Question: Which state receives the most annual rainfall in the U.S.?
Answer: Hawaii tops the list as the rainiest state, averaging 63 inches of rain a year—though Kauai’s Mount Waialeale soaks up about 450 inches, making it one of the wettest spots on Earth. Mount Waialeale is basically a perfect rain-catching machine in the middle of the Pacific, while Hawaii’s 63 inches is a statewide average that blends super-wet spots with very dry ones.
