Climate Insight: Paauilo, HI
The NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals describe Paauilo, Hawaii as a location with an annual average temperature of 71°F, ranging from a mean daily high of 80°F to a mean daily low of 61°F. August is typically the warmest month of the year, while March is the coldest. These thirty-year averages, computed from station USC00517312, smooth out year-to-year variability and give a baseline expectation for typical conditions in any given month.
Paauilo averages 90.4 inches of precipitation a year, with negligible snowfall, and that matters as much to daily life here as temperature does. Growing-season length varies with elevation and microclimate. As for energy demand, heating and cooling demand reflects the combined cost of keeping interiors comfortable year-round.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Paauilo scores 72/100 (Good), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. The monthly tables above turn that into a planning tool: expect the mildest highs and lows in the shoulder seasons, August-driven heat at the peak of summer, and March-driven cold at the depth of winter. Every number here is a thirty-year average, not a forecast, so any given year can and does run warmer, cooler, wetter, or drier than the normal.
