The islands of Hawaii boast the sweetest climate and weather for a wonderful vacation. Hawaii and its eight islands - Hawaii, Kahoolawe, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau - are situated in the temperate Pacific ocean more than 2,000 miles off the coast of California.

The perfect air temperatures are generally stable because of the higher water temperatures of the surrounding ocean. When people think of the ultimate in comfortable climates, the islands of Hawaii and Pahoa are first in their minds. Even though sunny skies and warm ocean breezes are the norm here, Hawaiian weather can vary significantly across very short distance. Changes in altitude and weather conditions can be severe - you could experience both snowfall on a mountain or sunburn by the seaside. Something to consider when going from your Pahoa hotel or villa for an excursion around the mountain ranges is that for every 300 meter increase in altitude the temperature decreases about 3 degrees.

On the windward side of most of the islands and in Pahoa you may happen upon some serious wet weather, but remember that it's this weather that lends itself to creating the gorgeous green forests all around you. The southwest (or "leeward") portions of the islands tend to be on the dry side and less windy. Any way you look at it, Pahoa weather is one of the best reasons to take a Hawaiian vacation. Imagine yourself hiking up to a snowy volcano top or lounging seaside in the sun- Hawaii weather has it all. These website pages give you up-to-date Pahoa climate conditions to fuel your urge for a Hawaiian get-away.
