The most unloved autumn phenomenon is raining! 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 remained on the streets, then this city would turn into a huge pool in a short time.
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. There is also a very unpleasant natural phenomenon - nascent deaths in the sea. 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!
Let's look at what temperature records In the world and the places where they were fixed. In other words, this selection of 10 the hottest and cold places of the earth.
First, I suggest to consider the coldest. These places for the general opinion are the most cold on earth. Brrr - I would not want to live there (:
- Antarctica. Station East.
It belongs to this station, as you probably have already guessed, Russian. It was here that was fixed the coldest temperature. The significant date is July 21, 1983, then there was a lutty frost, and the bit of the thermometer showed record of our planet -89,2 ° C. And now a little more specifically about this place: the height above the sea level is 3.5 kilometers, the station is located in the area of \u200b\u200bone of the largest lakes of the world: the same lake East. Naturally, the lake is not on the surface, it is under ice at a depth of 4 kilometers.
- Canada. Station Eureka.
This research station is often called the coldest settlement in the world. -20 ° C - the average annual air temperature, and in winter T is usually lowered to -40 ° C. This station is conceived as meteorological and was created in the middle of the last century.
- Russia. Yakutia. Oymyakon.
Well, this place is already in the north: 350 km from the northern polar circle south. Here was fixed reference the lowest temperature for the northern hemisphere -71.2 ° С (1926). What confirms the memorial board installed after this event.
- USA. Denali (Mac-Kingley Mountain).
This is the highest point of North America. Mac-Kingley Mountain - the coldest on EarthHer height is 6 194 meters.
- Mongolia. Ulan Bator.
And this is already The coldest capital. Height above sea level is 1.3 kilometers. The thermometer very rarely shows the temperature above -16 ° C in January.
Well, we have visited the most "ice" places. Personally, I wanted to immediately drink a cup of hot coffee or tea, but it's not necessary to do it at all, because then we will go with you into the hottest countries. Well, let's continue!
So, the hottest places in the world.
- Libya. El Azizia.
El Azizya is just an hour away from the Mediterranean Sea. And despite this is very hot there. For example, on September 13, 1922, such sultry days were stood that the thermometer column tirelessly showed a mark of 57.8 ° C.
- Africa. Ethiopia. Dallol.
The location is below sea level 116 meters. And it is in Dallol that is observed. record high average air temperature +34,4 ° C. The terrain is covered with salt and by nature is volcanic, so that nothing grows here and there is nothing alive.
- Libya. Dashty-Lut desert.
It is in this desert that fixed the highest temperature on the surface of the earth +70 ° C. Here it is a record !! Here is the maximum temperature !! By the way about the date: fix this temperature here were able to 2 times: in 2004 and in 2005. This desert is one of the most arid planet places. There is also nothing alive here, including even bacteria. Imagine: even bacteria will not survive there! But the dunes there like in a fairy tale: reach a mark of 500 meters in height and are the most beautiful!
- USA. California. Death Valley.
This desert belongs to the second record at the highest temperature: +56.7 ° C. The average summer temperature here is approximately +47 ° C. Death Valley is the most dry place in the USA, it is surrounded by mountains and is located 86 meters below sea level.
- Taillid. Bangkok.
The average annual temperature in this city is +28 ° C. The most hot here from March to May - the average temperature in these months + 34 ° C, and if you also consider that the humidity is 90%, then this is generally (in vain I drank a cup of hot coffee all Taki (\u003d).
Let's summarize. We visited amazing places: it was in them were fixed temperature records, the lowest and highest. Personally, I realized for myself: no extremes need; And it turns out that it is quite suitable for the climate of the place where I live, here it happens and cold and hot, but compared to the places listed above, in moderation.
Many people think that the most rainy place in the world is London. This is not true. In fact, England is not the most rainy country, even in Europe. For comparison, the annual rate of precipitation in Moscow is 691 millimeters, in London - 599 mm. Below is a list of ten riny places on Earth, but several regions apply to the title itself, due to the different data of different meteorological services.

To the question of where the wet place is located on Earth, the clever people can answer that in the Mariana Wpadin.
Yes, in the western part of the Pacific Ocean, in the deepest place of our planet, where over a head of more than 10,000 meters of water strata, really wet. But if we are discussing the most raw place of the planet on land, the answer may be more difficult, the correspondent notes.
Currently, the Guinness Book of Records gives the palm of the championship to the village of Mosinram in India. Moisture, bringing from the Bengal Bay, from the North-East of the Indian Ocean, is going to the plateau at an altitude of more than 1491 m, in the eastern mountains of Khasi, from where the plains of Bangladesh are visible.
The consequence of such condensation becomes an amazing imagination average of precipitation per year - more than 11871 mm. The highest monument in the world, the 30-meter statue of Christ of the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro would be knee-deep in water at rains.
It is not surprising that in this region - magnificent vegetation, many waterfalls and bizarre caves, painted with water in limestones.
