The most often asked question is probably
'When
is the best weather for a Hawaii vacation?' This is the same
when Hawaii visitors decide for their travel dates for their Big
Island vacation. Fact is that the 'snow birds' want to escape the
cold months on the Mainland, catch some sun in Hawaii and swim in
the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. Big Island weather is generally
sunny and warm all year around, also during the 'winter' months.

Best Big Island Weather
Many people dream of a Big
Island vacation during Hawaii high season or the holidays, even
though November till March is said to have more rain in Hawaii.
Big Island hotels can be pricey, car rentals much higher than normal
(this is an island, so only a certain number of cars is available),
beaches and restaurants are more crowded than average in our peak
season months from middle of December till middle of April. Make
sure this is what you want for your Hawaii vacation. Big Island
weather is the same nice during spring and fall months with great
air fare specials to the Big Island, Hawaii car rental deals and
Kohala
Coast hotels & vacation rental accommodations bargains.
Big Island East Coast and West Coast
Weather
However, what each Big Island vacationer should
know is that Big Island weather can vary quite a bit depending on
the elevation of your vacation rental place and whether you stay
on the East Coast or the West Coast of the island. Big Island's
East Coast (Hamakua Coast, Hilo, Puna, Volcano) is generally the
wet, rainy side of the island, which allows for the most beautiful
rainforest to thrive. Visit
our Big Island Map. Sun lovers might want to stay on the much
drier and sunnier West Coast of the Big Island, on the Kona
Coast or Kohala
Coast. Big Island weather on the west coast beach resort can
be very hot though during the summer months. When renting Big Island
beach rentals, make sure your island vacation home has AC. During
hot summer month a vacation rental at a higher elevation of the
Big Island provides the best weather with the comfort of a relaxing
sleep.

Big Island 11 Microclimates Weather Changes
Last but not least, the fact that the Big Island
has about 11 microclimates makes it possible that the weather can
change dramatically within a short driving range of about 3 miles.
The most drastic change Big Island visitors can expect is when coming
from the Kohala Coast beaches and taking Hwy 19 to Upcountry Waimea,
Parker Ranch cowboy country. Be prepared to close the roof of your
Convertible when entering Waimea Town and even bring a sweater doing
some shopping in Waimea. Another big weather change happens when
coming from Hilo (sea level) on Hwy 11 to Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park. The Park is at a 4000ft elevation.
Be prepared for cool and windy weather. Have some additional clothes
in your backpack when going in hikes in the Park. Lava flow is mostly
happening at sea level where it is hot and dry again.
Big Island Events Weather
Decide what you want to see and to do on your
Big Island vacation and then find the best time of the year to do
that. If you want to stay away from big crowds, you might want to
avoid our best Big Island events Hawaii
Ironman Triathlon in October in Kona and Merrie Monarch
Hula Festival in Hilo at Easter in spring. On the other hand,
they are a great reason to visit Hawaii for your Big Island vacation.
Spring and fall weather on the Big Island can be very pleasant,
especially on the Kona Kohala Coast of the West side of the Big
Island. Spring and fall months are generally not as hot as the summer
months. Big Island weather in October, November and March, April
may surprise you with some rain in Hawaii though.
