About Lloró

Lloró

Lloró is a municipality and town in the Chocó Department, Colombia. It claims the second world record for highest average annual precipitation with 12,717 mm (501 in), after López de Micay, which holds an also disputed record with 12,892.4 mm (508 in). The official record is held by Mawsynram, India. The rainfall data was measured in its Agricultural Farm, managed by the University of Bogotá, between 1952 and 1989. If accurate, that would make it the wettest place in the world. Although “lloró” is the 3rd person singular preterite tense of the Spanish verb “llorar” which may colloquially be compared to rain, this similarity is merely incidental; the town is named for Gioró, a pre-Columbian indigenous chief.
