Q&A: When is the rainy season in Hawaii?

We love to share our local knowledge of the islands and invite you to ask questions.

Q: We are hoping to come to Hawaii the end of next month (February) and are wondering what to expect weather-wise.

A: The traditional rainy months are November to early December and March. During those months you can expect state-wide rainfall that is unavoidable, and which can typically last for one or two weeks, day and night. When coming during those times, it is wise to plan for alternate activities. We’ll be posting more on these ideas soon. So far this season, the island chain has had consistent rain from about Thanksgiving through New Years, which was longer than normal.
