5 American States With Way More Rain Than Britain 

Lol at any given point

You're right, but at least the people have fun there.

As a native Louisianaian, 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏💯✔👌

That’s funny 😂😂

Co Rin ayy I’m also from LA, rains every other day, we have to rain from around 70 inches of rain

yes he is very puny.

The English love their puns

Notice how he kind've blows a raspberry a little when he says the th sound? Kind of adorable actually.

It's been very pretty in the daytime lately but such a cold start to our days!

@@daveray44 Get your layers out, everybody. And prepare for soggy gloves.

The bright circle thing that hurts to look at? I have no idea! Love from Oregon

I'm in Phoenix. Once or twice a year when it's overcast or raining, people run outside to enjoy it. People here say they loooove cloudy days and rain. I'm from the East Coast. These idiots don't know what they're talking about.

I live in Arizona. When I was a Freshman, I went to Seattle to visit my mother for 6 weeks. It was the greatest 6 weeks. In was foggy every morning, cool and crisp even in freakin' June! And the best part was the rain. Big fat raindrops, not the sprinkles that you get in Arizona. Real rain. Everything was green even though no one owned a sprinkler. I saw things I only heard about, Like slugs, snails, I saw Mushrooms in yards rather than in the grocery store. And moss that really did grow on the North side of the trees. Flying back into Phoneix in the middle of July was like stepping up to an open oven door.

I started to say the same thing

Japanese lore is that foxes hold their weddings during sun showers.

When the same thing here were i live (florida)

I live in Georgia the weather is so bipolar

I think it is a southern expression. We say that in Alabama as well.

It’s also called the devil beating his wife

I've lived in Florida my whole life and I've never heard that. We've always called it Sun Showers

Only the capital of the US, not the world

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Africa gets the most lightning in the world

Central and Southwest Florida are among of the contenders for Lightning Capital of the World. When one considers that there are several cities in the state (Sarasota/Bradenton. Fort Myers/Cape Coral, Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte, and Naples|Immokalee) with more than 90 days a year of lightning storms) and quite few more with more than 80, Florida is one of the stormiest places on earth. Of course, when one considers that every day, it *will* rain for 15 minutes sometime between 3:00 and 5:00 every day in the summer, it makes sense, but to people who have never been to Florida, it is incomprehensible. Of course, Lawrence's criteria are a bit off, because the rainiest place in the continental United States is in the same state as some of the driest places. Putting Tatoosh Island (77 inches of rain/year) with Spokane (17 inches) is crazy, but states like Washington and Oregon have wildly divergent climates due to the terrain. Like Hawaii, the rainfall is strongly influenced by mountains. Unlike Hawaii, there isn't a continuous coastline to supply moist air everywhere. The western coasts of those states are very drizzly (with a maritime climate much like Britain) and the eastern halves of those states much more arid (the winds from the Pacific loose much of their moisture passing over three or four mountain ranges along the way). Even Seattle. renowned for its overcast skies, only receives about 40 inches of rain each year, because of the mountains on the Olympic peninsula sucking up much of the moisture of the prevailing winds.

It was very political. The news media focused on New Orleans (overwhelmingly Democrat) and ignored the Mississippi Gulf Coast (overwhelmingly Republican). Plus it was an opportunity to create fake news against George W. Bush (Republican) as allegedly being cruel and racist against the black population of New Orleans. It was all political spin. The news media has lost all credibility.

@@howtubeable exactly

Yep. I'm from Mississippi, and our coast and for many, many miles inland was completely devastated, far more than New Orleans. Entire towns were washed away. Nobody cared, and nobody remembers. But we're used to it.

@@howtubeable hush up🙄

@@billiev.9719 It's a damn shame too. The thing that struck me the most was how complete the destruction was. There were a few miles I remember where there wasn't even debris. You could only tell that it was developed at some point because of a handful of utility poles and foundations dotted the ground.

its still wet now lol

Yep. West Palm here. We get rain daily in the summer. Downpours for an hour or so.

@@GarrettMerkin broward here. its so often just fucking damp

I'm in Broward and tbh I dont know if I'm walking or swimming when I go outside .

zach rubin It rains for 2 minutes at a time 20 times a day

@stockart whiteman We actually enjoyed living in England for three years, when dad was in the United States Air Force.

I don’t know...I live in Florida, and it can rain several days in a row non-stop😬

Not in Oregon from November to March.

john hamilton only during the day!😉

The sun appearing after a brief summer storm *sucks*! At least it does in the hot and humid parts of the country. You're like, "Oh, nice! The rain will help to cool things down a bit." Then it stops and the evil sun starts to evaporate the water, making it even more humid! By the way, the reason why people say, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity", is because sometimes it actually gets so humid that sweat won't evaporate.

