Having spent half of last week in Kona I couldn't wait to get home. High 80s there, no breeze and still plenty of clouds. It was over 80 at 10:30 at night. I was very happy to be back in the (little bit of) rain.
Down here in Seaview we're kind of the exception to the rule for Puna. 42" through the end of July. Normal for the whole year is 96", and we were at 37" at the end of June, putting us quite a bit below normal. There have been fewer full sun days than normal, but I am still having to water the yard unless it rains .5" in a day, which is maybe twice a month lately. I think people have gotten spoiled by 3 years of drought. At least in Seaview, we are still in a drought. I'd be very happy to have more rain to get us up to normal rainfall again.