Right holder illustration Daniel J. Rao AlamyA little more than 10 km to the east on the slopes of the Assembian mountains there is a town of Cherrypundy, a traditionally referred to as local residents, which is known as the second is the most rainy place on the planet.
It is inferior to Mosinrama on the average annual rainy of only 100 mm, but he has enough other titles and records. It was here that the rainy month and the most rainy year in the history of observations were guided.
In July 1861, the precipitation here was 9300 mm. Since August last year, Cherrypundy holds a record for a national amount of precipitation - 26470 mm.
Both of these extremely rainy settlements are located in Meghalaya, the name of which is translated as the abode of the clouds.
Right holder illustration Getty. Image Caption. Life in the rain, which almost never stops ...Locals always have unusual huge woven umbrellas, called "KNUPS" with themselves.
They close the whole body from the shower, allowing owners to deal with daily affairs, mainly - to repair roads and buildings destroyed by rain. Or go for meals.
Farming in the region is impossible due to heavy rains, so products delivered from less rainy places are sold in covered markets under water-winding canopies.
Right holder illustration Getty. Image Caption. This is what Mosinarians look like. Immiguous spectacle ...Another significant problem is to maintain the health of bridges in wet tropical jungle, where traditional building materials rotate very quickly. Local residents found a brilliant solution - to associate the thin roots of trees with each other. The bridge consists of a bamboo frame, which is tied with roots of rubber trees.
After 6-8 years, Bamboo rotches, and remains a "alive bridge" from the roots, which are already able to withstand human weight. Over time, such a structure is only strengthened and withstands bad weather.
Indian rubber trees ( Ficus. Elastica.) they are distinguished by strong flexible secondary roots, growing from the tree trunk.
Locals reckoned through the streams and rivers, the extended trunks of the Bethel palm trees using them as guide supports for thin rubber roots.
Right holder illustration National Geographic Image Collection AlamyAs soon as the roots are reached to the soil on the other side, they begin to fit and strengthen.
It takes about ten years to create a live bridge, but then such structures can serve as centuries. About the oldest bridge in the region is known that he is more than 500 years old.
Although settlements in the mountains of Khashi hold the historical record on rainy, recently put forward assumptions that the most rainy place in the world can be at all there.
There are two main applicants, both both in Colombia. However, it is technically impossible to compare with Indian champions.
Lloreo is a city in North-West Columbia, in the province of Choco. On the farm near the city of Registered average annual precipitations for the period between 1952 and 1954 amounted to 13,473 mm.
This is much higher than in Mosinrame, but the measurements were made with the help of obsolete devices and therefore cannot claim an officially recognized record.
Right holder illustration Christian Werthenbach AlamyThe historian of Meteorology Christopher S. Bert argues that another city, who's on the other side of the Andes, could also boast of record sediments.
"In fact, the most raw place on Earth is Puerto Lopez in Colombia, where 12892 mm of precipitation falls per year," he says.
But Bert notes that, despite the constant registering of precipitation for 50 years in the area, there is not enough data from several months in the middle of this period.
This means that the data on precipitation in Puerto Lopez is considered interrupted and cannot be compared with other areas of world, which have 30 years of continuous registration.
"Despite this, because the registration of data is underway and there are so many years without missing information, I can confidently say that in Puerto Lopez usually falls more precipitation on average per year than in Mosinrame," said Bert.
In this Colombian city of Russo all year round, due to its location in the foothills of the North Andes, stretching along the western coast of the country.
"Here, a tropical moisture from the Pacific Ocean is constantly entered into the surround zone ... Mountains block the path of this flow, and as a result, rains are almost constant over Puerto Lopez. I think that it rains on average 320 days a year. The course of the year, "explains Bert.
Regarding the average value of the drop-down precipitation and the likelihood of getting into the rain the opinions are diverged. For example, you are successfully promoted in Mosinrame, but even more likely the likelihood that from Puerto Lopez you will leave in the quilting boots.
Until recently, the reign of the rainy two-day period belonged to the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, where a tropical cyclone swept. The question arose: Is Reunion with a sole champion in such a single meteorological phenomenon?
Right holder illustration Hemis alamy Image Caption. Island Reunion. Day without rainIn the spring of 2014, a group of experts of the World Meteorological Organization came to the conclusion that a two-day record on rainy weather belongs to Cherrypundy, where the stunning data on precipitation was recorded on June 15-16, 1995 - 2493 mm.
It returns us to Meghalaya, who has earned its reputation as a rainy region due to the legendary monsoon. This is the prevailing seasonal rose of winds, annually bringing extreme precipitations in the form of rains in South and Southeast Asia.
Because of the monsoons, almost 90% of record annual precipitation of Mosinrama may fall out within six months, from May to October. The rainy month is July with its record 3500 mm.
But in the arid winter months from December to February, very little rain falls.
And when the locals are tested by the lack of drinking water, the title of the wet place on Earth sounds like a mockery paradox.
