Countries with the Most Precipitation

I missed the only 3 African countries...

I put Colombia as a joke... and got it!

I don't get it.

How did i manage to try every south American country but not Colombia?

Was surprised how East Timor cannot be here when all surrounding countries are represented in this list.

Same, that really threw me off. Especially since it's so tiny; it's not like the weather has room to be THAT much different from surrounding countries.

So maybe there's just no data for it?

Yes but Indonesia is huge and Timor is far from being it's wettest Island. I suppose Indonesia ranks that high because of huge islands with Equatorial Climate characteristics like Sumatra, Borneo, New Guinea and Sulawesi. Timor is in the southern part of the country and like the southern coast of New Guinea and Cape York, it tends to shift to a Tropical Climate with dry and monsoon seasons.

What's more surprising is that Grenada, Barbados, Suriname and Guyana are here and not Trinidad...

Looks like Trinidad is #23 on the list, with about 20 cm per year less than St Lucia.

Fun one!

Surprising that Gabon and both Congos didn't make the list.

At first I thought you were asking for countries with places that had the highest totals of precipitation, which is different from countries with the highest average rainfall. I couldn't figure out why the US wasn't appearing, since Kauai and Maui are a couple of the wettest places on earth.

This is one of the tougher geography quizzes. Bravo!

Was really surprised Brazil wasn't number one, or even on the list. What happened to the Amazon rain forest? And what about India with the monsoons? Good quiz though.

It would be good to change the title to something that makes it clear this is precipitation per square kilometer (or whatever the unit is). Otherwise, it is very confusing how countries like Brazil do not appear here.

I got 9 countries

I think, living here that it is impossible Ireland is not on this list

A good example of perception versus reality. It is very often rainy and cloudy in places like Ireland, Uk and the Netherlands, but the quantity of acual rain is not that bad. Very often it's very light rain compared to the monsoons of the tropics. You'll definitely experience much more lcoudy, dreary and wet weather though, than someone getting 1 hour of downpour and sunshine after. :)

Very interesting quiz.

I am really surprised by Solomon Islands being third!

Just for laughs, where is The UK ranked on this list?
