We want to caution you, however, that some weather reports often say it’s going to rain every day- this is usually not the case, so don’t be alarmed. As always, be sure to check local weather reports for the area you’ll be visiting for daily and hourly updates. In this article, we'll go over some of the most common visitor concerns about Hawaii's weather so you'll get a general idea of what to expect. Sounds pretty wet right? But lest we forget that just a few southwest of the wettest spot on earth, the area of Kekaha on Kauai receives only 15-25" (40-60 cm) of rain a year quite the contrast! Don't let the wet locations and/or cities fool you, it can be plenty dry in Hawaii on the Leeward side of the islands. Kauai is home to what is arguably the wettest spot on earth at Wai'ale'ale (around 470" annually), while Hilo, on the Big Island, is the wettest city in the United States (approximately 140" annually). The Big Island alone has nearly all of the world's climate zones. One minute it's raining and the next the sun's out - welcome to the tropics! Keep in mind that the weather is diverse here because the topography is also diverse. Forecasting the weather on Hawaii can be both daunting and confusing to visitors - this isn't the mainland, and the climate takes some getting used to.

Hawaii weather is about as sporadic as it gets. While it's always going to be close to impossible to predict the weather months or even weeks ahead of your vacation, it’s helpful to look at Hawaiian weather trends to get an idea of what to expect before you travel to Hawaii.
