From misty mornings in secluded upland forests to brilliant sunny afternoons along the coast, the island of Lana‘i offers a remarkably diverse range of climates.

At 1,650 feet above sea level, Lana‘i City is situated above the agricultural and grazing fields of the plains, but below the 3,370 foot peak of Lana'ihale, the highest point on the island. It enjoys an unusually temperate climate, enhanced by the giant, old Cook Island pines that shade the town. The nights are cool and the days are pleasantly warm with light breezes.

In contrast, the lower plains and beaches offer typically sunny coastal weather. If you're looking for a change in weather from the cool upcountry atmosphere of Lana‘i City on any given day, simply head for the beach and the warm, sunny conditions of Manele.

The rainy season usually occurs during the first three to four months of the year, but is generally interspersed with long interludes of sunshine. Only rarely does Hawai'i experience continuous downpours.
