Kirti
Southwest Monsoon accounts for around 85% of India’s total rainfall.
Explanation:
The southwest monsoon’s Bay of Bengal Branch is separated into two main streams. The first stream reaches Meghalaya after crossing the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta. The orographic influence causes heavy rainfall in this area.
