What regions of the US have the highest rainfall?
The most rainfall occurs on the windward side of some of the mountains in Hawaii, where some of the most rainfall in the world occurs (a couple hundred inches). Parts of coastal Alaska also receive well over 100 inches, and there is a mid-latitude rain forest in southeastern Alaska. In the continental United States, the windward side of mountain ranges generally get the most, with over 100 inches in some parts of the West, especially the Cascades. Despite popular misconception, the Pacific Northwest does not receive the most rainfall west of the mountains. Places like Seattle average less than 40 inches annually, which is less than cities like New York and Boston. They do, however, receive rain very frequently, particularly during the cool season, which can make it seem like it's raining constantly.
