Today, in the afternoon - was rainy. The morning - not so much. For Oahu, the afternoon was more rain than usual.

Anyway - nothing compared to what was called the 40 days of rain in March 2006 - which was literally, 40 days of torrential rain with very little breaks

Even with the rain, it sounds like a lovely place to be. Wish I was there.

The best airfare deal should be one way $99 from San Jose to Honolulu by Alaska Air under certain condition.

April starts to get hot but tolerable. Best time to come is February and March.

So far there is no Coronavirus case known in Hawaii. But somehow only 6 people have been tested so far.

Since I booked last month, my ticket was already cheap enough, and I'm finding through a recent search that prices have gone down by an average of about $20 per roundtrip ticket from where I am; I booked for $630 roundtrip from the DC area.

What I'm more interested in is the affect of the virus scare on hotel prices. I've already seen a drop in prices (some significant), so will almost certainly cancel my current booking (free cancellation until the end of April) and book elsewhere. Currently, folks are canceling their stays at the Hale Koa, as I'm seeing room openings for early June when previously the month was booked solid as recently as January. If enough days open up for early June, I'll probably end up staying there.
I canceled my original hotel booking (for just under $1,500) and rebooked at another location for just under $1,100. With the long term free cancellation policies, I'll continue to look for better deals before my trip.

Most of the Google search results are articles that are a bit vague. I have also searched this forum with key words like "April, weather, spring time and Spam Jam", but can't seem to find anything.

My girlfriend and I would like to visit Oahu during the third week of April so we can also attend the Spam Jam festival (I love Spam). We were wondering if there is usually a lot of rain during that time. I have visited Oahu at least 8 times throughout my life but I have never been there during April. Can anyone please tell me what the typical weather is like near the end of April?

Thank you in advance.


Its cooler and less humidity than in summer and fall. Temps get up in the 80's during the day with scattering of rain showers.

Spam Jam has been officially cancelled.

Waikiki is essentially turning into a ghost town.

Things are definitely looking more grim. Might actually postpone the trip until the situation clears.

I would 100% cancel.

I'm sure very soon - bars/restaurants/pools/tours close.
