Kaua`i: In the center of the island is Kawaikini Peak, rising 5,170 feet and Mount Waialeale, rising 5,080 feet. Mount Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 460 inches of rain a year, and contributing to this island's nickname; the Garden Island.

Though Mt. Waialeale is believed to have maximum rain, it rains maximum in Mawsynram, Meghalaya, India. Since, it does not have a meteorological department, Cherrapunji is reported as wettest place on the Earth, with a whopping average of 1270 centimeters, or 496 inches of rain (over 41 feet).
