| Does it rain on North
Shore? The rain situation is hard to predict. Adrianna and I lived
in the condo from August 2000 to August 2001 remodeling it, so
we experienced all of the seasons. It is normal for north shore
Kauai to have delightful trade showers at night throughout the
year. This is how the area gets most of its annual rainfall and
it makes for great sleeping with the windows open to the sound
of the rain and surf. Temperatures run from lows in the mid sixties
to highs to the low eighties. The winter temperatures will drop
about three degrees across the board. |

When it rains, I
mean really rains in the Hawaiian Islands few areas are immune.
Low-pressure systems come up from the south and cause sheer lines
to hit the landmasses with a vengeance. A good example of this
was during the month of January 2002. Adrianna and I were at our
Kauai home for a month. We had incredible weather for the first
three weeks but during the last week a sheer line hit. The Hanalei
area got about four inches in three days. The big island got sixteen
inches in 24 hours. A weather system like this can certainly happen
but is rare. |
| Of course Adrianna
and I are not the best people to discuss island weather with because
we are mesmerized by north shore's beauty in the rain or shine.
The temperature remains in the seventies and an incredible gift
of colors and waterfalls unfold. It is hard for me to explain so,
allow me to describe it with a few pictures. |
