It is easier to the number of precipitation in this Indian city perceived in meters - for the year on the heads of citizens, 12 meters of water poured here! 5 months a year there are endless shower here, during which time they carry almost all the soil without letting the opportunity to develop agriculture. And in 1980, the nature of the city was swirling here and literally flooded the city, lining almost 26.5-meter thickness of the water layer on it! Same rainy Month It happened in July 1986, when the level of precipitation fell on a beautiful number of 10,000 mm.
To become the city of Cherapundy lie for the Heavenly Waterfall contributed to the mountains of Khasi, in which the cloud moisture rests and pour it on the heads of the unfortunate citizens. However, they still do not surrender and try to resist the elements, using also nature itself - building bridges from trees. With the help of a wire frame, they guide the roots of rubber trees in certain place And waiting for those will germinate in the right direction. Such an almost non-good bridge, by the way, it turns out quite strong, and can withstand the weight of 50 people. Here is a typical monsonic climate: after five months of endless rains there are even a longer 7-month drought. Dry and rather cool season falls here for November-February.

It is believed that London is a city permanent rains and fogs. In fact, it is not. It is proved that in Europe there are cities and more rainy, and more foggy than the capital of Misty Albion.
Web2.airmail.net web page amounted to the European cities ranking on weather conditions, based on the World Meteorological Organization. These are cities with the most volatile and stable weather, hot and cold cities, cities with the greatest and lowest amount of precipitation, humidity, the greatest number Thunderstorms, sun, rainy, snow, foggy and frosty days.
Rome and Milan were the most foggy cities, and London did not even enter the top 10. In the list of wet cities London - on 6th place, rain - by 3, by total Precipitation per year, London did not enter the top ten. But in the capital of the British kingdom, the most stable weather, and the thunderstorms here are only 13 days a year.
Nymnilivice weather in Milan. In addition, it is characteristic high level precipitation (97.3 cm) and 49 thunderstorm days a year.
Most of the rains in Copenhagen - Denmark has marine climate By virtue of their geographical location.
Helsinki - very cold city. During the winter here, 51 days are not visible to the sun, and in the north of Finland a snowball shelters the land on a long period - From mid-October to mid-May.
Madrid is the least wet city in Europe. Perhaps the reason is that it is both the highest cities in Europe - the capital of Spain is located at an altitude of 667 meters above sea level. Madrid has high temperature differences. At the same time, this is one of the warmest cities in Europe.
In Athens the biggest heat. On June 27, 2007, a record temperature of 46.2 s ° was installed in the city.

Are moisture, which falls on the surface of the Earth from the atmosphere. They accumulate in the clouds, but not all of them give moisture to fall on the surface of the planet. To do this, it is necessary that the drops or crystals can overcome the resistance of the air, typing enough for this mass. This is due to the connection of the drops with each other.
A variety of drafts
Depending on how precipitation looks and, from which state of the water they are formed, they are accepted to divide into six species. Each of them has its physical features.
Main types:
- rain - water drops with a size of 0.5 mm;
- moro - water particles up to 0.5 mm;
- snow - Hexagon Ice Crystals;
- snowy croup - rounded kernel with a diameter of 1 mm and more, which can be easily squeezed with fingers;
- ice croups - rounded kernels coated with ice crust, which are plugged when falling to the surface;
- grad - large icy particles of rounded shapes, which can sometimes weigh more than 300 g.
Distribution on Earth
There are several types of precipitation depending on annual stroke. They have their own characteristics.
- Equatorial. Uniform rain dropout throughout the year. The lack of dry months, the smallest amount of drop-down moisture falls at the time of equinox and solstice, which are in 04, 10, 06, 01
- Monsoon. Uneven precipitation - maximum amount falls in summer season, minimal in the winter season.
- Mediterranean. Maximum precipitation is fixed in winter, at least summer. It is found in subtropics, on the west coasts and in the middle of the continent. There is a gradual decrease in the amount as the mainland approaches the central part.
- Continental. Precipitation more precisely in the warm season, and with the arrival of colds they are becoming less.
- Nautical. Uniform distribution of moisture throughout the year. A minor maximum can be traced in the autumn-winter period.
What affects the distribution of precipitation on earth
In order to understand where the maximum amount of precipitation is on Earth, it is necessary to understand what this indicator depends.
The precipitation during the year is unevenly distributed over the ground. Their number decreases geographically from the equator to the poles. It can be said that their amount affects the geographical latitude.
Also, their distribution depends on air temperature, movement air mass, relief, distance from the coast, sea currents.
