Well Kiko didn’t produce the rain that I hoped for. We had some showers, but no heavy downpours, at least not in our part of the island. Kiko moved further to the north as she passed the islands, taking her entourage of surrounding cloud, wind and rain with her. It must have fallen somewhere out over the ocean.

It still feels hot and humid here. Clear skies from this morning are being replaced with cloud building up off the mountain, Haleakala. The clouds are creeping out towards us. My hope is that they will reach us and have some rain to drop on us. Fingers crossed, though feeling a little pessimistic right now.
