Weather on all of the Hawaiian Islands is very consistent, with
only minor changes in temperature throughout the year.
This is due to year-round warm sea surface temperatures, which keep
the overlying atmosphere warm as well.
In practical terms, there are only 2 seasons: the summer months
(called Kau in Hawaiian) that extend from May to October and the
winter months (Ho'oilo) that run from November to April.
The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85 degrees
F. (29.4 C) while the average daytime winter temperature is 78 degrees
(25.6 C). Temperatures at night are approximately 10 degrees F.

The islands are an incredible collection of many diverse micro-environments,
each with its own unique weather, plants and animals. As a result
of the shielding effect of volcanic mountains and the differences
in weather found at various elevations, there are as many different
climate zones here as exist along the entire coast stretching from
Alaska to Costa Rica.
For the full impact of this, visitors need only explore the islands
by car or helicopter and they'll see the beauty of tropical rain
forests, cool alpine regions, stony deserts and sunny beaches -
all within the span of just a few short miles. Hawaii packages with
