Friday, February 27, 2026 — Honolulu started the day under mostly clear skies and mild conditions, hovering around 65°F at local observation, with a high near 80°F expected this afternoon. East-southeast breezes will stay on the light side, and by midday many neighborhoods will feel a bit sticky as humidity creeps up. A weakening front sliding in from the west is already easing the trade winds and will help boost shower chances later this weekend into early next week.
Today Through Saturday: Mostly Sunny, Warm
From today through Saturday, expect partly to mostly sunny skies with highs around 80°F and overnight lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Winds should hold from the east to east-southeast at roughly 6–13 mph, which keeps most spots on the dry side. Rain chances stay low, below about 10 percent through Saturday, so it is a solid window for outdoor plans, although evenings may feel a bit muggy, according to the National Weather Service Honolulu.
Sunday Into Monday: Showers More Likely
The weakening front is forecast to move closer Sunday, March 1, 2026, into Monday, March 2, 2026, and that is when scattered showers and a few brief, passing downpours become more likely. Forecasters see a stronger signal for added moisture over the western islands, so rain chances climb to around 30 percent Sunday and Sunday night, with new rainfall amounts of roughly a tenth to a quarter of an inch possible in windward and western areas. Winds will pick up Sunday night with gusts near 18 mph, and a return to breezy trade conditions is expected by Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Earlier local coverage tracked the developing setup.
Boating, Surf And Commute Notes
Mariners and beachgoers should keep an eye on new short- to medium-period swells building over the weekend, with surf on exposed north- and west-facing shores expected to rise starting Saturday. As trades redevelop by midweek, short-period choppy conditions are possible, which could make things bumpier for smaller craft. Check lifeguard and harbor advisories before heading out. For early next week, those with outdoor plans should be ready for breezy east-northeast trades with gusts pushing into the mid-20s mph on some days.
