no. some areas, like the desert, gets only1-5 inches a year while rain forests get more than 300. And the type of rain also varies. It rains in Seattle WA almost every day, something like 96% of the days of the year. BUT, most of the times the rain is a slight mist and only for a few hours. This is caused by the Mountains to the East of the city. The clouds bump up against the mountains and drops it moisture and then goes over them. The area on the East side of the mountains gets very little rain at all. Some places gets rain in the morning, for example and not the rest of the day.

Where is the Greatest amount of acid rain in US?
I don't know of any legitimate evidence, but I would postulate that since pollution from Asia and the US (two huge polluters) travels on the jet stream to the east coast, the eastern-most states would have more acid rain than anywhere else in the US. At any rate, it's sad that acid rain is an issue wherever you go.
How can rain be measured?
Displayed by a linear measurement like the US Customary Inches or the Metric System. Rainfall is collected by a collection container (rain gauge) that can vary in shapes from a straight sided cylinder to a funnel shape leading to a calibrated measuring device. If the rain gauge is a simple cylinder then simply measuring the amount of water in the cylinder with a ruler would tell you the amount of rainfall if there was no evaporation. Most often rain gauges are designed to be more accurate by collecting the rain in a funnel device that has a specified size larger than the collector. The collector has been calibrated with the measuring markers to match the desired unit of measure. Another form of rain measure is electronic by weight. The principle is the same, but since rain water generally has a constant weight a certain amount of water accumulates in the collector until it flips a weight sensor allowing it to spill past. At this time an increment in rainfall by the calibrated amount is added to the total and the electronic sensor springs back to collect more rainfall and repeat the process.
