How about a trip to Meghalaya, India
A Brief Summary
If you like rain, and that means REALLY like rain, then the towns of Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in the Indian state of Meghalaya, cannot be missed in July. The Indian monsoon is seen here like nowhere else, with rainfall totals every single DAY equivalent to an average 6 WEEKS in London! These hill towns are well prepared for the torrents of water befalling this area, but there is no escaping the fact a visit here in July will need stoicism, a very good umbrella, and a real fondness for all things “rainy”!!
Location
About the Weather
Quite simply one of, if not the, wettest region on earth. Late Nov to early Feb here sees mild and dry weather with moderate levels of sunshine and high humidity, but this changes rapidly in late Feb. From late Feb through until Oct this region of India sees rainfall levels like virtually nowhere else on earth, with non-stop deluges that last for days and bring biblical quatities of rain. More rain can fall here in a few days than falls in London or Paris in an entire year. Humidity levels during this time are almost always nearly 100% and sunshine levels unsurprisingly extremely low. Immaterially, temperatures average 22°c.
