The largest city of Philipines in terms od population , Quezon city has an annual rainfall of 2408mm...
If u take populations above 1 million.. I think Mumbai and Quezon city should be one of the wettest in the world.....
Kuching, Malaysia - Pop: 1.1 Million Rainfall: 4200 mm
Freetown, Sierra Leone - Pop: 1.2 Million, Rainfall - 3400 mm
Belem, Brazil - Pop: 1.4 Million, Rainfall - 2400 mm
