Climate of Hawaii Islands
|
The climate in Hawaii is simply splendid. Some of the factors contributing towards the popularity of Hawaii are the--Cooling trade winds, low humidity, high pressure, clear sunny days, and the absence of pollution. Generally, The average daytime temperature is 78° in the winter and 85° in the summer. Temperatures drop less than 10° at night and drops to about three degrees for every 1,000 feet of altitude. Hawaii mostly faces the northeasterly trade winds which prevail most of the year. The best times to visit Hawaii and experience the splendid climate are May to November. In these months, days will have temperature rises to 70s-80s F/22-32 C, and nights falls to 60s-70s F/17-27 C.
December and March are the wettest months. The mountains' location plays the biggest role in rainfall. Thus, you will encounter more variations between elevations and coast exposures (windward or leeward).Individual islands also have slight variations, but expect more wetness on either one of them. The North-easterly trade winds are so prevailing that the Northeast sides of the islands are always referred to as windward as they receive a decent amount of rainfall. While the north east sides are wet and cool, the leeward (west) sides are sunny and dry.
Thus on the Big Island, the windward coast (north-east) receives an average 130 inches of rain each year whilst the dry leeward coast (west), protected from cloud by the 13,600 feet summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, receives less than 30 inches. Even the west coast of the Big Island rainfall and cloud cover varies. Whilst, the coast is mostly sunny and dry - less than 5-miles inland on the slopes of Mt Hualalai in South Kona, sunny mornings often give way to afternoon mists and light rain enriching the coffee farms. Wherever you are, in Hawaii, don't forget to pack in some really warm clothes.
