Weather

Local weather for your stay in Honolulu holiday homes

Like much of Hawaii, Honolulu has a tropical climate, with warm year-round temperatures and distinct wet and dry seasons. Thanks to a rain shadow cast by the island's mountainous interior, Honolulu has relatively dry summers, and temperatures regularly climb to 32 degrees between June and August. The cooler, wetter winter months generally peak around 27 degrees, with most of the city's rain falling between November and March. A popular destination all year round, you'll find that prices on Honolulu vacation rentals stay about the same from one season to the next.

Further inland, you can find Diamond Head, a dormant 232-metre-high volcano that offers scenic views of its crater and the surrounding area.
