Climate in Hawaii

The climate of Hawaii is more subtropical than tropical, due to the fact that the sea surrounding the islands has a moderating effect. Weather conditions tend to be fairly consistent, with little temperature variation. There are two seasons, neither of which is particularly extreme. Summer (May to October) has pleasant temperatures and humidity is low, with the average highs of 82ºF (28ºC). Winter (November to April) has temperatures that rarely fall below 65ºF (18ºC). The climate of each Hawaiian island can differ according to whether they fall on the windward side or not, as those areas on the windward side experience more rain and cloud cover caused by prevailing north easterly trade winds. So, Hawaiian resorts tend to cluster on the leeward sides so that tourists can enjoy the benefits of more sunshine.
