You've read it right barbdirects about November (and March) being the traditionally rainy season.

When these rains come, it doesn't matter what part of the islands you are on, it all gets wet (sometimes even more so on the traditionally sunnier parts).

Having said all of that, however, last year the first rains didn't come until December, so November was dry, sunny and wonderful.

With Hawaii yah pays yer money-yah takes yer chances.

We've been going over Novs/Decs/Jans since '89 and most of the times no probs.

One trip of 21 days was basically rain free.

We've had friends go over during traditional non rainy season and got 3-4 straight days of rain.
Go figger.

November is in the rainy season.

Most of the rain is on the windward (east) side of the islands & in the mountains. It can rain all day, but mostly just passing nightime or morning showers.

The resort areas like Waikiki, Kona, Kaanapali & South Maui get very little rain even in the rainy season.

November is the start of humpback whale season.

Because it is rainy season, the waterfalls are much better & the rainbows are plentiful.

Lots of info including sites with free brochures for all islands:
