Weather in Hawaii Jan/Feb?

[SusanMelody]

I am going to book the POH in 2007 for my DH and I 10th anniversary, and I am would like to know from past cruisers, if it rained during their January or February cruise.

We go to Honolulu every January (except 2006 since we were there twice in 2005--once on a cruise) and usually January weather is wonderful. There might be a short shower in the morning, but then usually clears off very nicely for most of the day, but then that is for Oahu. Guess that Hawaii has had more rain this year (and heavy rain, to boot), but we love Hawaii in January and will be there for three weeks in January, 2007.

Yes, it is almost certain to rain during a January/February cruise. As mentioned, the rain is usually showers that come and go. December through March is the usual "rainier" season in Hawaii. Let me give you this advice though, do not look for a cruise in Hawaii at a time when "it won't rain." Such a cruise does not exist. There is rain in Hawaii all year. You will almost certainly experience some no matter when you go there. Certainly there are times when you might not experience any rain for a week, but there is absolutely no way of predicating if or when that might happen.

 

This spring was extraordinarily wet. Next year may be drier or it may be as wet (probably not, but again, there's just no way to know).

 

Have a lovely cruise.

And remember that it's the rain that creates all those wonderful waterfalls.
