My husband and I came to the big island in September for two weeks for ten years. The first time I stepped off the plane I fell in love with the place. I wanted to move here and I hated to leave each time I had to go back to SF and my job. The weather was always wonderful, the water was always just the right temperature and mostly the people were amazing. They were warm and welcoming, helpful and smiling. SF was becoming more cold and unfriendly. Eleven years ago we both retired and moved here and bought a house. I tell everyone I live in Paradise. There is no other place I want to be. This is the best place on earth, a little island in the middle of a great big ocean far enough away from the mainland.
May 3rd- 13th. It was comfortably hot, 2nd degree sunburn, ( duly noted on sunscreen), did not use A/C at our resort, lychee was delicious at the Kona market as were the Shaka Tacoz! You guys are great and Mahola for another great video!
I'm hoping to get more information on the 4th of July. I went to your website but I don't see the info on there. I'm not planning on buying a home in Hawaii, just visiting.
I think it's kinda hard to generalize the conditions on the big island, considering the wide variety of climatic zones encompassed on the big island. I lived (past tense) in Waikola Village all the way down to Keauhou. Besides the elevation, Waikola was much more comfortable due to the lesser humidity and stronger more consistent trade winds. My first "winter" on the big island we lives at Kona Coffee Villas, and at somewhere around 2000 ft elevation the wind coming off the volcanoe was absolutely frigid (50 degrees) 😅. So if it's too hot in Kona, take a trip up to Kameula for the day.
Thanks @Danerskine9862 The title is actually WEST Hawaii..which is, you are right, more indicative of a certain region more than the entire island. And Waikoloa Village can definitely be cooler in the summer due to its elevation and wind!
@@365Hawaii Good to know! Hopefully, the HECO PSPS plan will not be implemented. Moving from SoCal in the near future, so I hope I don't bring any bad mana'o of roaming blackouts/brownouts with me, lol! Mahalo for your response.🤙🏽

We lived in Keaau for 16 years and absolutely loved it there. Moved to Arizona and for medical reasons and can’t stand the heat June to September.
The first time I went to Hawaii, I had just left 102 degrees and 95% humidity in Indiana. It was sooooo much more comfortable in Hawaii.
It is ALL perspective!!
Much like Denver right now. Would much rather be in Hawaii! ❤
Love the breeze in Honolulu 😊
It’s so enjoyable to watch your videos and the information you provide thank you 😊😊😊
Thank you for another fun video! Love watching you two laughing and sharing info. Your love of Kona is contagious!

South Kohala (Mauna Lani) is significantly less humid than Kona - averaging 58% RH so far in June. It's comfortable here year round.
Might be a bit more expensive but doesn't stop us getting there from Toronto😊
Another great informative video from 365 Hawaii.
Thanks Lance!
I want to move to the Big Island! It's been 100 degrees for 4 days here in Florida!!! And it's only June!!!
WOW WOW WOW! That is crazy.
@@365Hawaii Yes it is!!!
Vog can be a factor for some. That's main a BI factor.

www.ParadesInKona.com Parade starts at 6 pm, fireworks at 8 pm and live entertainment and fun place to watch is the new The Temple right on Alii.

We will be in Kona on June 30! Our first time
In the summer so this was awesome information! Love your videos! What are you using for microphones?
Thanks for your input. Microphones are DGI wireless microphones.
had the best lychee/longan fruit ever from the Ali'i farmers market (and cheapest!)
Question: when does the wind gusts the most resulting in Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS)? TIA
Well,,as. you know we had that passing hurricane on August 8th last year..but we don;t have public safety public shut offs on this island.

I always heard the rainy season in HI is November through March?
West Hawaii has a different weather pattern for the most part from other places in the islands. Lately it seems it's rainy from Feb-June!
@@365Hawaii Thanks. Good to know. I usually visit May/June and the weather has been great.
❤
Khon stated last week less than average rainfall for all of Hawaii.
We have had MORE than enough in West Hawaii! Even Kohala is all green right now!
"Oh its soooo hot. The high was 85!" 🙄
