When is the best time to go to Hawaii? What to wear in Hawaii now?

Everyone has learned a little bit about the scenic spots in Hawaii. Today I will mainly talk to you about some climate information about Hawaii. You can choose a suitable time to go to Hawaii to see it. Now let’s go and see it. See related information. Seasons

The year in Hawaii is roughly divided into two seasons: winter and summer, with summer from May to October and winter from November to April. Among them, the rainy season is from October to February, and local people are used to calling it the Shower season. The highest temperature on Oahu from August to September is 31°C, and the lowest temperature is 22°C. Although Hawaii is located in the tropics, the influence of the northeastern dry trade winds (also known as trade winds) brought by subtropical air pressure has formed a uniquely comfortable and pleasant climate. On the other hand, the average temperature from January to February is 17-22 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night is about 5-6 degrees. You need to wear a thin coat or bring a shawl when going out in the morning and evening.

In Hawaii during the rainy season, although the rainfall is relatively concentrated, it rarely rains all day long (which is completely different from the rainy season in the south of the country). Generally, precipitation is concentrated in the evening to early morning. During the day, sunny weather often returns immediately after a shower. Locals in Hawaii generally drive out, so most residents do not have the habit of carrying umbrellas. If it rains, stay in the car or find a shelter from the rain for a while, and wait for the rain to stop before continuing on your way. Because, in most cases, it won’t rain for too long.

However, I would like to remind everyone that if you insist on choosing to stay in a hotel in the northern part of Oahu in winter, you will often encounter continuous rainy weather.

Average temperature:

May-October-the highest temperature is 29-31℃, the lowest temperature is 21-23℃

November-April-the highest temperature The temperature is 21-23℃, the lowest temperature is 18-21℃

However, the average temperatures listed above are the temperatures measured by the local meteorological observatory and other relevant departments in a shaded place away from direct sunlight. For example, temperatures on Oahu are generally measured near Honolulu International Airport. If you take it to a place where the sun is not blocked, such as on Waikiki Beach, the temperature at the same time on the same day will jump a few digits higher than the temperature published by the radio. Weather

Although Hawaii is small in area, due to its complex terrain and altitude, weather often occurs with the sun in the east and rain in the west. Generally speaking, the northeastern parts of the Hawaiian islands receive more precipitation, while sunny days are more common in the southwest. Therefore, many hotels and resorts in Hawaii are built in the southwestern part of the island. Especially in the Waikiki area of ??Honolulu, where tourists are most concentrated, the sunny rate is very high compared to other areas on the island. Heavy rain is falling in many areas of Oahu, and clear skies are common near Waikiki. For meteorology experts, there is definitely a scientific basis, but as an ordinary tourist, Waikiki's sunny rate is really a very lucky thing. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Waikiki was chosen as a health resort by the royal family during the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Across Hawaii, Honolulu has the highest sunny day rate, with more than 70% of sunny days in a year. The place with the most rainfall is Hilo, located on the Big Island of Hawaii. The average annual rainfall is 3000mm, and the sunny rate only accounts for 40%. The average annual precipitation in the nearby Kailua-Kona area is only 630mm, which is in sharp and extreme contrast with Hilo. Maui's Kaana

Compared with the high temperature and high humidity in the Pali to Lahaina area, the Wailea area has a relatively dry climate. The Kaneohe and Manoa areas of Oahu receive the most rainfall on the island.

Also, there is a place where you can ski in Hawaii. That is the top of Mauna

Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. The average monthly temperature there is about minus 3.8 degrees, and it is the only place in Hawaii where you can ski from October to March. If you travel here, you need to wear winter clothes. Clothing

Shorts and short sleeves are suitable all year round in Hawaii. However, no matter it is winter or summer, the air conditioners in major shopping malls and facilities in Hawaii will operate at full capacity regardless of whether it is sunny or rainy. For girls, it is best to bring a thin knitted cardigan or shawl to protect yourself from the cold when shopping or visiting these places.

For friends who go to Hawaii in winter, except for those who are very afraid of the heat, a thinner long-sleeved jacket is one of the must-have items. You can wear short-sleeved shorts during the day, as the heat can sometimes make you sweat. However, if you go out in the evening without a jacket, you may be "shivering" from the cold. Therefore, it is a smart idea to wear a long-sleeved thin jacket over your short sleeves.

Let’s talk about the local people’s clothing. Some local fashionistas who are more sensitive to fashion will also wear a thin jacket or pure wool sweater over a halter top or short-sleeved shirt in winter, and then put on a pair of UGG short boots. However, most of these outfits are not for protection from the cold, but are purely fashionable. However, if you go to higher altitude places such as some Nuuanupali areas, the temperatures can drop very low in the early morning and evening. Many of the homes of residents living in this area are equipped with fireplaces so that they can always heat up when the temperature drops.

Is it possible to swim in Hawaii in the winter?

For those who travel to Hawaii in winter, perhaps this is the information they want to know the most. Indeed, compared with the sea water temperature in summer (27-28 degrees), the water temperature in winter (24-25 degrees) will be about two or three degrees lower. However, as long as it is not cloudy and the wind is not very strong, you can often see tourists enjoying sea bathing at Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana Beach.

Let’s talk about the situation of the local people. Most local schools have open-air swimming pools, where students usually take physical education classes. However, when winter comes, except for students in the swimming club (on-campus club), all physical education classes in the swimming pool will be cancelled. Moreover, residents who have heated swimming pools in their private homes (except for a small number of wealthy people, few Hawaii residents can have their own swimming pools) generally do not use swimming pools in winter. In other words, most locals do not often go to the beach to swim in the winter.

Of course, when enjoying sea bathing in winter, you must pay attention to the big wave forecast. There are usually warning signs about large waves written on the beach. Before entering the water, you must pay attention to whether there are such warning signs nearby. If so, for your own safety, don’t go swimming that day and enjoy other tourism projects instead! What to do

Hawaiian beaches in winter have their own unique scenery. For example, one of the joys is the rainbow that can be seen everywhere. Because there is a lot of precipitation in Hawaii in winter, and because of this, it is not very uncommon to see double or triple rainbows. On the beach or on the driving road, a colorful bridge suddenly appeared hanging upside down on the horizon. What a fresh and romantic experience it was!

There is also another bridge that can only be enjoyed in winter. Project, that is whale watching. There are many beaches in Hawaii where you can observe whales with the naked eye without taking a boat into the sea. What's even more incredible is that when you sit in coffee shops, restaurants and other places on the seaside, you can directly see the jumping of these behemoths. I have to admit, it is a spectacular and gorgeous natural wonder that makes everyone gasp!

Oahu temperature, precipitation, sunrise and sunset times

Come It’s not easy to visit Hawaii, the world’s leading resort, and how can you miss the most beautiful sunrise in this majestic and vast area! A bright red sun rises slowly from Diamond Head, bringing us positive energy in life. July has the longest daylight hours of the year, while December has the shortest. Although the natural conditions and security environment in Hawaii are very safe, if you plan to go hiking and enjoy the sunset, remember to confirm the sunset time with the hotel front desk before departure to avoid accidents while walking at night (remember to return to the hotel before sunset!). Below is the latest official sunrise and sunset timetable for 2018.

Table updated: March 2018
