  1. I know Seatle as the rainy State.  I don't know if it rains much though :)


  2. your name is bella and you havent ever heard of forks washington?!?!  read twilight!  its the RAINIEST place in the WORLD!

  3. The rainiest part of the USA is in part of Hawaii, what gets something like 30 feet of rain per year. However  this is very localized, and large parts of Hawaii are also very dry

    The rainiest states on average are however on the Gulf Coast. Much of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida can get over 50 to 60 inches of precipitation per year.

  4. The record rainfall for the U.S. is 480 inches in Mt. Waialeale in Kauai, Hawaii.  

    "One city that is known for rain is Seattle, Washington. Rain is common in the winter, but mostly the climate is cloudy with little rain. Seattle's average rainfall is 942 mm (37.1 inches) per year,[5] less than New York City's 1173 mm (46.2 inches),[6] but Seattle has 201 cloudy days per year, compared to 152 in New York. Seattle's neighbor to the south, Portland, Oregon, gets more rain with an average of 45 inches (1,100 mm) a year. [7] However, it should be noted that Seattle lies in the rain shadow of the nearby Olympic Mountains, with some locations on the windward sides of the mountains receiving close to 130 inches per year.[8] The wettest city in the continental United States is Mobile, Alabama, which average 67 inches of rainfall per year.[9] Ketchikan Alaska and other locations in the temperate rainforest of southeast Alaska get an average of 160 inches of rain a year,[10] sometimes receiving over 200 inches in a year."

  5. it rains like every other day in missouri & it floods a lot

  6. Hawaii is the wettest state with an annual average of 63.7 inches

    Kauai, the "Garden Isle," is home to several natural wonders, such as the Wailua River, Waimea Canyon, and the Na Pali Coast. Mount Waialeale is known as one of the rainiest spots in the world.
