Description
Month-year rainfall maps for the State of Hawai‘i were created from January 1920 to December 2012 as a spin-off project from the Mean Rainfall Atlas of Hawai‘i project (http://rainfall.geography.hawaii.edu/). Raster files can be downloaded from the Rainfall Atlas website.
 
The annual maps from 1920-2012 are shown here in inches.
