Climate Insight: Barking Sands, HI
An annual average temperature of 76°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 84°F to a mean daily low of 69°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Barking Sands, Hawaii. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while February is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USW00022501 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Rainfall (and snow, where it falls) shapes day-to-day life here as much as temperature does. Barking Sands sees about 17.8 inches of precipitation a year, with negligible snowfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. On the energy side, 0 heating degree days and 4,056 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Barking Sands scores 72/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Shoulder seasons bring the mildest highs and lows in the monthly tables above, summer brings August-driven heat, and winter brings February-driven cold - use that rhythm for planning. These figures are thirty-year averages rather than forecasts, so a specific year may still run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than what's shown.
