In the continental US the area with the highest average rainfall is the hoh rainforest on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state, with roughly 140 inches per year. However Mount Waialeale on Kauai, Hawaii receives nearly 460 inches per year. The word Waialeale actually means overflowing water in Hawaiian, credit to the namer!
