Cherrapunjee Faces Driest Monsoon in Decades; Rainfall Deficit at 45%

Imagine a place that used to get a lot of rain, like Cherrapunjee, which was once the wettest place on Earth.

This year, however, it's barely raining there.

The amount of rain is much lower than usual, about 45% less.

So far, they have received much less rainfall than the average.

This year's rainfall is less than it has been in the past.

It’s unlikely to get enough rain in the remaining time to reach the previous lowest recorded rainfall mark.

Experts believe the changing climate is causing this, and the area is getting less and less rain.
