Abstract: An attempt was made to specify Hawaiian winter rainfall from simultaneous Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). Over the period 1949?69,December?February Oahu rainfall had a multiple correlation of 0.83 with the simultaneous values of two SST differences in the North Pacific. How-ever, use of this relationship for the years 1970?77 revealed that little success in specifying rainfall would have been achieved. A contributory reason is ?artificial predictability.? Further, a multiple-regression formula baud on the whole period gave significantly more large errors in 1967?77 than in 1949?66, suggesting that the dominant influences on the rainfall have changed.
