Living on O‘ahu

The island of O‘ahu is referred to as “The Gathering Place,” and offers some of the most stunning sights and exciting recreational opportunities anywhere in the world. O‘ahu is home to more than 100 miles of coastal beaches, and provides residents and visitors alike a distinctive blend of Honolulu’s cosmopolitan outlets and resources, along with laid-back surf towns and gorgeous nature.

Island Weather:

O‘ahu is the driest out of the main Hawaiian islands when it comes to the weather. With the shining sun year-long most of the time, usually along the coast, you can’t have a bad weather day. The Gathering Places’ temperatures range from 80-89°F for the high and 65-75°F for the low. The annual precipitation only gets to about 3 inches, in the Honolulu area. Like the other main Hawaiian islands, when it does rain, it is very short-lived during the winter months (November-March).
