Weather in the Hawaiian islands is very consistent, with only minor changes in temperature throughout the year. There are really only two seasons in Hawaii: summer (kau), from May to October, and winter (hooilo), from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85° F (29.4° C), while the average daytime winter temperature is 78° (25.6° C). Temperatures at night are approximately 10° F lower than the daytime (Courtesy of go.hawaii.com).
