Honolulu, HI: average weather by month
NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals at the HONOLULU INTL AP station, read through NOAA's Regional Climate Centers' ACIS service. Every column below is the station's own average for that month over that 30-year period — not a forecast. The rainfall figures are NOAA's precipitation normal, so they count rain plus melted snow (and any other frozen precipitation, as water), not rain alone.

Months within our comfort range
We set one fixed, objective threshold ourselves — average high between 65°F and 80°F, and average rainfall under 2 in — and check each of the twelve rows against it. This is not a claim that any other month is bad, and not our judgment of which month suits any trip; it is just which rows on the table above clear the stated numbers. See how we set this threshold.
No month at Honolulu clears both parts of the threshold at once by this station's normals. Every month's average high is above 80°F. March, November and December average 2 in of rain or more.
About the station
These normals are read at a single NOAA/NWS station, HONOLULU INTL AP (station ID 22521), not averaged across the whole metro area. A different station nearby — higher ground, closer to water, further inland — can read noticeably different numbers, especially for rain. This site's fetcher read these normals from ACIS on 2026-10-11. Run this station's ACIS query yourself.
