Just another WordPress.com weblogWheather for Honolulu, Hawaii
April and May will be slightly cooler than normal from Kauai to Maui, with near-normal temperatures, on average, on the Big Island. May will be especially rainy on the Big Island. Elsewhere, rainfall will be below normal..
Summer will be about a degree cooler than normal, on average, with the hottest period in mid- to late August. Rainfall will be below normal, with the rainiest periods in mid-July.
September and October will each be about two degrees cooler than normal, on average, despite a warm spell in mid-September. Rainfall will be near normal, with the rainiest periods in the second half of October.
Temperature variations in Hawaii are largely elevation-based, with higher elevations cooler than elevations closer to sea level. Precipitation often varies alot throughout the islands, even at similar elevations. For example, Hilo, is at an elevation of 31 feet above sea level, averages more than 130 inches of rain per year, while Honolulu, at an elevation of 7 feet, averages only about 20 inches of rain per year. Because there is so much variation in rainfall, we have based the forecast on the Honolulu-Waikiki area and expressed only general trends elsewhere throughout the islands. Thus, for example, the forecast does note a widespread rain but not a locally heavy rainfall.
