rain Seattle Raniest City? Ha ha!

I hear this all the time from folks back home (Southern U.S.) about how Seattle’s the raniest city. And they always ask me how I can survive in such a wet climate.

The 10 rainiest cities in the U.S. by amount of annual rainfall include:

  1. Mobile, Ala.: 67 inches average annual rainfall; 59 average annual rainy days
  2. Pensacola, Fla.: 65 inches average annual rainfall; 56 average annual rainy days
  3. New Orleans, La.: 64 inches average annual rainfall; 59 average annual rainy days
  4. West Palm Beach, Fla.: 63 inches average annual rainfall; 58 average annual rainy days
  5. Lafayette, La.: 62 inches average annual rainfall; 55 average annual rainy days
  6. Baton Rouge, La.: 62 inches average annual rainfall; 56 average annual rainy days
  7. Miami, Fla.: 62 inches average annual rainfall; 57 average annual rainy days
  8. Port Arthur, Texas: 61 inches average annual rainfall; 51 average annual rainy days
  9. Tallahassee, Fla.: 61 inches average annual rainfall; 56 average annual rainy days
  10. Lake Charles, La.: 58 inches average annual rainfall; 50 average annual rainy days

Notice that Seattle is NOT on the list!?! Supposedly the whole rumor about Seattle’s rainy days was started back in the 70’s to keep people from moving out here. It’s amazing what a rumor can do…

You’re retarded. Those other cities have downpours. We here in Seattle have hundreds of days of grey and drizzle that make you wanna shoot yourself! Those other ones on the list rain and then get sunny days to fill the voids in. Not us……….it sucks here in SEA!
