Some areas wait for downpour for a long time than others, while rain continues to happen intermittently in many locations.
But do you know there is a city which has been called the driest site because almost 0.761mm of rainfall happens there annually.
The city is in Chile named Arica and in many of its areas, there has not been any rain for centuries.
Many geographical as well as meteorological reasons explain it. The most important cause is the location of the city. The Western winds push the moisture to the mountains nearby.
Also due to the Pacific ocean, the wind is extremely dry in the area.
