Poipu’s Climate |
| Kauai is a Hawaiian island
of seven micro climates ranging from dry
desert to tropical rain forest. Poipu Beach
has a semi-arid tropical climate. The near-by
Haupu Mountain range blocks most prevailing
showers. The average annual rainfall in
Poipu is 34 inches. By comparison, Miami
receives 55 inches. In the winter, daytime
temperatures in Poipu range from the mid
70's to the lower 80's. Nighttime temperatures
are in the low to mid 60's. In the summer,
daytime temperatures go as high as the upper
80's, and during the night, down into the
low 70's. When showers make it into the
Poipu area, they are usually brief. We always
recommend wearing natural fiber clothing
such as cotton which is most comfortable
in the tropics. We also recommend packing
a sweater or jacket and long pants to take
on trips up into the mountains, where the
air, at 4,000 feet, is cooler. Our prevailing
trade winds provide a natural cooling effect
most of the time. |
