I don’t actually know which city you’re in, so I can’t give a precise local number. The best I can do is show examples of typical annual rainfall for some major cities so you can compare.

Quick Scoop

Here are average annual precipitation values for a few well‑known cities (rain plus melted snow):

  • New York City: about 46.6 inches per year, with long‑term values ranging from roughly 42.8 inches at JFK Airport to 49.9 inches in Central Park.
  • Atlanta, Georgia: about 50.4 inches per year.
  • Seattle, Washington: about 39.3 inches per year.
  • Miami, Florida: about 67.4 inches per year.
  • Denver, Colorado: about 15.4 inches per year.

These numbers are climatological averages over many years, typically based on records from national meteorological agencies (for example, NOAA climate normals in the United States).

How to get your city’s exact value

To find the average annual rainfall in your city specifically, you can:

  1. Check your national meteorological service (for example, a government weather or climate data site).
  2. Search for “climate normals” or “average annual precipitation” plus your city’s name.
  3. Look for values quoted in either inches or millimetres per year; both units are common.

As a rough interpretation, if your city is coastal and humid, its annual rainfall may resemble New York or Atlanta, while inland or semi‑arid cities often look more like Denver, with much lower totals.
