The climate of Hawaii (Hawaii
- United States of America)
Hawaii is also known as Big Island to avoid confusion with the state.
The island is still growing. The island consists of 5 volcanoes which
erupted simultaneously thus forming the island. However, a few of
these volcanoes are still active. The lava that comes from these
volcanoes flows into the sea and creates new land. Because of its
surface and situation the island has several different climates. Snow
can be found on the highest peaks of the volcanoes, very dry regions
with a desert climate can be found here and the southern part of the
island has very high precipitation figures and has tropical
characteristics. Temperatures are very pleasant here all year round.
The ever blowing trade winds cause temperatures not to rise too high.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
