No you're down south of Gabon. I know this is a tough q and I will probably settle for the country, if no one gets it by the start of Sat morning test I will surrender the answer, unless there are objections. FYI; The more I look into this the more amazing it seems in a meteorological sense. The capital city is on the coast of the Atlantic, and the source appears to be very close to the coastline. This leads me to believe that there is a ridge very close to the shoreline making the eastern escarpment of the ridge the beginning of the source. That part is speculation because I haven't looked at a topo map.
May the forza be with you

I'm confused. I looked up the answer on t' net and the answer I found was a different country from the one being described here. The two countries border one another so presumably have similar climates.

OK I'm throwing in the towel.
My source NationMaster - Interesting Facts > Geography
asserts: Guinea has the wettest capital (Conakry) on Earth, with 3.7 metres of rain a year.
However I have been made aware of: Monrovia - Getting There, Getting Around, Tourism, For Further Study
which claims a higher annual total.
I hope it was as good for you as t was for me. I’ll just grab my coat on the way out!May the forza be with you

It was an interesting Q Doc. I think you just over-estimated our collective geo-wisdom : .
How about I throw in a Q to keep things moving. I know how much you all enjoy airport codes, but I think I’ll take a break from that riveting line of questioning and pose the following brain-teaser:

Yes, but I was hoping for something a little more specific.
