Last updated: September 24, 2026
Hawaii, an island paradise, includes the major metro of Urban Honolulu. Its tropical climate is warm and humid year-round. There are two main seasons: the dry season (May to October) and the wet season (November to April). The consistent humidity and occasional heavy rains require specific considerations for home remodeling projects.
