In what state do you find the rainiest place on earth?
For years, a pair of towns just 10 miles apart in the Khasi Hills of northeastern India have claimed the title, as each receives an average of more than 460 inches (nearly 40 feet) of rainfall every year. Cherrapunji, a land of beautiful mountains, waterfalls and valleys that is home to about 10,000 people on a plateau overlooking the plains of nearby Bangladesh, has long used its record-setting rain as a calling card for tourists, advertising itself as the "wettest place on planet Earth." Cherrapunji's rainfall is often rivaled by a tiny neighboring village about 10 miles to the west called Mawsynram, which edges out Cherrapunji when it comes to average annual rainfall by less than 4 inches: 467.35 inches per year for Mawsynram vs. 463.66 inches for Cherrapunji. Not far behind Cherrapunji and Mawsynram is Hawaii's Mount Waialeale, which sees an average of more than 450 inches of rainfall every year. In 1982, a record 683 inches of rain fell here, which works out to nearly 57 feet. All of these places above may turn out to be runners-up, however. New data has revealed that Puerto Lopez de Micay, a small town near the coastline of western Colombia, may be a new contender for the wettest inhabited place in the world. Between April 1960 and February 2012, an average annual rainfall of just over 507 inches has been recorded at the weather observation station there, including an astonishing 937 inches (78 feet) of rain in 1984.
