Portland 42nd In Nation For Rainfall

According to a 2007 study on rainfall, Portland is no where near the top of rainiest places in the country.  In fact, with 36.4" it's just a couple of inches over the US average (34.5").

Our reward for this spot?  A lush green place to live and just enough rain to enjoy a fresh, clean storm while biking around town, sitting over a hot latte with Cellar Door roast in a cafe or curled up on the sofa.

See the study here.

It turns out Mobile, Alabama takes first prize with almost twice as much rain as Portland (66.9"!).
