List of the wettest tropical cyclones by country explained
This is a list of wettest tropical cyclones by country, using all known available sources. Data is most complete for Australia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Hong Kong, Mexico, Taiwan, Micronesia's Yap and Chuuk, and the United States, with fragmentary data available for other countries. The French region of Réunion holds several world records for tropical cyclone and worldwide rainfall, due to the rough topography and its location in the Indian Ocean.[1]
Antigua and Barbuda
Australia
Christmas Island
Christmas Island is an Australian territory located in the Indian Ocean located at the summit of a submarine mountain, which rises steeply to a central plateau that is dominated by stands of rainforest.[2] After rainfall and wind observations started on the island during 1972, only 13 tropical cyclones passed within 220round=5NaNround=5 of the territory between 1972 and 2005.[2]

Cocos Islands
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands are an Australian territory of 27 coral islands that are formed into two large coral atolls and cover an area of around 14order=flipNaNorder=flip of the Indian Ocean to the northwest of Perth, Australia. Rainfall observations started on the islands during 1907, while temperature, wind and other records started in 1952.[2] Between 1952 and 2005 27 tropical cyclones caused storm force wind gusts of over 90round=5NaNround=5 on the islands, while only four caused hurricane-force gusts of over 125round=5NaNround=5.[2]

Bahamas
Bangladesh
Bangladesh has been the scene of the greatest tropical cyclone casualties in recent times. The country is quite flat and generally lies near sea level.
Belize
This country has terrain mainly across its southern sections, with elevations up to about 3700feet.[21] The highest reported rainfall in what was formerly British Honduras occurred during Hurricane Keith in 2000 when 32.67inches of rain fell in a 24‑hour period at Phillip Goodson International Airport in Belize City.[22] Equally heavy rains could have fallen during Hurricane Hattie of 1961 and Hurricane Fifi of 1974.
Cambodia
Canada
Tropical cyclones are usually in transition to extratropical cyclones by the time they reach Atlantic Canada, though occasionally they retain their tropical status. No tropical cyclone has ever hit Canada's Pacific coast.
China
See also: China tropical cyclone rainfall climatology. China is a mountainous country, which leads to rapid dissipation of cyclones that move inland as well as significant amounts of rain from those dissipating cyclones. Typhoon Nina (1975) caused the collapse of two huge reservoirs and ten smaller dams when 1062mm fell in Henan during a 24‑hour period, which is the record for Mainland China. Typhoon Sam of the 1999 Pacific typhoon season became the wettest known tropical cyclone to impact Hong Kong since records began in 1884, breaking a 73‑year‑old record.[23] Precipitation associated with tropical cyclones and their remains can bring snow to Tibet. An early October 2004 tropical depression brought daily precipitation of 6cm (02inches) of liquid equivalent precipitation to Che-Ku county in the form of heavy snow, which was a new October daily precipitation record for both rain and snow. This led to a loss of 340,000 kg of food, 230,000 kg of forage grass, and 263 livestock in the snowstorm.[24]

Cuba
Hurricane Flora of October 1963 drifted across Cuba for four days, leading to extreme rainfall across the mountainous island country. During the heaviest 24‑hour period of rainfall, 735mm of rain fell at Santiago de Cuba. Total amounts of 2033mm over 4 days and 2550mm over 5 days produced staggering loss of life in Cuba, where over 2000 perished.[32]
Dominica
The islands of the eastern Caribbean are constantly threatened by tropical storms and hurricanes, mainly between August and October. Dominica is a rugged island, with spots of elevation as high as nearly 4750feet.[33] As Hurricane Jeanne moved through the region, 422.3mm of rain fell during the 24‑hour period ending on the morning of September 15, 2004.
Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic, has some of the highest terrain surrounding the Caribbean Sea, with Pico Duarte peaking at 10700feet above sea level.[34] Most of the tropical cyclone rainfall totals on the list below are 24‑hour maxima, which likely underrepresent the storm total.

