CfaHumid subtropicalBuilt from 30 years of typical weather (1991-2020). The list is drawn from a curated set of about 300 well-known travel destinations so the ranking reads as recognisable places — you can find any other city through the full directory or the search above. Cities that get less than 50 inches of rain a year are dropped — the list is meant to be genuinely wet places.
