As a fun data point, the capital of Sierra Leone gets more rainfall in a single month than the PNW gets in an entire year.
I was there in the rainy season, it rained harder than I ever imagined possible for ten hours a day, every day.

I wound up finding mould on my clothes, on my fridge, inside my Jeep, etc. etc. It was extremely hard, so after a month I drove north into Mali where the rainy season was basically over :)
I saw rain staggeringly heavy more times than I can count on the West Coast of Africa - it was truly incredible. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I ever got it on film.
