The driest place on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile, where it can go for years without rainfall. The place with the highest average annual rainfall is the village of Mawsynram in northeastern India with 12000mm of rain (that's about 472 inches per year, Portland's average is 36 inches)! Raindrops can move at speeds up to 20 miles per hour! Snowflakes can have up to 200 sides! Petrichor is the earthy smell of rain after a long period of dryness, so yes - you can smell rain
