Honolulu residents and visitors can expect breezy conditions and occasional showers, especially in windward and mauka areas. A high-pressure system north of the islands is bringing moderate to gusty trade winds, with some showers possibly reaching leeward areas, according to the National Weather Service.
Easterly trade winds will continue across the Hawaiian Islands, with a slight decrease expected mid-to-late next week as northern fronts pass and high pressure moves northeast. Scattered showers will affect windward areas, with occasional rain reaching leeward sides. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for most Hawaiian waters due to the strong winds. Beach conditions will vary, with rough seas on east-facing shores and a swell on south shores that may approach advisory levels, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Late next week, a weather disturbance is expected to increase moisture over the state, bringing more frequent and heavier showers. This will temporarily change the typical light rain and breeze often experienced in windward and mauka areas. Aviation alerts also indicate some low-level turbulence due to steady trade winds, which continue to influence Hawaii's weather, as stated by the National Weather Service.
