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.
The greatest amount of rainfall ever measured in the US occurred during Tropical Storm Claudette in Alvin, Texas on July 25, 1979 when 43 inches of rain fell in just 24 hours.
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.
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.
Forks, Washington is not the rainiest place in the US. The town of Hilo in Hawaii holds the title for the highest average annual rainfall in the United States. Forks, Washington does receive a significant amount of rain due to its location in the Pacific Northwest, but it is not the rainiest.
The southwestern region of the US, particularly states like Arizona and New Mexico, tend to be least affected by acid rain. This is due to lower levels of industrial activity producing pollutants that contribute to acid rain formation in these areas.
No. There are different rain amounts for the different places in the US.
The same as everywhere else in the US. The US dollar.
Same as everywhere! 25th of December.
it is an applesauce monster
18, same as everywhere else in the US.
All coca cola's taste the same everywhere.
The same as he does everywhere. He is not a respector of persons. He loves us all the same because we are his children.
obviously the same time everywhere in the us .... use your head thank you
The same as everywhere in the United States: US-dollar. It is just a city, not a country.
18, the same as it is everywhere else in the US under federal law.
same as everywhere else its not like Africa is US funded lik a colony
The desert southwest of the United States receives the least amount of rain, usually less than 10 inches per year on average.
