. It is believed that it rains mostly in the night, thereby creating no disruption to normal day life. It does not rain or rains very little during winter, making it dry because the springs also dry up. Cherrapunji has started to dry up recently with less rain and Mawsynram is becoming the wettest place. Trucks can be seen carrying water to Cherrapunji during the winter season.
