"a half inch or more of rain on more than half of the days"
I'm not sure if that's such a sucker bet, even in Hilo. Assuming a week-long holiday (reasonable, for a destination so far from the mainland) this only would've only happened in December, January and February in the last year - if I'm reading the graphs correctly. And then only in one week or two of each of those months. All you need is just one day with less than half an inch and you miss out. But if you're going anyway...
