i traveled ony ones in Hawaii and for me it was an amazing experience because i traveled there with my family and a few friends so that i can have fun with theme and party hard.My favorit parts were the cocktails and beaches.
But depending on the island and which part of the island it varies greatly, you have many microclimates. Honolulu, for example averages only 17"/year, but Waimea Falls Park gets 54". Here in Sammamish, WA we get 64", so anywhere on Oahu is less. Maui ranges from 17" at Makena State Park to over 79" in Hana. When we were there last it was just brief, but heavy showers. In the NW corner of our state Forks, WA gets 110", matched in Hawaii only by Hilo on the Big Island. So you see why people here in Washington like to vacation in Hawaii even in your rainy season.
God, no wonder.
I didn’t realize it was that much there.
I have some friends who, in the 90s, moved from Danville to Hana (the husband went to work on a property that his father owned), and they lasted for six months.
Their number one issue was the amount of rain, and number two was the price of groceries.

Every major island has residental areas that see more measurable rain than Forks, WA.
There is a location along the road to Hana that is quite wet, can't remember the name of the place. Anyway, they see 150".
Windward big island is most notorious for rainfall because pretty much everywhere there gets a lot. Upslope locations along Hamakua coast and Glenwood in the Puna district receive 200+ inches per year.
That said, the wet PNW locations probably have more overcast skies and minutes of rain per year than most if not all Hawaii locations. Certainly that would be true in comparison to Hana.
For folks coming from California, most places in Hawaii (and just about anywhere else in the country) will seem wet in comparison.
Hawaii is a captivating destination that offers a unique blend of stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and diverse activities. With its pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and iconic volcanic landscapes, the islands provide breathtaking scenery and outdoor adventures such as snorkeling, hiking, and surfing. The vibrant local culture, encompassing hula performances, traditional luaus, and historical sites like Pearl Harbor, provides a deep sense of place and history. From the bustling city life of Honolulu to the serene tranquility of Maui's sunsets, Hawaii's charm lies in its ability to cater to a wide range of interests, making it a top-notch choice for a memorable and enriching vacation.
