Rain (or lack thereof) for May 2024

Rainfall (or lack of it) for May 2024. It will not surprise you to know that we are putting 0 inches of rain in the record books for the month of May. It is actually the first rainless May in our records going back to 1995. May 2024 will be one of the more memorable smoke seasons, with the airport closing several mornings due to visibility.

We have had less than an inch of rain recorded since the beginning of March. Looking forward into June, we normally pick up more squalls from the east with an average rainfall of over 3 inches. We have chances of rain, starting this weekend. Let’s hope they come through because the island is very thirsty.
