20 JULY 1998. HAWAII: DROUGHT
The Honolulu Advertiser reports that although the drought has ended on
much of the Bigi Island (Hawai'i), the Ka'u area has only received 20%
of its expected rain, so the risk of fire and further agricultural loss
remains. Hilo is still at 64% of normal, while South Kohala on the lee
and drier side of the island has received 200 % of normal rainfall.
