On average, New England receives about 40-50 inches of rainfall annually. However, the amount can vary depending on the specific location within the region and changes in weather patterns.
The equatorial region tends to receive much of the continent's annual rainfall due to its proximity to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), where warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to frequent and heavy rainfall. This region typically includes areas along the equator where rainforests are abundant.

All countries from time to time experience periods of drought, or low rainfall. Australia is the driest continent, yet sections of the north and northeast consistently receive high annual rainfall. The African continent is home to some of the world's driest countries. These include Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Chad, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Sudan. However, it must be remembered that each of these countries does experience wet years. Other countries (not in Africa) with lower rainfall include Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Syria.
