I know when I lived on 11 road for 2 years in Hawaiian Acres (2005-2007), which butts up against mauka Orchidland, it rained an average of 300 inches per year. Much of it at night and early morning when the weather is "normal". Many times, like recently, it's not normal and will rain for a week straight. Rainfall amts. vary.
For example, when I moved down to Seaview Estates it avg. about 180 inches per year.

All of the mauka subdivisions going up toward volcano generally get a good amount of rain. The further makai (toward ocean) the less rain. And, in the rainy areas you have to consider mold.
Nothing leather survives the mold in these areas.
I had electric AND internet by the way - but we were the last house on the road to have it. If you want paved streets, electricity, Internet AND cell phone service - you may want to look carefully and don't take the real estate person's answer - research the specific lot yourself and call utilities with lot #.
My experience and .02 cents worth.
