What Hawaii Vol NP HQ's climate means for you
Hawaii Vol NP HQ runs 62°F a year - peaking in August, coldest in February.
These are 30-year NOAA normals (1991–2020) - the typical year, not a forecast for any specific season.
An annual average temperature of 62°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 70°F to a mean daily low of 53°F is what the NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals report for Hawaii Vol NP HQ, Hawaii. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while February is the coldest. That baseline comes from station USC00511303 and thirty years of averaging, so it reflects a typical month rather than any one year's swings.
Precipitation patterns matter as much as temperature for anyone planning to live, garden, or travel here. Hawaii Vol NP HQ receives roughly 96.2 inches of precipitation each year, with negligible snowfall. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. For energy use, 1,281 heating degree days and 86 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Hawaii Vol NP HQ scores 72/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for August-driven heat, or deep winter for February-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
