Hawaii Weather - Trade winds

Trade winds are quite common in Hawaii. The prevailing winds blow from east to west over the mainland. On the other hand, in the mountainous areas the windward side of the mountains prevents the moist air from the Pacific to move to the leeward side. Hence, the windward sides of the mountains are cooler and wetter than the leeward side. However, the weather in Hawaii is perfect for vacations, throughout the year.
