Every time it rains we wonder if it will ever stop and it always does and we see that rainbow in the sky. Sometimes there are also some floods before the rain stops. Silver Hill, Jamaica holds the modern-era record for the most rainfall at one time. They were about 96 1/2 inches in 4 days. The Caribbean seems to flood every year during hurricane season.
During the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season, the Grand Cayman Islands got 28 inches of rain in the season’s first named storm and that happened in just 12 hours with Tropical Storm Alberto, the remnants of which caused the worst flooding of 2006 in Carolina. South and again in the Northeast US Although this is nothing compared to Grand Cayman’s 28 inches in 12 hours or Jamaica’s 96 inches, which broke the record. The all-time record in the United States of America is very high at 42 inches in 24 hours, but still nothing compared to 96 inches.
The Philippines is also a great place for flooding and records 73.6 inches in 24 hours. Every year during typhoon season, the Philippines experiences severe flooding, mudslides, and torrential rains. They can also experience a lot of severe flooding and rain at other times of the year. So next time it’s pouring with rain, be thankful that you’re not setting any records where you are. Consider this in 2006.