Even the flag took the weather with it

@@davehoward22 #LOL

This is my favorite comment ever.

@@davehoward22 then what happened to Australia? Did they get the wrong aspect ratio or something?

* Flexing* I love the rain here

Cilla W About a week ago I was sitting in my car watching it rain about 15 car spaces away while my car was bone dry.

It's like that in Utah too. One side of the street it's raining and the other dry in the summer. But if you take an umbrella that's assurance it won't.

Heck, we can claim all the above in Louisiana as well. I had multiple occasions where it was raining in the front yard while dry in the back or vice versa. And our house was tiny!

Honey I've had it literally rain at my front porch and the sun shine at the back door.

Gosh, I wish I'd said basically that a month ago...oh, but I did.

3rd El Tercero oh yeah.. my mistake.. millimeters

3rd El Tercero yeah I wish my umbrella was that big cause I could share it with all the hot women ;) 😂

Cajun Marine It was very dry and sunny in central Florida today. And HOT, can't forget to mention hot.

Im from Sheffield and today was pretty grim..Freezing

I live in lousiana and it is the coldest temperature we ever received 24 Fahrenheit

Come to Yorkshire ,have to wear 3 coats to get out the house. ,(i hate winter)😄

william Hayford also from Mobile. At this point I’m just glad that the temp has dropped below 90 degrees.

AngelJazz oh yes, it’s been incredible the last week or so

I’m also from mobile, Mobile gang 😎✊ represent

I live about 80 miles up I65 from Government St. It rains so much here and I have lived in Tacoma, WA. Its just damp there because of the Sound and the mountain. You just need a hoodie. I need a canoe to get from my door to the garage when it rains.

Bet you didn't know that "Big Daddy" nature went gangsta and started wearing his tornado belt below his ass. Or maybe you do. You're right, MS and AL need to get more bad tornadoes than OK and KS.

Bean Burrito, or AZ and NM.

@Jim Elliott SITKA !!! ...St. Michael's ! A *really* cool piece of history, still standing in almost perfect condition !!!

Mark Holm It never makes sense in Southern California either.

I don’t think that “It Never Rains In Southern California” was actually about precipitation amounts. Good song, nonetheless

You know that he never said the song was about rain, right? He was simply using it as a pun for rain free falling.

They get lots of rain on the western third, but both states are mostly deserts.

@@johntousseau9380 oregon and washington have tons of forest

It’s because it rains a lot but mostly a drizzle or light rain on and off, not a constant downpour.

Yes the east side looks like another planet compared to the westside. The drive on the Columbia Gorge is an amazing way to see the transition

It's the rain shadow from the Cascades. The coast/western side of the cascades could probably make the list. The eastern side drops the state's average massively. Though on the plus side claiming 300 days of sun is actually not far off the mark for eastern Washington/Oregon. Oddly enough boat ownership is high in some areas on the east side due to river and lakes fed from the mountain ranges we're sandwiched between.

Between 3pm to 5pm, June through August, y'all best have rain jackets ready.

And creates a perfect steam bath.

It's really funny how many people leave Disney world as soon as it starts to rain. Like the lines are always the best right after a downpoor because all the people not familiar with the Floridian climate expect the rain to last till midnight or something.

@@Primalxbeast Yes, especially when you get your fifteen minute, 3pm, gully washer. There's nothing like watching the steam rise from the cement and asphalt, and knowing as a native that it's time to stay inside, grab a cold beer, and enjoy the AC.

Tropical. Stationed overseas. Rain over night, sunny the next day.

Right behind ya - MO

I perfer rain. I don't have to shovel rain.

Another Madisonian here!

we got 5 inches here in milwaukee

@@brandyni7675 same here in Kansas. However, we have a weekend forecast of high 60s. We live in a yo-yo

The difference between Seattle and the Great Lakes states and the Midwest in general, is that much, if not most, of Seattle's rain arrives in drizzles that can go on for days. I think of it as "torrential mist". There are not that many honest downpours in Seattle.

@@blindleader42 My mom calls it Oregon Mist: It mist Oregon and hit us (WA).

Same as in UK.

Carl Rice Makes enjoying fall quite troublesome

It's a lovely part of our Alabama flavor of fall, I think.

Whew. It is so wet here.

I'm from Alabama but I've lived in a desert for like eight years it sucks bros 😥

It's been super dry in my part of Alabama this year.

Same lol

Mississippian living in Alabama, here. (don't ask) Raining here, too.

Seems I'm not alone😘!

Weetie Whitfield I’m in Bay Area California. God I wish it would rain. Maybe it would help put the fires out, and people can get their electricity back. :(

North Mississippi here. Can confirm liquid continues to fall down upon us.

No one voted for Humidity State.

