All Months
April through October gives you the best shot at dry weather, but 'dry' in Hilo means 10 inches of rain instead of 15. The trade winds blow strongest in summer, which keeps things comfortable despite the humidity. Winter brings bigger surf to the east side beaches, but also more storms. Here's what locals know: mornings are almost always clearer than afternoons. Plan your waterfall hikes and volcano drives before 2 PM when the clouds roll in. The farmers market runs year-round, but summer brings the best variety of tropical fruits.