France
French Polynesia
Guadeloupe
Hurricane Marilyn moved directly across the island in mid-September 1995,[40] bringing the highest known rainfall totals to the island from a tropical cyclone.
Martinique
Martinique is a mountainous island at the fringe of the eastern Caribbean Sea.
New Caledonia
Réunion Island
The mountainous island of Réunion has experienced several of the highest rainfall totals on record from tropical cyclones and holds the rainfall world records for 12, 24, 48, 72 hours, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and ten days as a result.[41] [42] [43] The 12 and 24 hourly rainfall records were set at Foc-Foc by Cyclone Denise in 1966, while an Unnamed Tropical Cyclone between April 8–10, 1958 set the record for 48 hours at Aurere. Tropical Cyclone Gamede between February 24–28, 2007 came close to beating the records for 12, 24 and 48 hours before setting the records for three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine days that were held by Tropical Cyclone Hyacinthe 1980.[42] [43] Hyacinthe 1980 currently holds the world records for ten and fifteen days with rainfall totals of 5678mm and 6083mm respectively recorded at Commerson Crater.[43] [44]

India
India can be struck by cyclones that form in the Bay of Bengal or the Arabian Sea.
Indonesia
The precursor tropical disturbance of Tropical Cyclone Inigo in April 2003 dropped heavy rainfall in eastern Indonesia. The rainfall caused flash flooding and mudslides, primarily in Flores but also on West Timor[65] and Sumba.[66] In some locations, the depth of the floodwaters reached 5m (16feet). The Oessao River in West Timor exceeded its banks, which flooded seven villages. In Kupang in West Timor, the system destroyed hundreds of homes and large fields of corn, bean, and rice crop. Heavy damage was reported near Ende, where flooding and mudslides destroyed 20 houses and destroyed the roads connecting to East Flores. The city airport was flooded with one meter (3 ft) of water, preventing aerial transportation and which left the city temporarily isolated. In East Flores Regency in eastern Flores Island, the system left 75 destroyed houses, along with 77 severely damaged and a further 56 receiving light damage.[65]

Japan
The mountainous island archipelago is constantly struck by typhoons recurving out of the tropics, which are normally in extratropical transition as they pass through Japan. Typhoon Namtheun of the 2004 Pacific typhoon season holds the national 24-hour precipitation record with 1317mm observed in Kisawa village, surpassing the previous record of 1140mm set during Typhoon Fran in 1976.
Okinawa
Ryukyu Islands

In 1972, Typhoon Rita dumped 31.87inches on Okinoerabu Shima.[74]
Johnston Atoll
Tropical cyclones occasionally threaten this central Pacific island. Hurricane Celeste of 1972 brought 6.21inches to the isle around August 19.[75]
Korea
The Korean Peninsula experiences typhoons regularly. Tropical cyclones which impact southern China also lead to, on average, five heavy rainfall events per year across the Korean peninsula.[76]
North Korea
Very heavy rains fell across Tongchon and Kosong counties during Typhoon Rusa in 2002, where up to 510mm of precipitation fell in a 5- to 10-hour period.[72]

Mexico
See main article: Mexico tropical cyclone rainfall climatology. Hurricane Wilma of 2005 drifted over the northeast portion of the Yucatán peninsula for a couple of days, dropping significant rains. A report of 1576mm was reported by the Servicio Meteorológico Nacional in Mexico,[94] which is the wettest known 24-hour rainfall amount ever measured in Mexico. Second on the list is from Tropical Storm Frances in 1998, which accumulated up to 1019mm of rain at Independencia in southern Chiapas.[95] Below is a list of the highest known storm total rainfall amounts from individual tropical cyclones across Mexico. Most of the rainfall information was provided by the Mexico's National Weather Service, Servicio Meteorológico Nacional, which is a part of the National Water Commission, Comisión Nacional del Agua.
