Highest Rainfall: - top 10
( inches / year )

Buenaventira, Colombia 267"
Monrovia, Liberia 202"
Pagp Pago, American Samoa 198"
Moulein, Burma (Myanmar 192"
Lae, Papua New Guinea 183"
Baguio, Philippines180"
Sylhet, Bangladesht 178"
Conakry, Guinea 170.91"
Padang, Indonesia 166.34"
Bogor, Indonesia 166.33"


Lowest Rainfall: - only 7 - I couldn't find any more information.
( inches / year )

Aswan, Egypt 0.02"
Luxor, Egypt 0.03"
Arica Desert, Chile 0.04"
Ica, Peru 0.1"
Antofagasta, Chile 0.2"
El Minya, Egypt 0.2"
Asyut, Egypt 0.2"

I spent a long time trying to find countries. There are so many and I would have had to try to find the yearly precipitation for each one and then compare — there were no lists anywhere comparing rainfall between countries (wettest or driest).
Sorry

The 2nd highest is Cherrapunji in Northeast India with 11 metres (433 inches/ 36 feet) per year. The highest is Mawsynram in India with 11.872 metres (468 /39 feet). (I did a little more looking)

The lowest is the Atacama desert in north Chile which is said to have zero to very little rainfall.
