A monthly rainfall total tells you how much water fell. It cannot tell you how many days it fell on. At Hilo International Airport, June’s long-term average total is lower than January’s, yet June averages close to ten more days with measurable rain.
If you have been reading the rainfall charts in our Big Island weather guide and picking a month by the smallest total, this is another part of the picture to consider.
