Have you ever wondered what the wettest cities or places on earth are? You probably have asked this question if you don’t like too much rain or if you would like to see more rain. The list below shows the wettest (most rainy) cities so we can all avoid them. While writing this post,  I couldn’t help but notice that the top rainy cities in the world also come with the most abnormal and exotic names. Why? I don’t know!
