Mawsynram, India
Mawsynram, located in the Meghalaya State in India, is the wettest place in the world. It receives an annual rainfall of 11,871 millimeters. The mountainous terrain of the surrounding land forces the northward-moving warm moist monsoon winds coming from the Bay of Bengal to converge over Mawsynram.Weather Talk: February is usually the driest month of the year. February is the driest month of the year based on average precipitation (rain plus melted snow). Part of the reason is that there are fewer days in the month.

Winter on the Gold Coast is generally sunny and dry with average temperatures between 12.5 - 21.5°C (54.5 - 70.7°F). The Hinterland is slightly cooler with maximum winter temperatures around 16°C (60.8°F).

December-February
This is Brisbane's wet, humid summer season with temperatures reaching the mid-80s. The region sees the most rainfall in January and February; thunderstorms are common, and heavy precipitation may lead to floods.In 2019, Mercer's Cost of Living Survey ranked Brisbane as the world's 103rd most expensive city out of the 209 cities surveyed. Though Brisbane is ranked as cheaper than Sydney, Perth and Melbourne, it is more expensive than Adelaide.
It has not snowed in Brisbane in modern times. At most, in extreme weather, it may occasionally snow in the "Granite Belt", the region of the southern Darling Downs on the border of Queensland and New South wales, near Stanthorpe. Prior to this, the only recorded snowfalls were on 27 June 1927 and 27 July 1882.
June and July are the coldest months, with average maximums of about 22 °C (72 °F); maximum temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F) are rare.
