Ua)r So !
SOEMWHERE ON EARTH it is
raining pitchforks this instant.
That is because thunderstorms
average 45.000 each day; that's
over 1,800 every hour!
Year in and year out, the great
est downpour is concentrated 'tp n
a small 5,000-foot-tugh spot in
Hawaii, cloud-drencheu Mi. mSu
leale, where the 20-year average
has been 460 inches yearly. Sur
prisingly, on climbing the moun
tains shoulder, I found that despite
the fearful downpour, the sloping
area is boggy. You'd think every
living plant would have been
washed away!
On the southern slopes of the
Himalayas, at Cherrapunji, As
sam, India, a 20-year average of
426 inches has been recorded run
ning Hawai's 460 inches a close
second. (After all, in such down
pours what's a mere 34-inch dif
Xerence?) Of this, 90 per cent falls
within 6 months, during the mon
soon. Yet, just a short distance
away on the northern slope it is
arid with a rainfall of less than
10 inches!
TOTAL RAINFALL for the con
tinents, which comprise V of the
globe's surface, varies. North
America's average of 23.7 inches
is low (with the heaviest alons
our northwestern seaboard). South
America averages over twice as
much, with 53.1 inches (of which
the heaviest is along the great
Amazon valley); Africa, 28 inches
(of which the west coast near the
equator takes the brunt); Asia has
25.4 inches (of which the East
Indies has the heaviest with the
island of Java averaging 233
thunderstorm days every year
the earth's hiphest. Europe has
24.3 inches; and Australia (with
Tasmania) averages only 18 inch
es. Our North American rainfall of
23.7 inches varies tremdendously,
with less than 2 inches a year
in parts of the southwest deserts
to more than 80 inches in trie tip
of Florida, the Mississippi delta
and the southern Appalachians,
and more than 115 inches in coast
al Washington and Oregon (138
inches).
In the central part of North
America more than half of the
year's supply falls during the
growing season, while along the
Pacific Coast the distribution is
reversed with most of the rain
falling in the winter at the time
of lowest needs. Perhaps the most
uniform distribution year in and
year out is in Wisconsin (36 inch
es) and Michigan (31 i-nches).
THE HIGHEST RAINFALL ever
recorded for a year was at As
sam, India, with 805 incnes.
