Here is the weather forecast...

(Said in my best BBC accent of course)

Sat 18th Oct: Considerable cloudiness with a shower in places
Sun 19th Oct: Mostly cloudy with a brief shower
Mon 20th Oct: Mostly cloudy with a shower in places
Tue 21st Oct: Mostly cloudy with a shower in spots
Wed 22nd Oct: Mostly cloudy with a shower in the area

This is the 5-day forecast for Hilo from AccuWeather and what appears in the local rag. I'm convinced that the forecasters have a database of about 50 different ways of saying the same thing and they just pick them by random being careful not to repeat themselves exactly.

Meanwhile, for Kailua town on the leeward side of the island:

Sat 18th Oct: Partly sunny
Sun 19th Oct: Partial sunshine
Mon 20th Oct: Mostly sunny
Tue 21st Oct: Partly sunny (oops, I think they messed up there)
Wed 22nd Oct: Partly sunny and pleasant
