Hawaii's long March of heavy rain
Published Mar 15, 2021 7:01 PM EDT | Updated Jun 21, 2021 5:53 PM EDT
March 2021 was a long month for Hawaii. You can see every tweet I did on the Hawaii rainfall in this month's WeatherMatrix Newsletter on Revue.
Of course, it rains a lot in Hawaii, but limited areas see over 20 inches (blues on the map below) in a normal March:
Average March Rainfall in Hawaii
In March 2021, most of the airports (except Honolulu) got close to, or over 10 inches of rain:
Hilo Airport: 24.99"
Lihue Airport: 11.89"
Kahului Airport: 9.78" (their record wettest March is only 10.90")
All told, the top 3 USGS station rainfall totals for the month of March 2021 were:
111.71" at Mt. Waialeale near Lihue, HI
50.38" at West Wailuaki near Keanae, HI
46.77" at Puu Kukui near Maui
Top 3 March 2021 Rainfall Amounts (Hawaii)
It started out with snow on the first day of Meteorological Spring.
By March 10, 2 to 3 feet of rain had fallen in several locations in as many days.
Even after that, the rain continued. Check out all the tweets I sent about the Hawaii rainfall in this month's WeatherMatrix Newsletter on Revue.
