When Rainfall Falls dried up, some of us were wondering about historical droughts around Hilo. I put together a chart of the last 50 years ('63 through '12) using data from the weather website Wunderground.
Looks like there was quite a drought starting in the mid 60's that didn't end until the early 70's. Was anyone in Hilo at the time?
The chart shows we are relatively dry over the last 3 years, but not as bad as back about 40 years ago.
The "years" at the bottom of the chart a squeezed together pretty badly. Hope you can make them out.
