The African country so rainy that it's 'one of the wettest place on the continent'
This part of Africa receives a huge amount of rainfall each year and also holds a spot as one of the wettest places on the whole planet.
This country is one of the rainiest places in the whole world with high levels of rainfall throughout the year.
Cameroon is known for being one of the wettest parts of Africa with so much rain that it also holds a spot in the rainiest places in the world.
Debundscha, a village at the foot of Mount Cameroon, is one of the worst affected areas with a yearly total of 405 inches of rainfall.
The mountain is the highest point in the country at 13,500ft, it is also the only active volcano in the country.
Rainfall is an essential part of life on Earth, but for Cameroon, record-setting levels of rain can cause complications.

Debundscha is situated in close proximity to the equator, AND the village experiences a hot, humid, and prolonged rainy season.
With peak rainfall occurring between May and October, any visitors to Debundscha should always be prepared to expect a wet and soaking atmosphere - but the Forign Office advises against all travel to the country.
Cameroon is often known as "Africa in miniature" because of its geographical and cultural diversity, reports the BBC.
The country has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa but its economic progress has been hampered.
Alongside Cameroon, there are other parts of the world which are also known for being especially wet or rainy.

These include Mawsynram and Cherrapuni in India, Tutunendo in Colombia and San Antonio De Ureca in Equatorial Guinea.
Some of these locations receive more rain in a week than most places do in a year.
The rainiest places are decided by looking at how much rainfall each location gets over the course of a year.
In contrast, the driest place on Earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile, which is renowned for its extreme aridity.
It receives less than 1mm of rain each year, making it even drier than the polar regions. Some areas within the desert haven’t experienced rainfall in over 500 years.
