Honolulu is waking up to mostly clear skies Wednesday, but scattered showers are expected to move through before the day reaches a warm 86 degrees. East-northeast winds will add a steady breeze, with gusts reaching up to 18 mph.
The National Weather Service Honolulu forecast puts the chance of rain at 40% Wednesday, with mostly cloudy conditions and brief showers possible across Oahu. Overnight temperatures should settle near 76 degrees.
Morning Showers, Breezy Afternoon
Wednesday’s rain looks more like a passing inconvenience than an all-day washout, with showers favoring windward and mauka areas early and a few stray showers possible over leeward slopes later. Winds will run 8 to 14 mph from the east-northeast, keeping exposed beaches and ridgelines noticeably breezy.
Thursday brings a nearly identical setup: a high near 86, scattered showers, mostly cloudy skies and a 40% chance of rain. Gusts could reach 21 mph, so beachgoers and boaters may want to keep an eye on changing conditions.
Friday And Saturday Turn A Bit Drier
Rain chances ease Friday to 30% as Honolulu warms to around 87 degrees under partly sunny skies. Saturday stays just as warm, with isolated showers, mostly cloudy conditions and a lower 20% chance of rain.
The trade winds should gradually strengthen into the weekend, moving from lighter Friday breezes to 8–12 mph Saturday. That should keep outdoor plans workable, although a quick shower remains part of the island forecast rather than a total surprise.
Sunday Brings The Week’s Wettest Forecast
The bigger shift arrives Sunday, when the chance of rain jumps to 70% and mostly cloudy skies settle over Honolulu. Monday remains showery with a 60% chance of rain, highs near 87 and overnight lows around 77.
For now, no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Honolulu area. Nearshore waters may still turn choppy in the trade winds, while south-facing surf is expected to remain below seasonal averages through late week before a small south swell arrives around the weekend.
