A recent study of 195 cities over the last 30 years found that the East and Southeast of the USA is getting wetter while the West gets drier. In fact, the Pacific Northwest didn't even enter the list until number 24, Olympia Washington. Of course there are other things to consider, Olympia still had the most number of rainy days which probably means we get more of those "drizzly" days when it rains but it doesn't.
The top ten wettest cities include:
- Mobile, Alabama - 67 inches ave
- Pensacola, Florida - 65 inches ave
- New Orleans, Louisiana - 64 inches ave
- West Palm Beach, Florida - 63 inches ave
- Lafayette, Louisiana - 62 inches ave
- Baton Rouge, Louisiana - 62 inches ave
- Miami, Florida - 62 inches ave
- Port Arthur, Texas - 61 inches ave
- Tallahassee, Florida - 61 inches ave
- Lake Charles, Louisiana - 58 inches ave
