most accurate weather report for kauai
This sign is located on the grounds of the Kauai Marriott Resort just off Kalapaki Bay on the island of Kauai, HI serves as the most accurate means of determining what the weather is like.
The weather in Kauai is anything but predictable. The island is known as “the garden island” for good reason… it rains… frequently. In the winter (rainy season), it will tends to rain or at least cloudy pretty often. In the summer months, even when it is generally always sunny and warm, a random stray cloud may pass which causes a short downpour onto any unsuspecting tourist driving around in a convertible.
When first coming to the island and looking at rental cars, I was surprised to find the price of many convertibles prices at about the same price as smaller economy cars… after spending a short time on the island, it all made sense. If you do plan to rent a car on Kauai, opt for a car with a roof and maybe sunroof / moonroof. If you must get a convertible, make sure you are prepared to get soaked in a moments notice.
Adding to the unpredictability is that location plays a huge part in what is happening. It’s not unusal for there to be a steady downpour in Kapa’a, but have it dry in Lihue (a mere 7 miles to the south). Generally speaking, the windward side (north and east) side tend to be rainier then the leeward side (south and west). So when its raining on the east side, it may be dry on the west side whereas up in the mountains where its known as the wettest place on earth, it’s likely to be raining just about all the time.
