What is the wettest place you have ever been to?

I drove my 2 kids (maybe 11 and 4?) 300 miles to the wonderful Lake District for a few days one August. It rained heavily every day. We told the 4y o they emptied each lake every night and filled it up again in the morning. West Country rain is something special, but that trip was definitely the worst.

West of Ireland....it never stops raining there!

Clearwater FL - hurricane. And another Malaga victim here!

Worst rain ever was in St Lucia some years back when we were caught in a hurricane and had to stay longer than expected as no flights in or out. No real hardship as we were at a Sandals resort. Nearer home I would also say north Wales where every visit means a waterproof coat and boots. We used to go there most half terms with the kids to Portmadog but it was good fun. You make it work.

Houston by a mile. We weren't there long but when it rained, it really was like walking through sheets of water.

Gota Fria on the motorway in Spain near Cartagena well it changed from road to roaring river in minutes..

Experienced the same on autoroute around Lyons. Very scary and nobody slowed down.
I recall playing Lady in Red on repeat on cassette. That dates it!

Reply to Casdon.

Late September on a trip to Bilbao last year.

We sat in the main Cathedral and waited out the storm.

Hilo on Big Island, Hawaii.
It rains there at 4pm every day.
Strangely enough, Kona (where the coffee comes from) is on the other side of the same island and has a beautiful dry climate.

I caught a programme last evening with Timothy Spall in a boat on a Scottish canal, he mentioned that the area he was in has 10ft of rainfall per year , that must be a record and glad I dont live there!

1. A bit unexpected. Taormina, Sicily. Arrived in blinding, biblical, torrents of rain - the type that soaks through to your socks in less than a minute. The hotel guy said "I suppose this is normal in the UK". Er no!
2. Singapore as a child. Our hair was permanently Shirley Temple-d.
3. Ireland - more of a constant drizzle than a torrent but the beauty shone through - making up for the sun.

India in monsoon season. I loved it but I was only young and didn’t appreciated how awful it could be. Loved India.

Rhyl. And the Black Forest.

Valletta, Malta. Had just left Fort St Elmo when the heavens opened and the roads were like rivers. Never seen rain like it so looked for shelter in a cafe as even our underwear was sodden. The nearest cafe was closed, the 2nd was already full and the one we ended up in was so rammed with dripping wet people that you could actually see the steam coming off them.

Oh Cornergran, I identified with that totally, so why oh why did we go and live there for eight years. I hated all my wet weather gear and now I live in a sunny clime where every day I get dressed up and my wax jacket went in the bin and I vowed never to go there ever again. Ever.

The Lake District. Without a doubt.

Cumbria.

Sedbergh in Cumbria. Maybe it needs to share the secret of it's success with the South East which I believe has been declared a drought area. Surely not? We've had a fair amount of rain since the heatwaves broke.

A few years ago, there was a list of the twenty wettest resorts in the UK. Not surprisingly, five of the top six were in Scotland with the sixth being in Northern Ireland. The seventh was in St. Bees on the Cumbrian coast, which is where my father came from. I knew it would be fairly high on the list but, even so, I was surprised that it beat all the Welsh resorts.

Singapore where it rained non stop for three days on our stop over . Going again in two weeks 🤞

Singapore during the monsoon season. You could hire rickshaws when it stopped just to take you across deep puddles in the road.

We went to cyprus a couple of weeks before christmas a few years ago, lovely weather, and then 3 days in they had the most torrential rain that it was flooding, lady in shop (i had to buy youngest son wellies) said it was the first rain they'd had in 2years! It could only happen to us!

The first year we got our dog we didn't want to put her in a kennels so we decided to holiday in Norfolk for a week and take her with us. It literally rained every single minute of the week we spent there. And I don't mean light rain - it was coming down in stair rods! The only time we saw a bit of blue sky was when we were packing up to come home!

So true!
