The village of Mawsynram in India is the wettest place in the world, recording more than 11,880 mm of rain per year, 11 times that of Glasgow and 22 times that of London, which is also famous for its wetness due to its heavy rain.

Located near the Bay of Bengal and Bangladesh, Mawsynram's geographical location has brought long monsoons, according to India Times.

In addition, the Himalayas block clouds from escaping, contributing to heavy rains. According to India Times.

The rains in Mawsynram often last for several days, sometimes even a week. To cope, the people here have created a unique rain gear, also known as Knups, which is woven from bamboo strips shaped like a turtle shell. According to India Times.

The record rainfall in Mawsynram was 1,003 mm in June 2022, twice the amount of rain London receives in a year, according to India Times.

The amount of rain in a year in Mawsynram could flood the 30-meter-high Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro knee-deep, according to India Times.

Most of the essentials are imported because of too much rain, making farming impossible. According to India Times.

Goods delivered to Mawsynram must be carefully wrapped or dried to avoid damage from rainwater, according to India Times.

Life in Meghalaya Village is still quite backward, they still have markets in the rain. These markets are the main source of food for the people here. According to India Times.

Even though it rains almost all year round, life goes on for them. According to India Times.
