Honolulu has a tropical savanna climate moderated by trade winds. At Honolulu International Airport, the 1991-2020 reference averages range from a daily high of 81°F (27°C) in Jan to 89°F (32°C) in Aug. Monthly precipitation averages sum to 16.4 inches (417 mm) per year.
Trade winds from the northeast keep conditions pleasant most of the year. Kona winds (October-March) bring rare humid southerly flow. Hurricane season (June-November) occasionally threatens, though direct hits are rare. Vog from Kilauea can affect air quality during southerly flow.
Hawaii's rainfall can change sharply over short distances. Moist trade winds produce clouds and rain as they rise over windward slopes, while sheltered leeward lowlands tend to be drier. Even normally dry areas can receive intense rain during a storm. NWS: Climate of Hawaii.
Local Planning Guide
Honolulu's notable windows are the wetter winter Kona season, summer hurricane-season threats, and vog episodes during southerly flow.
Rain varies enormously between town and the mountains just miles away, so radar helps show where downpours and flooding are actually occurring.
