About Molokai - Weather & Climate
Molokai weather is wonderful year round, with temperatures averaging about 75°F and rarely going
6 or 7 degrees above or below.. In winter (Dec. thru Mar.), the night time temeratures may drop to the lower 60s and you're more likely to experience a rainy day.

Spring, summer and fall are all very similar with warm days (up to 85°F) cooled by the trade winds and pleasant evenings in the mid to lower 70s. However, on those days when the trade winds are calm, the heat and humidity will both rise a notch or two.

Here's some climate data taken at the Molokai Airport. Located at about 21.15°N 157.10°W. Elevation about 449 feet/137m above sea level. Measurements are the prior 25 year averages.

About Molokai - Transportation
(May We Respectfully Suggest………..
In as much as
airfares are lowest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays, we’re suggesting
that those of you lucky enough to have flexibility in your vacation plans
fly over on Thursday and back on Tuesday. This only takes one day out of
the preceding and following weeks, probably saves as much as the extra two
days cost for two people, and provides for a calmer and less crowded airport
experience.) |
Moloka'i airport is known as Hoolehua and the airport code is MKK
