Wow! What a gray and rainy day it has been today on Oahu! If you just now arrived on the island of Oahu and you were hoping to escape the winter weather at home you may now be thinking that your pilot landed on the wrong island.

Today Oahu is covered by one big rain cloud and the entire island is actually under a flash flood warning. Hawaii is usually sunny even in the winter, but rainfall in the winter months are Hawaii’s “snow.” Local residents welcome it because the island is dry for most of the year and a weather change is exciting.

If you are here on vacation right now and you are little upset of the weather, don’t be. Hawaii offers plenty of activities that don’t need sunshine - you can go shopping, try local foods at one of the island’s many restaurants, take a tour, visit an evening show, a museum or a historic attraction, such as Pearl Harbor.

This is how Hawaii can look like
