The inhabitants of the island of Kauai, one of the oldest Hawaiian Islands, which is 6 million years old, are well aware of the prolonged rains.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, rainy weather on the island lasted 247 days.
Having started on August 27, 1993, the rain did not shed its last drop until April 30 of the following year, 1994.
However, it cannot be said that this event came as a surprise to local residents, since rains on the island are not uncommon.
According to statistics, there are approximately 20 days a year without rain here.
However, this has its advantages – rainy weather is conducive to the growth of lush vegetation, in which beautiful waterfalls are buried.
The average annual rainfall on the island is about 12 meters, which causes some “deviations” in the development of flora and fauna.
For example, on the island you can see grass of incredible height, and the foliage on the trees sometimes reaches two and a half meters.
There are no reptiles or mammals on the island, but there are many unique species of insects that are found nowhere else on the planet.
