Climate in Honolulu

The capital and largest city in Hawaii boasts a tropical climate albeit with less rainfall than what is typically seen in similar environments. This is due to a rain shadow effect in which Oahu’s tall mountains act as a shield against rain clouds and prohibit them from passing over the island.

On average, the air temperatures in Honolulu are comfortable, ranging from the mid 20s to low 30s year round.

Constant trade winds keep a gentle breeze running through the city, helping to bring down the humidity.

Extreme weather in any capacity is quite rare.
