As a New Yorker who lived in London for a bit, I noticed the rain in England tended to be much lighter and more like a mist, coming at random times with clouds usually present. In the states there tends to be very heavy pouring rain balanced with extremely bright sunny days so it doesn’t feel gloomy as often even if we get the same inches of rain falling per year

I think we tend, VERY GENERALLY, to get more downpours here in the US as opposed to more gentle, longer lasting rainfall in the Britain. My brother lived in England for a couple years and that was his assessment. Of course there are definitely areas in the US that often get more gentle, steady rain.

The core difference to tell isn't actually per annual rainfall, but number of sunny days per annual. There's many places that have reputations for being "rainy" (England, Seattle) but that's because they have very frequent light rains, meanwhile the US South and such have more sunny days per annual, but when it rains, as the saying goes, it POURS. A single storm in the south can drop 4 to 6 inches of rain in an afternoon, but the rest of the time be bright and sunny. Meanwhile in the same week in England you might get no sunny days and each day a light misting of .5 inch of rain... which makes it seem like it's "rainier" in England, but only 3.5 inches of water actually fell.

The nice thing about being in the south now is the rains come in hard and fast, but then they move on and often times the rest of the day is sunny and nice. But other areas of the country where it rains hard it also rains for long periods of times and that can make it hard to enjoy the outside and a bit wearing on mental health. So while it may rain more in certain areas, I think it depends on how it rains.

I believe the UK has more days with just drizzle, not amounting to that much accumulation. The southeast gets, on average, heavier rainfall when it does rain. So they have more sunny days and higher annual rainfall. I know that in Tampa, Florida, for example, from May through August most days, it would rain for only a half to a full hour in the early afternoon and be sunny the rest of it. But during that brief period of rain, it can drop up to two inches of rainfall. That is some very heavy rainfall, the likes that most brits have never seen.

I lived in FL, and left that for NC. In the corner of FL I escaped, rain was more aggressive/heavy. Hurricane seasons contributes a huge chunk, but a 30-90 minute monsoon was totes normal. But our 55 inches came down fairly quickly, so there was also plenty of sunshine.
Here in (Raleigh) NC, rainfall is closer to how you describe Britain. So many all-day drizzles, (this week has 2 or 3 of those) but we do get the occasional proper storm.

The wettest part of the continental US is actually a national park, Olympic national park and surrounding areas can recieve 12 feet of precepatation a year (144 inches.)
A significant part of the northwest coast of north America is considered a temprate rainforest making Seattle and Vancouver some of the rainiest major cities in the world.

I was born and lived in Washington State for 45 years. Seattle, WA gets about 38" of rain a year. However, there is some sort of cloud cover 261 days a year on average. Also, Forks, WA, which is on the west side of the Olympic Mountains (these mountains include the Hoh Rainforest), gets 120" a year.

Tongass National Forest, the world's largest old growth temperate rainforest, located in southeastern Alaska, commonly recieves 250 rainy days and as much as 220" (more than 18 feet!) of rain per year in some parts. It's probably not the rainiest place in the US, but I think it's worth bringing up. The US has some of every kind of terrain there is, and being such a big place it can be easy to forget how beautiful and expansive the natural splendor really is.

People are surprised that Oregon and Washington aren't on that list, but that's because the Cadcade mountains render a good portion of those states downwind of the range quite arid. But the west side of the mountains IS incredibly rainy.
