January weather in Kona has been quite good, even interesting at times with well above normal rainfall providing the most lush foliage we have seen to date and consistently overflowing water tanks. We had a wild, eye opening thunder storm directly over the house which I recorded some of. We had a very unusual tempest like storm sweep in off the ocean and dump a ton of rain on us. We had a tornado like water spout thing dance off shore. Really exciting stuff from mother nature Temps at our house are about 80 degrees daily with night temps down to about 69, dipping as low as 58 durring the cold front moving thru the past week. Locals said it was the coldest they'd ever seen. Humidity is deliciously tropical in the 80 area. VOG, fog like volcano stuff, obscures visibility somewhat but by 9 am the sun is generally blazing away with good visibility.
The weather here is quite consistent normally. Nightly, a gentle air flows from Maun Loa's peak above us down to the sea below. Then in the morning, unfailingly, the air flow reverses comming up from the sea bringing elevated humidity with the temperatures climbing 8 to 10 degrees within minutes. Typically also, clouds begin to form over Maun Loa peak behind us around noon or so bringing a welcome rain or threat of rain in the early afternoon. The sky over the shoreline below stays clear and sunny probably 2 to 3 hours longer. Yet on other days we enjoy sun thruought the day.
