Abstract

This paper contains the analysis of the hourly values of rainfall at Cherrapunji for the years 1946-1949. By comparison, it is shown that the early morning periods 0100 to 0700 IST are more rainy in comparison to the periods 1200 to 1800 IST  in the afternoon particularly during the more wet months April to October. It is explained that this preference of rainfall to the morning hours is to a large extent due to the increased frontal interaction of dry continental air from east or northeast with air from southwest to southeast having maritime characteristics.
