I go to Kona side of Big Island. Those mountains block all the clouds so almost never rains there. You can always see clouds in the mountains but never makes it to the beaches. Then you go to Hilo side and the rains are incredible.
Indeed. It is quite a contrast.
Have you ever driven the Saddle Road? That’s an experience!
But in Hilo we have just come off a 2 month drought - it was strange indeed. Yes, Hilo has lots of rain, but it also has lots of sun.