For example, if warm wet meet on their way of the mountain, they, rising by their slopes, are cooled and issued precipitation. Therefore, the maximum amount of them falls on the mountain slopes, where the most wet parts of the Earth are located.
Where the maximum amount of precipitation falls
The territory of the equator is the leader in the number of precipitation for the year. Average indicators are 1000-2000 mm moisture throughout the year. There are areas on certain slopes of mountains, where this indicator increases to 6000-7000. And on the Cameroon volcano (MONGO MA NDEMI), the maximum precipitation falls within 10,000 mm and more.
This is explained high temperatures air high humidity, the predominance of ascending air flows.
It has long been noticed that on the geographical latitude of the equator 20º south and 20º to the north, almost 50% of all sediments of the Earth falls. Observations for many decades prove that the maximum amount of precipitation falls at the equator, especially in the mountainous area.
Distribution of the amount of drop-down moisture to the total amount of continents
Making sure that the maximum amount of precipitation falls on the equator, it is possible to consider in percentage ratio the number of drop-down precipitation through continents.
Maximum annual precipitation
Mount Vamaleal (Hawaii) is considered the most rainy place on the planet. Here during the year 335 days it's raining. The opposite situation is traced in the Atakama desert (Chile), in which the rain may not fall out during the year.
As for the greatest index of moisture for the year on average, the highest indicators from the Hawaiian Islands and India. On Mount Wayville (Hawaii), the maximum amount of precipitation falls up to 11900 mm, and at Cherapundy station (India) - up to 11400 mm. These two regions are the richest moisture.
The most arid regions are Africa and for example, in the oasis of Khara (Egypt), there is an average of less than 0.1 mm moisture per year, and in the town of Arik (Chile) - 0.5 mm.
Maximum indicators around the world
It is already clear that the most moisture has to be equator. As for the maximum indicators, they were recorded in different time And on different continents.
So the maximum amount of moisture for a minute fell in the city of UNionville (USA). It happened 04.07.1956. Their number per minute amounted to 31.2 mm.
If you continue the topic, then the maximum daily rainfall was recorded in the city of Silay Indian Ocean). From 04/15/1952 to 16.04.1952, 1870 mm of water fell.
Maximum for the month belongs to the already famous city of Cherapundy (India), where 9299 mm of rain fell in July 1861. In the same year, the maximum indicator was recorded here, which was 26461 mm per year.
All presented data are not final. Observations from weather conditions Show many new records, including relatively drop-down moisture. So, the record for the very strong rain He was beaten 14 years old on Guadelupe Island. From the previous indicator, he distinguished himself a few mm.
The most unloved autumn phenomenon - it's rain! Then all the magnificence of fading nature is overshadowed with gray sky, slush, dampness and cold damp wind. It seems that the sky broke away ... My girlfriend, who now lives far away from me, in St. Petersburg, laughs at my autumn Handrea, because in St. Petersburg it rains is the usual phenomenon. And what city in Russia is the most rainy?
Where in Russia the most precipitation falls
For some reason, many people believe that the most rainy city is St. Petersburg. But in fact, this opinion is mistaken. Yes, precipitation here drops a lot, but nevertheless, this city is far from the first place.
The greatest rates are observed in the Far Eastern region. This is primarily refer to the Kuril Islands. The absolute record is installed in North Kurilsk. It is usually about 1840 mm precipitation for the year. Scientists say that if the water coming from the sky did not evaporate and did not succeed in the ground, but would remain on the streets, then this city in short time would turn into huge pool.
Ranking the most rainy regions of Russia: second place
In second place is the well-known and favorite city resort of Sochi. This city is really one of the most "wetted" city, about 1,700 mm of different precipitation falls here annually. It is worth noting that summer is not too wet here, and the bulk of the sediments falls during the cold season - the autumn-winter season. Here is observed and very unpleasant a natural phenomenon - Nascent Tornado. They seem to be ashamed of the water from the sea, and then, like from the bucket, watered the city.
Rating of the most rainy regions of Russia: third place
This place won South Kurilsk. Here, during the year, 1250 mm is poured onto the ground. Compared to the two previous leaders, it seems that this indicator is not so big. But in fact, it is a lot. So, for example, in St. Petersburg - 660 mm per year, which is even less than in Moscow, where 700 mm drops.
The rest of the places were distributed like this:
- in fourth place - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky;
- on the fifth - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk;
- the sixth went to Moscow;
- seventh - St. Petersburg.
So meteorologists have destroyed the stereotype of the rainy of the northern capital, just a closing seven of the most rainy cities!
