Hawaii Weather in October

October forms the last month of Hawaii´s summer season.Temperatures, even though slightly cooler, are still beautifully warm and range between a low 70°F at night and a low 80°F during the day. The water temperature still remains beautifully warm at around 79°F. The number of rainy days and amount of rainfall starts to rise to 9 days of rain on average in October ahead of the winter season, which starts in November. But usually the rain wouldn't impact a beautiful Hawaii vacation too much as it tends to rain at nighttime in October. During days you can still enjoy 8 hours of sun. October is still part of the Pacific hurricane season - but Hawaii is hardly ever hit by any of these.

Crowds are low in October and prices are cheaper - so go ahead and book your travels! And in case you are into running, it´s the month in which Maui´s half and full marathons take place!

Best Time to visit Hawaii

Based on the weather we can safely recommend any time of the year for a vacation in Hawaii. The sun will shine daily and trade winds will provide a refreshing breeze.

In Hawaii the weather has only two seasons. The warm, dry summer where the temperatures reach from 81°F to 89°F is called ’Kau’ and the winter which lasts from November until April is called ’Hooilo’. In the winter season temperatures reach from 68°F to 81°F and the trade winds are slightly stronger. This time of the year is ideal for surfers who love the higher waves.
