The world record for the longest rainfall duration is held by the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where it rained continuously for 331 days in 1982-1983. This constant rainfall led to severe flooding and significant damage to the island.
A Hot spot is stationary in time and burns though the solid lithosphere creating an island through volcanic eruptions. The lithosphere is separated into plates that move around so if a hot spot occurs under an oceanic plate it forms a island and as the plate moves (and the hot spot does not) it forms a chain of islands (as the plate moves over the hot spot). This is how the Hawaiian chain is formed.
Hawaii has the rainiest spot on Earth, which is located on the island of Kauai. Mt. Wai'ale'ale holds this distinction, receiving an average annual rainfall of around 450 inches.
