– how can a place be constantly extremely rainy? Eg Maui is said to be one of the wettest places on earth where it rains constantly. What is the explanation behind this? Why would one place be constantly rainy as opposed to another place?

Lived on Maui for 3 years and worked as s tour guide, best job you could ever have. The wettest spot is a small area in the volcano in the west Maui mountains but just on the other side is Lahaina, about couple miles or so away which is incredibly dry. The clouds get “caught/trapped” in the volcano tops. Very often if it’s raining where you are, if you just go to the other side it’s not raining. It’s very rare that the whole usland is rainy.
