Kaua`i: In the center of the island is Kawaikini Peak, rising 5,170 feet and Mount Waialeale, rising 5,080 feet. Mount Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 460 inches of rain a year, and contributing to this island's nickname; the Garden Island.

Though Mt. Waialeale is believed to have maximum rain, it rains maximum in Mawsynram, Meghalaya, India. Since, it does not have a meteorological department, Cherrapunji is reported as wettest place on the Earth, with a whopping average of 1270 centimeters, or 496 inches of rain (over 41 feet).

"Southern part of the US" covers both the humid and swampy South that gets a couple of hurricanes a year, and the desert "Southwest".

There's a joke told about the Southwest; a rancher in west Texas was talking about rain. The rancher said "You remember the story in The Bible about the Flood, where it rained for forty days and forty nights? Yeah, we got about 3 inches out of that."

The northern US has its own areas of heavy rain in the northeast and the "grain belt" of the midwest, and the desert Badlands of the Dakotas, and the wet areas of Washington and Oregon.

I don't think that there's a whole lot of difference between "north" and "south".
