About Honolulu Weather
Honolulu, at 21.3° north latitude in United States, lies within the tropics and experiences a warm, humid climate throughout the year. Temperatures typically range from 24°C to 35°C (75°F–95°F) regardless of month, with rainfall — rather than temperature — defining the seasons. The city divides its year into a wet season (May – October), driven by the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone and monsoon circulation, and a drier period (November – April) of clearer skies and lower humidity. Even in the dry season, temperatures remain warm; the change in humidity and cloud cover is the most noticeable shift.
