Dataset was scientifically peer reviewed
Description:
Month-year and Annual 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 for all years (1920-2012) are shown here in inches.
