How warm is it in Honolulu during May?
The temperature is extremely stable in May with average highs of 26℃ and lows just 4℃ lower at 23℃. Of course, the high humidity will make it feel even hotter. The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Honolulu during May?
On average, there will be 2 rainy days during the month, amounting to 65.2mm in total. That's broadly comparable with the amount of rain we see in England during the summer months, and would be considered dry. You're not likely to see a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Honolulu during May?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during May. The high humidity and warm temperature will make the breeze feel warm, so any cooling effect will be limted.
