| Subject: What city or town in the world gets the most rain annually. Mon Nov 23, 2009 9:04 pm | |
| I tried googlying this but found for me it did not give me the most straight out answer. I thought google would come up with a particular city but unless i did something wrong I found it very frustrating to get an answer to this. I thought it could have been Seattle, seems I was wrong on that score, but I suppose I wanted to omit the hot countries with muggy rain, I wanted cities with cold rain if that makes sense. Having lived in a relatively hot place all my life I would like to spend six months in the wettest, cold wet, place for a darn change. xo | |

| well this one is close from where you live - Quote :
- Mount Bellenden Ker
Mount Bellenden Ker (1593 m/5225 ft) is the second highest mountain in Queensland, Australia. It is named after the botanist John Bellenden Ker Gawler. Located 60 km south of Cairns near Babinda, it is adjacent to Mount Bartle Frere, the state's highest peak. Several television transmitter towers have been built on the mountain
Rainfall records
The rain gauge at its summit records an annual average rainfall of 8312 mm (327.2 in), making it the wettest meteorological station in Australia. It also holds the record for the highest rainfall in a calendar year of 12461 mm (490.6 in) in 2000 and the highest rainfall in Australia for a calendar month of 5387 mm (212.1 in) in January 1979.[1]
In 2006, the mountain received more rainfall, 9,800 mm (390 in) than any other part of Australia.[2] This was primarily due to two severe tropical cyclones passing close to the mountain.
