Florida is a large state. It is the second largest state east of the Mississippi River. The rainfall varies according to the part of the state.

Miami-Dade County frequently gets more than 60 inches of rainfall a year. Due to water mismanagement, it is the only desert in the world that receives over 20 inches of water in a year.

As one goes north, the amount of rain decreases, but it increases as one reaches Jacksonville.

The Gulf Coast at the same latitude receives about 10 inches less rain a year.

Along the panhandle, the amount of rain varies considerably. Normally it is around 50 inches. Every few years it has a horrible drought. The rivers become real low and lakes dry up. When that happens, the limestone caves below the ground empty out. Then the weight of the ground makes some caves crash down and sink holes are created.
