Honolulu residents and visitors have a reason to smile this week as the city enters a stretch of warm, sunny weather perfect for outdoor activities. With daytime highs consistently in the low 80s°F (around 27°C) and mild evenings, it’s shaping up to be an ideal time to hit the beach, go hiking, or enjoy a relaxing outdoor meal.
When Does the Nice Weather Start, and How Long Will It Last?
The beautiful conditions start Tuesday, February 11, and will continue through the weekend. Daytime highs will range from 81°F to 84°F (27°C to 29°C), and evenings will be just cool enough to be comfortable, with lows between 64°F and 69°F (18°C to 20°C).
This is classic Honolulu weather at its finest—warm enough for beachgoers and outdoor lovers, but not too hot to enjoy a long walk along Waikiki Beach or a hike up Diamond Head.
Why Is the Weather So Good This Week?
The city is benefiting from a stable high-pressure system over the Pacific, which is keeping skies clear and temperatures consistent. There’s no threat of major rain or disruptive winds, just gentle breezes and lots of sunshine. A few light showers may pop up in the morning on Friday, but they won’t last long or ruin your plans.
