lol.. not looking at the right parts.

But umm, North America is quite large. Do you mean just in the US?

Alaska. Might even make it for all of NA, too.

In Yukatat, AK.. the average rainfall a year over the last 30 years has been 151.25".

Another high one is Hilo, HI with 129.19".

There are plenty of places in Oregon and Washington that also recieve well over 100" of rain a year.

Western United States Average Annual Precipitation.

Parts of California also recieve 100"+.

The most days when it rains, or the most accumulation? Because there's a big difference. It rains many days in Washington, but we're no where near the highest accumulation.
