Much of the rain falls at night, on the windward side of the islands, and inland around the mountain peaks. The odds are high that rain will not ruin your vacation. In spring and summer showers are few. Summer is Hawaii's dry season and most parts of the state where tourists stay receive virtually no rain then. Sometimes August can be hot and humid but otherwise summer months are usually dry and gorgeous. Rain is heaviest from November through March but, even then it is usually brief showers and won't spoil a vacation. Remember, that if it's raining where you are, you can often find sunshine with just a short drive unless a large weather front is over the islands. In that case, you may get away from the rain but you will still be unable to find sun.
