Dark, depressing, rainy weather

[Carey]

I posted the climate data because it does show that averaged over the past 50 years, summer months have about 1-3 "clear days", 25-28 days with at least some rain, and over half of the days will be cloudy, about a third will be partly cloudy.... in winter there are a few more clear days

But most any time we have a week or so of very overcast weather, it seem does seem overly depressing.... We have lived here only 7 years, and I have noticed that these long grey spells can happen most anytime of the year... last year it was in late Nov - Dec, some years it is March....These are seem to be drivem by weather fronts, not an overall seasonal weather trend...

As some have said, it is best to have a variety activities that make the grey days more fun.... and gardens love it! Our lilikoi are growing like crazy - over grew the gate in less than 3 days so I had to whack it back just to get to the compost machine.... Our new grass went from barely any growth for a month to crazy growth in the last 2 weeks.... And this is a good time for the citrus fruits to get water... so that is good...

and at least we have had some sun today...

Added: One other good thing happened today... The Hilo radar is back on line...so at least you can again see what is coming!
