उत्तर
Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra is one of the wettest place in India due to its location on a windward slopе.
Explanation:
Mahabaleshwar is located on the windward side of the Western Ghats. When moist monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea hit the Western Ghats, they are forced to rise, cool, and condense, causing heavy rainfall on the windward slopes. This relief rainfall makes Mahabaleshwar one of the wettest places in India. The leeward side gets less rain due to the rain-shadow effect.
