I was in Oahu last week in a place that experienced 10 inches of rainfall in one day. I had never been in a situation where stepping outside felt like turning on a shower.

Hawaii gets a lot of rain. IIRC there are some places that are amongst the highest rainfall anywhere. I experienced a flash flood on Maui near Hana. We were hiking there with no rain when we started and turned into torrential rain. Quite an experience. The campground turned into a swamp with knee high water.

Regular thing in Hilo or Waiʻaleʻale.
