if you didn’t realize it by now, the weather report is always wrong. so many tourist that come to hawaii look at the weather forecast and it usually looks like this:
shocking! i would be shocked too if i booked a lifetime trip to paradise and the weather forecast looks like this! let me explain: in hawaii, we have what we call “trade wind” weather. it’s when the north/east winds come over the tall mountains. the same tall mountains that attract clouds. clouds turn into rain. so if you look at the mountains every morning, you will see rain. i know this all to well because i live in the mountains. it rains every single night and most mornings. but come 8am, it’s sunny.
so sunny that it is blazing hot. hot sun, but cool winds. what more could you ask for? this very morning, i drove out of the raining valley and ended up at the super blue sky beach in 15 minutes.
then when i drive home, i can see the clouds over the mountains. i know it’s going to rain and produce the most colorful rainbow.
i live in these mountains. like i said, i rains everyday. no need to water plants, no need air conditioning, and no need wash your car. unless you wash your car so often like me and watch it rain right when you’re done wiping it down. i use to get go upset, but now i just laugh when it happens. haha.
then drive out of the valley and see the blue sky again. that’s why i love my house so much. it’s very cool and when i want to get hot, i just drive 10 minutes to the nearest beach. can’t beat it!
back to the weather forecast. the state of hawaii has to put rain in the forecast because it actually rains almost everyday in the mountains. but if you live near the beach or stay in waikiki, you will most likely not feel a drop of rain all day long. so don’t be fooled by the weather report. just come to hawaii and if it does rain, get out your cameras because a beautiful rainbow will follow. enjoy!
