Where is the most rainy place on earth?

Answer 1

The wettest places on Earth are difficult to measure. After doing some research for the Wikipedia article on Rain, this are the figures I included there: Cherrapunji, India, averages 11,430 mm (450 in). The highest recorded rainfall in a single year was 22,987 mm (904.9 inches) in 1861. The 38-year average at Mawsynram, Meghalaya, India is 11,873 mm (467.4 inches), but the record is taken by a peon of the Department of Public Works. Tutunendo, a small town situated in Chocó, Colombia is one of the places with a larger measured rainfall in the world, averaging 11,394 mm per year (448 in). In 1974 the town received 26,303 mm (1,035.6 in), which is the largest figure I found. Finally, Mount Waialeale on the island of Kauaʻi in the Hawaiian Islands averages more than 460 inches (11,680 mm) of rain over the last 32 years, with a record 683 inches (17,340 mm) in 1982. In 1850, Joseph Dalton Hooker, a Royal Navy doctor turned naturalist, who spent the monsoon months at Cherrapunji, recorded variations in measured rain. "He was puzzled by the curiously localised patterns of rain; move your gauge a few hundred yards and it registered only half as much as before", writes Alexander Frater in his book, 'Chasing the Monsoon'. This shows that recording the rainfall at the most humids places on earth has always been a difficult task for weathermen.
