Kahala Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Oahu has a tropical climate but with many variations within short distances on the island. This is because there are greater variations between elevations and coast exposures (leeward or windward) than in temperatures or seasons. The southern side of the island, near Honolulu and Waikiki Beach receives much less rainfall than the north and west (or leeward) sides. There are two mountain ranges that influence the climate of Oahu %u2013 both serve to block trade wind moisture from reaching the south and southwestern sides of the island, thus resulting in the drier climate. In the Waikiki area, yearly rainfall is 25 inches (with most of that occurring in November through March,) as compared to Manoa Valley, which is just a few miles away upland, and receives 158 inches. Overall, Oahu enjoys warm, balmy weather year round, with moderate humidity and no extremes.
