When to visit
Weather in the Hawaiian Islands is very consistent, with only minor changes in temperature throughout the year. There are really only two seasons in Hawaii: summer (kau) from May to October and winter (hooilo) from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 29.4°C, while the average daytime winter temperature is 25.6°C. Temperatures at night are considerably lower than the daytime. The wettest months are from November to March, but winter rains do not generally disrupt vacation plans, since the weather is very localised. This means that if it is raining where you are, there is almost always a sunny spot to be found around the coast.
