How's The Weather?

Not so good: Far from horrible, December and January are coolest (average afternoon temperature is 75 degrees); August and September are hottest (average 92 degrees). The wettest months are from November to March.

Note: In general, every island's northern shore gets more rain than the southern, especially on Kauai and the Big Island.
