Picturesque and pristine, Hawaii's sun and surf are considered by the world as the very definitions of tropical paradise. Contrary to popular belief however, the Hawaiian Islands do experience changes in its weather patterns, "seasons" that alter temparature and rainfall in subtle and sometimes dramatic ways. The Hawaiian "summer," or Kau, runs from May thru October with an average daytime temperature of 85 F degrees. The winter months, or Ho'oilo, last from November thru April with temperatures 78 F degrees and lower, with some nighttime temperatures hitting the low 60s. Through most of the year, Hawaii is blessed with cool trade winds due to high-pressure zones in the north Pacific. During the "wet" months of November thru March, rainfall may increase from light showers to sudden downpours, although these rarely last for long as even in the wintertime, the sun dominates Hawaiian skies. Hawaiian dresses and Hawaiian shirts made out of our 100% Cotton or Polyester/Cotton blended Hawaiian Fabrics make comfortable and stylish attire for any Hawaiian season, while longer-length Hawaiian dresses add a more formal touch -- and warmth -- for winter and nighttime outings. Accessorize with casual slippers for kane (men) and sandals for wahine (women), and you're ready for year-round Hawaiian fun! |
