Kikori is a small town in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea.

This area is particularly biologically rich with a diversity of ecosystems and densely forested, with an intricate system of rivers.

Kikori has a tropical rainforest climate (Köppen Af) with very heavy rainfall year-round.

The town has an average annual rainfall of around 5,700 millimetres or 220 inches,[3] making it and surrounding Gulf Province one of the wettest lowland places on Earth – comparable to the Chocó of Colombia, the exposed monsoonal coasts of Myanmar, the Caribbean Coast of Central America, and the Alaska Panhandle.

Rainfall averages at least 250 millimetres or 10 inches during every month of the year, but orographic lifting of the southeast trade winds between May and September creates a rainfall peak in those months which average over 550 millimetres or 20 inches – twice as much as the least wet months of November and December and a striking contrast to the rainlessness of those same trade winds in relatively nearby Northern Australia.
