Continental effect on rain is most drown right drap! Here in Hawaii the passing showers and monsoons vary so much I've coined a few terms.

No Rain = feeling rain looking up and no clouds above you

Dry Rain= The average rain, since you dry off as fast as you get wet.

Wet Rain= The heavy cloud burst

Mountain Rain = No rain usually, blown on trade winds from muaka side

Corner rain = monsoon that comes from the west and north since trade winds are NE(not of my coinage was local in Kauai)

Only place I've ever seen a moonbow, a rainbow caused by the moon since I was on the leeward, dry side of the island and a full moon low in the East and mountain rain. It is only white no colors

You forgot the Nice part of France in the silly names sections. I am sure most of the names I don't recognize are related to the upcoming fertility rights.

I do suggest that any Continental Riffs readers headed to Hawaii get in touch with my old friend. He knows his way around out there. I THINK I follow what he's saying above.
