Forecasting your Princeville, Kauai vacation
Kauai’s dry season runs from April to October and its wet season from November to March, but you can expect consistent temperatures throughout the year, with highs in the mid-80s and lows in the mid-70s. And though the Garden Isle can owe its verdant landscape to plenty of rainfall—it’s the wettest of the Hawaiian islands—showers never stick around for too long.
