The place we stay in Hawaii is consistently a high of 82°F with no rain, they get 3 inches a year, I have seen it rain there.  The weatherman has little to do.  One nice thing is every day is generally the same, quite nice.  Of course the other side of the island is quite different, I think Hilo gets 300 inches of rain a year.  It's a pretty nice small town.

There have been some really bad tsunamis on that other side of the island in history, I'm glad the big quake didn't cause something bad.  The outskirts of Hilo can be wiped out by the volcano, and subdivisions are gone with a house dotted around here and there, the other areas just an old lava flow.  A main connecting road was swallowed up years ago and never redone.  It's neat to drive to the end of it.

Sheesh talk about the wrong side of the tracks,does that have something to do with trade winds or mountains that's unusual considering distance

Yes, trade winds and mountains.  The eastern sides of Hawaiian islands get more rain, by a lot.  And there are two big mountains on the Big Island nearly 14,000 feet with a saddle in between that is about 6,000 feet, so it pushes the humid trade winds up causing rain on that side, but not the lee side.

It also snows on those mountains in winter.  I've often been swimming in a nice warm ocean looking back at snow covered Mauna Kea, which means "white mountain" in Hawaiian.

heat has passed here - it's 74 degrees - sending it east

Looks like they already found it...
