In general, places don't get much wetter than Louisiana. Much of the state is wetlands, and warm, humid air regularly blows in from the Gulf of Mexico, often bringing thunderstorms. And, most notably, the Mississippi River Basin carries water from 31 states and 2 Canadian provinces through Louisiana.
However, over the past few years the state has been much drier than usual; Louisiana has been cycling in and out of drought since 2020.