New Mexico boasted several continuous Years of the sun shining for at least half the day.

Or even Purple.

Way too early, can't imagine getting snow that early in the year. It got up to 80 here in Louisiana today, and the humidity was positively dreadful.

Aggieangler ‘21 houston area averages 50-55” a year.

Nearly 60 inches came from Harvey alone.

Illinois went as December for Halloween

My daughter was on a school trip in Indianapolis that day. She texted "It's Snowing!"

Same here in Northern Indiana. We're supposed to get snow just in time for trick-or-treating (which frankly is easier to ToT in than the freezing cold rain but still stinks big time).

The world record, is here in Washington State. Just north of Seattle, at Mt. Baker, at the ski area is home to the world's greatest recorded snowfall in one season, 1,140 inches (95.0 ft; 29.0 m), recorded during the 1998-99 season

Wisconsin being one of them?

TheCodeOfReality, well actually probably not

Wally626v I was literally thinking the same thing. I grew up in dry Eastern Oregon and spent the following 17 years divided between Western Washington and Western Oregon. I’m sure Washington would win if it wasn’t for the high desert.

@@sahpem4425 Actually, Seattle only gets 38" of rain per year; and most of the Northwest (west of the Cascades) are similar. The difference is in the strength of the storms -- they have light to moderate rain. In the South, they have far less rainy days but get far more rain per storm, on average.

As an example, NYC averages 49" per year. Then we have Forks WA and their 110 ". Then go a couple miles east, as the crow flies, to Sequim and their 15" a year. What a big contrast

Washington's Hoh rain forest gets between 140" and 170" per year.

Between the dry regions east of the Cascades and the coastal rainforests, Washington and Oregon rainfall averages itself out. But the rain in the Seattle area is usually very light.

I remember the same thing from living in NC Georgia years ago. A daily 4pm shower then the humidity rose from 100 to 150 percent.

It's just annoying to me.

bassage13 that's fair, we all have different views

free headache ...yeah !

I'm also from Oregon, and I was wondering where we rank.

Josh where I live in Oregon we get buckets of rain!

I live on the Oregon coast where it is sometimes wet without even raining. There will just be a heavy mist in the air that soaks everything.

@@caulkins69 That happens sometimes here, but it's usually a frozen wonderland, and so those tiny bits of mist freeze and you can see them at night in the street lamp light beams.

That's one thing I really miss in the NW. Thunder and lighting. We're lucky to get once a year. I miss the awesome show we had in when I lived in Arizona

@@wendelynmusic We have the most insane lighting here in Arizona. Photographers from all over the world come here every monsoon season just to get pictures.

Patricia Robbins yep it’s been raining around Montgomery for the past few days

@@Butterfly200408 I hope it stops raining soon. We had a tornado go through our neighborhood on Friday. Lots of bad weather here lately.

What's your favorite restaurant down there?

@@radishpineapple74 Doc Fords is great then finished off at Joey's custard.

@@ericolens3 ayyy 985

Looked out my window. Can confirm

My yard is often soggy. A few days seems like a drought.

Got so much rain yesterday here in Kalamazoo even the basement is damp. Expect rain tomorrow and throughout the week. It'll probably rain until it decides to snow.

@@rtyria Had snow on the ground this morning northeast of you. Rain to snow and think more's coming.

@@JNoMooreNumbers yuck. You can keep it a bit longer. I'm not ready for winter just yet.

Amazed washington and oregon werent on the list.

It rains frequently, but it doesn't rain very heavy. That's why no one seems to own a raincoat despite it drizzling 2/3 of the year.

Kylez McGee The Red Wings are the greatest Ice Hockey team ever.

Illinois here, we get a shootout every day. Go Blackhawks

Here in the state of the Red Wings, it is presently raining...and by the time its done, the rain drops will be replaced with wet flakes.

Omg lol 🤣 I still prefer rain over the wet stuff. I grew up in Maine and Michigan, guess who my other team is lol

Seattle is supposed to get a hockey team soon. Go whomever! Lol

Next couple of days it's going to be extra soggy. 30-50 mph hour winds predicted and 100% chance of rain tomorrow evening in Cleveland, just FYI. Hi from Akron. British weather has nothing on Ohio in terms of dreariness, at least in Fall and Winter. Summer is wonderful. Miss it. :`(

@@andromedaspark2241 aww shit buddy its another person in akron funny how small of a world we live in

@@keltondavis4559 How small a world.

Fucking hell you guy's have it all.your good weather is better than ours and even your shit weather is better than ours😂

Which part? I'm in Baldwin county.

Chilton county reporting in. Still raining.

@@GetThemLyrics damn, it just stopped here.

Or the people with Alligators

We have heat, wind and fires instead. :(

He's a naughty boy.
