In view of the recent Texas flood tragedy, and some outlandish climate change claims, I thought I would post this list copied off the back of “The Daily Weather Map” for my 1958 Reseda High School physics term project about weather. That project ended with this table of world record rainfalls over various durations. It seems there were plenty or rainfall “extremes” for almost a hundred years preceding 1958. Some are pretty amazing. Note those that had occurred in the USA for some perspective.
