Rain, Mauna Kea, Skiing, and Altitude Sickness

[TomK]

First rain bands are here. Orographic lifting (land and mountains forcing moisture up to higher, colder levels) are intensifying the rain as it hits the island. Another two or three hours before the snow starts at the MK summit is my guess.

If you have A/C or a de-humidifier, time to get them going!
