The year, day by day
The calendar barely moves in Kanalohuluhulu: no date carries a normal high of 90°F or a normal low at freezing. The year runs between 47°F near January 24 and 73°F near August 7.
No freezing date
Not one calendar date in the 1991–2020 record carries a normal low at or below 32°F. The coldest normal low of the year is 47°F around January 24.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is December 4, when 60% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is August 26 at 43%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 187 wet dates a year.
The widest day
February 3 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 18°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Kanalohuluhulu Stands Nationally
This is one of the wettest normals climates ranked: about 57 inches of precipitation in a normal year, a total fewer than one station in ten surpasses.
Among the steadiest day-night climates ranked: even the widest normal daily swing holds to roughly 18°F.
Kanalohuluhulu earns 2 nationally notable standings (outer quintiles) against 6,860 NOAA 1991–2020 normals stations; only those extremes render.

Kanalohuluhulu's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 41% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 11%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows an unusually narrow 8.7°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 9.6"
- Driest month
- July, 1.8"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, March (43% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
How Kanalohuluhulu's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 188 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 57.3" between them, or roughly 0.31 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Kanalohuluhulu's record shows no measurable snowfall
This station measured snowfall across the 1991-2020 period and recorded none: the annual normal is 0.0 inches. That is a measured zero rather than missing data, which is a meaningful distinction here , most stations in the database simply do not report snow at all, and those pages say nothing about it.
A thirty-year normal of zero describes the typical year at this station. It is not a claim that snow has never fallen in the area.

Data-derived climate profile
How Kanalohuluhulu's climate pattern fits together
heating led · wet · low swing
Heating is the larger measured load in Kanalohuluhulu, at 1,680 degree days versus 60 for cooling. Unlike a strongly continental record, however, its 8.7°F month-to-month range is compact; persistent cool-season demand matters more than a dramatic summer-to-winter reversal.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Kanalohuluhulu. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
Kanalohuluhulu's 8.7°F seasonal spread is compact even though precipitation is abundant. August and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar. The annual average is 61°F. Temperature is relatively steady; the monthly rows show how rain and snow observations vary across the calendar.
Alongside its heating load, Kanalohuluhulu carries 57.3 inches of precipitation in a normal year, inside PlainClimate's wet range. Recorded annual snowfall is negligible. That distinction matters because a wet annual total can arrive as rain, snow, or a mixture at different times.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Kanalohuluhulu's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Kanalohuluhulu, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Kanalohuluhulu's primary station: KANALOHULUHULU 1075 (USC00513099). For informational purposes only.
Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Kanalohuluhulu; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Kanalohuluhulu comes from its primary NOAA station record.
