Hawaii weather today

We follow 110 towns and cities in Hawaii, each with NWS, American, European side by side and the days they disagree flagged. Today the three models put highs between 79°F in Hilo and 85°F in Makakilo / Kapolei / Honokai Hale, and at least one model gives a 50% or higher chance of rain in 1 of the 8 places we hold today's forecast for.

Numbers from the forecast run of Saturday, October 3. Open any town for the live, hour-by-hour comparison.

Warmest and coldest use the average of NWS, American, European. "Rain most certain" ranks by the lowest chance among the models that give one (at least two), so a place only makes the list when they agree, and only from 30%. One place per area, so the list spreads across the state.

Estimates from NASA POWER (GEOS-IT weather analysis, FLASHFlux satellite sunlight), not forecasts or station readings. Warmest and coolest are the average daily high. "Sunniest" is the sunlight that reached the ground as a share of what a clear sky would give at that latitude and date (FAO-56 clear-sky formula, approximate). Each value covers an area of about 50 km around the town, so one town per area. Rain is left out because weekly rain estimates differ too much between data sources to rank them honestly. The week ends a few days back because the sunlight data arrives with a delay.

Which forecast is most accurate in Hawaii?

Over the last 30 days we graded the models in 20 Hawaii cities against the recorded weather. The American model was most accurate in 11, the European in 9 of them. No model wins everywhere, which is why each city page names its own winner.
