Sunday is bringing Honolulu a familiar island-weather mix: mostly cloudy skies, scattered showers, warm temperatures and trade winds strong enough to make exposed areas feel decidedly blustery. The afternoon high should reach 84 degrees, while east-northeast winds of 17 to 23 mph may gust as high as 32 mph. Periods of passing showers are possible.
The National Weather Service Honolulu office says showers may pass through Sunday and Sunday night, with rainfall generally staying light. Honolulu should settle near 75 degrees overnight under mostly cloudy skies, while winds ease somewhat but could still gust to 32 mph. The latest update is a sharper turn toward a windy, showery pattern than the earlier weekend outlook covered by Hoodline.
Wind Advisories Cover Exposed Areas
A Wind Advisory remains in effect through 6 p.m. Sunday for portions of Oahu and several other islands, according to the National Weather Service. The strongest gusts are more likely near higher elevations, mountain gaps and other exposed locations, where loose outdoor items and temporary setups could take a beating. Drivers should be ready for sudden crosswinds, particularly on open roads and near ridgelines.
Monday Starts Showery Before Partly Sunny Skies
Monday Starts Showery Before Partly Sunny Skies Monday afternoon, a cloud band is expected to move across the islands into Tuesday, with a high near 84 degrees. Showers may accompany the cloud band as it moves across the islands. Monday night brings another round of scattered showers, a low near 75 and continued breezy conditions.
Midweek Rain Chances Rise Again
Tuesday looks mostly sunny with isolated showers and a high near 84, but an upper low is expected to bring enhanced showers Wednesday and Thursday. Brief showers will continue to favor windward and mountain areas, though some could spill into leeward neighborhoods.
Thursday and Friday stay warm, with highs near 83 degrees. Thursday winds are forecast at 18 to 24 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph, then ease Friday. Scattered showers remain possible through Friday and into Saturday, especially overnight and during the morning.
Rough Water Expected Around Exposed Shores
The weather is not only making plans complicated on land. The National Weather Service expects rough, above-seasonal surf along east-facing shores, while a north swell may push surf near High Surf Advisory levels; boaters also face Small Craft Advisories across Hawaiian coastal waters, with Gale Warnings in several channels through Sunday evening. Anyone heading to the beach or onto the water should check the latest conditions and avoid assuming that a sunny break means calm seas.
