What is the wettest location on earth?

There isn't a clear winner for wettest location on Earth, given uncertain measuring techniques, sparsely-populated regions, and different ways of defining "wettest".One candidate is Mt. Wai`ale`ale, located on the island of Kauai in the Hawaiian island chain, receives over 460 inches of rain per year. Rain falls almost every day of the year here.Mount Tutenendo, Colombia, is another candidate, though probably not quite as wet. The mountains in this area are among the wettest in the world, drawing moisture from both the Pacific and Caribbean.Cherrapunji and nearby Mawsynram in northeastern India hold some of the records for most rainfall. Mawsynram is a village in the East Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya state in north-eastern India, 56 kilometers from Shillong. It is reportedly the wettest place on Earth as far as average rainfall, with an annual rainfall of 11,872 millimetres (467.4 in). Most of the rain here comes from the summer monsoon, meaning this area definitely gets more rain than anywhere else during these months, but is relatively dry during the remainder of the year. Mawsynram holds two world records:For a single year: 22,987 mm (904.9 inches) between August 1860 and July 1861For a single month: 9299.96 mm (366.14 inches) in July 1861.Other very, but not superlatively, wet places include many of the islands around the Indian Ocean, the western tropical Pacific Ocean, and northwestern North America in the temperate rain forest.
