The Southwest monsoon is very essential, accounting for 74. Per cent of the country's annual rainfall. The Southwest winds blowing from the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea in The Southwest bring heavy rainfall to the region.

winds dominated up to seven kilometres at Dhaka. Near-surface wind below one kilometre had southerly components, and the wind profile had an Ekman spi- ral structure. “The results suggest that rainfall at Cherrapunjee strongly depends on the near-surface wind speed and wind direc- tion at Dhaka. Lifting of the near-surface southerly airflow by the Meghalaya Pla- teau is considered to be the main contrib- utor to severe rainfall at Cherrapunjee. High convective available potential en- ergy (CAPE) also contributes to intense rainfall,” Dr Hayashi stated in his paper. The rainfall chart created by the Cher- rapunjee Holiday Resort (Table shown on left) shows how the rainfall pattern chang- es in a cyclic way. There are cyclic low rainfall years at Cherrapunjee. The lowest in the above-mentioned years was in 1962 at 6,807.0 mm.
