IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, 2007:
(more than 20 climate models took part)
precipitation change: likely to decrease
but for Hawaii, no robust signalsModels show a drier
climate
Models results inconsistentMost models: drier climateMost models: wetter
climate
No significant changeModels show a wetter
climate

Synoptic (=weather-related) studies:
Months with high/low precipitation in Hilo site of Big Island
[sea level pressure, wet season (Nov-Apr) between 1970-2000]
