Most I've experienced personally: 6.14 inches, overnight August 21-22, 2017. Some locations south of me reported up to 10 inches in that storm. August 2017 became the wettest August on record here almost by that storm alone.

Spring and Fall typically wettest seasons around here. Spring mostly wins if you leave Tropical connections out

1. Where do you get these tables?
2. Can you get one for Kansas City?

1. Here: SERCC NOAA NOWData

2. Here you go.. Choose the location that says "area", that will include all the moves in the past instead of current location.




Sort by Annual column and whalah. 8.82" is the 1 day extreme there. (Midnight to Midnight, not 24hrs).

Looks like August and September have the Top 4 spots.
Interesting to see November 1928 as the 5th most. November? Maybe Tropical storm? Slow moving Front with Blocking around?

Thank you!

This is an archive - the November 16, 1928 issue of the Atchison, Kansas daily newspaper, a town not far northwest of Kansas City. https://newspaperarchive.com/atchiso...v-16-1928-p-1/

It seems to have been just steady rain over much of Kansas and Missouri rather than thunderstorms. It definitely wasn't anything tropical in nature, as can be seen here.

Just over 155mm (i.e. just over 6"). However I was once driving on a highway through the rainforest on our West Coast in torrential rain - an upland site not many km away recorded 758mm (almost 30") in 24 hours, a total which would be hard to beat amongst temperate zone climates.
