Why in the world does rain keep dumping on Washington, D.C., and Baltimore? For 40 days (and nights), relentless waves of storms have soaked the corridor from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore. An unbelievable 12-15 inches of rain has drenched this area since June 1 — more rain than falls in an entire summer, on average (10.44 inches in D.C.). Rain has fallen on 25 of the last 36 days, and many Washingtonians are fed up with this weather better suited for mushrooms than people.

Annual Rainfall for U.S. States For example, the only rainfall figure I have for Alaska is for Juneau, which is much wetter than the rest of the state. (In fact, I think Alaska was the answer the game had for the state with the least annual rainfall. Much of the state is very dry.) Still, I think the figures make a pretty good case for Rhode Island getting the least rainfall.

Rain in Seattle: What's the Weather in Seattle Really Like? How many days of rain does Seattle get in a year? About 150. How many days of sun? On average, about 58 per year, but many of our cloudy days feature what we call sunbreaks or some sun breaking through, so cloudy does not mean dreary or rainy necessarily. Average rainfall in Seattle? 37 inches, which is less than many major cities. Number of cloudy days each year? About 225 (most of them in the autumn and winter). What cities get more rain than Seattle? Several! Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and even Portland all get more inches of rain per year than Seattle. Portland just edges Seattle out with an annual average rainfall of 37.5. However, Seattle is known for its steady, gentle rain rather than big storms where many East Coast cities get huge bursts of rainfall all at once.

- Seattle gets a bad rap because of its weather, and while it is indeed overcast much of the time, it gets a lot less rain than Miami, for example, or Mobile, Alabama, and when the clouds clear, there is something about the sun glinting off Puget Sound and the many lakes in Seattle that turns the city golden.
