Lanikai Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The island of Oahu has a moderate tropical climate with gentle northeasterly tradewinds and warm Pacific waters almost year-round. Temperatures vary little from place to place, except at higher elevations The average annual temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit fluctuates only a few degrees from summer (May through October) to winter (November through April.) Unlike the temperature, Hawaii%u2019s rainfall varies tremendously according to location. The highest amount of rainfall is usually at moderate elevations on the windward (east) sides of the islands and is due to moisture-laden oceanic tradewinds. Leeward (western) locations are drier, because they are shielded from the damp winds by mountains. Mild rain and windstorms are more frequent during Hawaii%u2019s winter months, but they generally clear within 24 hours. Although severe storms are uncommon (such as hurricanes or tropical storms,) they do make landfall in the Central Pacific, on average, every 8 to 10 years.
