List of the wettest tropical cyclones by country

The French region of Réunion holds several world records for tropical cyclone and worldwide rainfall, due to the rough topography and its location in the Indian Ocean.

[76] Hurricane Flora of October 1963 drifted across Cuba for four days, leading to extreme rainfall across the mountainous island country.

[94] As Hurricane Jeanne moved through the region, 422.3 millimetres (16.63 in) of rain fell during the 24‑hour period ending on the morning of September 15, 2004.

Orography from the volcanic islands of Fiji has led to significant rainfall during tropical cyclone passages, which occur roughly once a year.

In Kupang in West Timor, the system destroyed hundreds of homes and large fields of corn, bean, and rice crop.

[198] This mountainous island country of Jamaica can get lashed with rainfall by slow-moving tropical cyclones in the western Caribbean Sea.

[204] The mountainous island archipelago is constantly struck by typhoons recurving out of the tropics, which are normally in extratropical transition as they pass through Japan.

Tropical cyclones which impact southern China also lead to, on average, five heavy rainfall events per year across the Korean peninsula.

[244] Hurricane Wilma of 2005 drifted over the northeast portion of the Yucatán peninsula for a couple of days, dropping significant rains.
