Hawaii's long March of heavy rain

Published Mar 15, 2021 6:01 PM EST | Updated Jun 21, 2021 4:53 PM EST

Copied

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:

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

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.
