The Home of Twilight: 4 of the Wettest Cities in the United States
At Rainwriter, we supply a variety of waterproof Rite in the Rain products, ranging from notebooks to pens and pencils. Naturally, we are interested in where our products could be the most beneficial! For that reason, we’ve compiled a list of some of the wettest cities in the United States. So grab your rain poncho and let’s check them out!
Portland, Oregon
Average Rainfall: 43
inches
Average Number of
Rainy Days: 154
Portland residents are more than familiar with rainy days.
In fact, they spend about 42% of the year hiding under umbrellas and wearing
rain boots (figuratively speaking, of course). The number of rainy days in Portland seems to be growing with
each year, and in 2012 they experienced an impressive 50 inches of rain!
Needless to say, Portland residents could benefit from Rite in the Rain
products and a good cup of hot coffee.

Seattle has earned quite the reputation for their wet
weather. Surprisingly, they aren’t even close to being the wettest city in the
country! That doesn’t change the fact, however, that they encounter heavy
precipitation each year.
So, why is Seattle associated so strongly with rain? We are
guessing because it’s the birthplace of Starbucks
Coffee! Who doesn’t enjoy a hot caramel macchiato on a cold, dreary day?
One thing is for sure, Seattle residents could certainly benefit from Rite in
the Rain products from Rainwriter.
Forks, Washington
Average Rainfall: 99
inches
Average Number of
Rainy Days: 206

The population of Forks is small, with only 3,500 residents,
but the town attracts a substantial number of tourists. If you would like to
see where Edward, Jacob and Bella fictionally lived, then grab your Rite in the
Rain gear and check out Forks.
Average Rainfall: 67
inches
Average Number of
Rainy Days: 54
Mobile, Alabama has earned the title of the “wettest
city in the United States,” not because of the number of rainy days, but
because of the sheer concentration. They experience heavy rain in about half
the time, compared to places like Portland and Seattle. Those who work outside
could definitely benefit from Rainwriter’s Rite in the Rain products,
considering they never know when a storm might hit!
