A report from Redfin reveals that Florida, known as the Sunshine State, is home to the two rainiest cities in the United States: Fort Lauderdale and Miami, each receiving about 68 inches of rain annually. Notably, while Florida's rainy season is characterized by intense, short storms, its winters are typically dry. Cities like West Palm Beach and Tallahassee also rank high in annual precipitation. Interestingly, the report shows that cities in the South dominate rainfall totals, while northern cities experience more frequent rainy days, with Syracuse, NY, leading in this category. This weather pattern links to regional geography, affecting housing prices as well.
In researching rainfall, the report reveals that Florida's reputation as 'The Sunshine State' doesn't align with its rainiest cities, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
While Florida is seen primarily as a sun-soaked haven for snowbirds, the reality is that it is home to two of the nation’s rainiest cities.
Although rainier than expected, Florida’s rainy conditions often come in brief bursts during summer and fall, keeping winters relatively dry and sunny.
Syracuse, NY, is the wettest U.S. city by total days of precipitation each year, contradicting common perceptions about rainy places like Seattle.
