What is the longest it has ever rained without stopping?

The world record for the longest rainfall duration is held by the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where it rained continuously for 331 days in 1982-1983. This constant rainfall led to severe flooding and significant damage to the island.


What would happen to the level of the water table if it rained continuously for several weeks?

If it rained continuously for several weeks, the water table would likely rise. The water from the rain would infiltrate the ground and saturate the soil, leading to an increase in groundwater levels. This could potentially result in flooding in low-lying areas.


What would happen if it rained over a Aztec home?

If it rained over an Aztec home, the flat roof design would likely collect the water in channels and direct it to a cistern for storage and later use. The Aztecs were known for their advanced water management systems, so rainwater harvesting would have been an important part of their household infrastructure.

What is the longest period of time that it rained in the US?

Some parts of the United States, especially the Pacific Northwest, seem to have rainy seasons, when many days in a row are rainy or drizzly. For example, in Otis, Oregon, it rained from December 7, 1997 to February 23, 1998. In Seattle, Washington in early 1953, that city recorded 33 consecutive days of rain. But the record for most consecutive days comes from the town of Ketchikan, Alaska, which had 101 days of rain in a row, also in 1953. There is also another possible answer. In the city of Kailua, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, it rained from August 27, 1993 to April 30, 1994; but some sources believe that should not count because the city is right near a rain forest. And it should also be noted that because the National Weather Service only began keeping records in the late 1800s, there may have been other long-duration rain events that we don't know much about.
