Honolulu stays warm, breezy, and a little sticky on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, with a forecast high near 86°F and muggy overnight lows around 79°F. Moderate east-northeast trade winds will keep most neighborhoods feeling gusty while pushing isolated showers into windward and mauka areas through the morning. Those showers should be brief and spotty, with little measurable accumulation as a drier airmass moves in later in the day.
Afternoon Winds And Mugginess
East-northeast winds of roughly 15 to 18 mph, with gusts near 25 mph through the afternoon, will leave east-facing shores on the choppier side and crank up the sense of humidity inland. Dewpoints have been hanging in the low 70s, keeping nights on the sticky side, although moisture is forecast to drop back into the 60s late Wednesday night. For detailed timing and any forecast tweaks, check the latest from the National Weather Service Honolulu.
Marine Outlook And Advisories
A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through 6 PM HST Wednesday, July 1, 2026, for the Alenuihaha Channel, Maalaea Bay, Pailolo Channel and nearby waters, so small vessels should expect choppy seas and gusty winds. South-facing surf will stay below average through Friday, then a small to moderate long-period south-southwest swell is expected to arrive over the holiday weekend and could nudge surf to near or slightly above normal. Boaters and beachgoers should keep an eye on conditions and think twice before charging straight out to sea; see current watches and warnings from the NWS watches and warnings.
What To Expect Through The Weekend
A generally drier airmass should keep shower activity limited into the holiday weekend, with afternoon highs holding in the mid 80s and overnight lows in the upper 70s. Independence Day on Saturday, July 4, 2026, is shaping up mostly sunny with a chance of isolated morning showers and the same gusty trades, so outdoor plans are still in play, just on the windier side. If you are heading out on a small boat or setting up along the shoreline, bring a wind-resistant layer, secure loose gear, and keep an eye on updated forecasts.
