Honolulu is starting Tuesday near 78 degrees under partly cloudy skies, but the day should turn mostly sunny and warm, with a high near 87. A few isolated showers may pop up after noon, mostly a quick windward or mauka interruption rather than an all-day washout.

Sunny Tuesday, With A Brief Shower Chance

East-northeast winds will run 10 to 15 mph Tuesday, with gusts up to 21 mph. The National Weather Service Honolulu forecast puts the chance of rain at 20% and says drier conditions should prevail as a weak trough fades, while Monday’s Hoodline forecast had already flagged the trade-wind ramp-up.

Trade Winds Strengthen Later This Week

Wednesday looks sunnier and slightly cooler, with a high near 86 and a low around 75 overnight. Winds then pick up Thursday and Friday, reaching about 18 mph with gusts as high as 26 mph, while isolated showers are most likely before noon.

Weekend Plans May Need A Wind Check

By Saturday and Sunday, east-northeast winds are expected around 21 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph. Mostly sunny afternoons are expected, though isolated showers remain possible through the weekend.

No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect, but exposed shorelines and outdoor plans may feel noticeably windier as the trades build.
