About: Countries by Average Annual Rainfall
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by average annual precipitation in millimetres per year according to World Bank Climate Data and FAO AQUASTAT. Colombia and Papua New Guinea receive among the highest average annual rainfall of any large countries — with some regions of Colombia recording over 10,000 mm per year, driven by the unique combination of Pacific moisture, Amazon basin humidity, and the Andes mountain range forcing air masses upward into precipitation at extraordinary rates.
