Honolulu Gets Wind Whipped As Trade Showers Crash The Workweek

Monday, June 8, 2026, and Honolulu is kicking off the week with brisk trade winds and a quick mix of sunshine and brief showers. Scattered morning showers will focus on windward and mauka slopes before skies turn mostly sunny by afternoon, with highs near 84°F and lows near 74°F tonight. East-northeast winds will stay steady and breezy, occasionally gusting into the low 20s mph.

What To Expect Today And This Week

Scattered morning showers should taper by midday, leaving mostly sunny afternoons with light rainfall totals that generally stay under a tenth of an inch. East-northeast trades will hold around 10 to 16 mph with gusts of roughly 22 to 25 mph through Tuesday, June 9, 2026, then gradually weaken by Wednesday, June 10, 2026, which will allow more localized sea breeze and land breeze showers later in the week. Brief isolated showers will remain possible overnight, especially over windward slopes, but most areas will stay warm and humid with highs in the mid 80s.

Marine And Coastal Hazards

A Small Craft Advisory is in effect until 6 PM HST Monday, June 8, 2026, for Alenuihaha Channel, Big Island leeward waters, Big Island southeast waters, Maalaea Bay and Pailolo Channel, so boaters should seek sheltered harbors and avoid exposed waters. A small, long period south swell will peak later today into Tuesday, nudging surf a bit above June averages but still below advisory criteria. A stronger south-southwest swell is forecast to arrive by late Sunday, June 14, 2026, and could reach advisory levels. The office warns that the combination of that larger swell and the peak monthly tides from June 14 to 16, 2026, may lead to wave runup and coastal flooding on low-lying roads, docks and boat ramps. If you have coastal plans during that period, keep a close eye on beach forecasts.

Plan Ahead

Grab a light rain jacket for morning errands, since passing showers could briefly wet the roads, and expect crosswinds to nudge high-profile vehicles on exposed stretches. If you are heading offshore today, consider postponing if your vessel is small, as the advisory runs through 6 PM HST Monday, June 8, 2026, and conditions may stay choppy into Tuesday. Check updated forecasts before travel or marine activities, and tune in to local beach and harbor advisories if you are planning coastal recreation later this week.
