Every island in Hawaii will have their own individual reasons for why someone will want to buy real estate in those areas. The weather is great all over Hawaii all year round, so that will most likely not be the reason. However, there are several variations in weather depending on what part of the island a person is on. Nearer to the ocean will give much cooler temperatures. Places more farther out from the ocean will have much warmer temperatures. If a home buyer makes a decision to buy a home near the beaches, it could be that they love the cooler temperatures. Finding the right home may have everything to do with the weather, especially if someone is making their decision based on weather conditions. It is a good idea to know the different weather patterns on each island. Some will get more rain than other parts of the islands. Other islands will get more dry weather and heat. If a person wants to live in a more wetter climate in Hawaii, it would be a good idea to look for real estate in those areas. 

Kauai is just such an island. The rain that it receives throughout the year has made it some of the most lushest and green rainforests that gave it its name of Garden Island. The whole island from Hanalei, Kapapp, and Poipu are filled with lush green tropical rainforests. This would be the ideal place to live for people who count on wet climates. The farther west that people go, the weather climate will change drastically. The west side of Kauai is as dry as a bone. The west side consists of Kekaha and Waimea. The climate in this area is much drier and does not have the lush green tropical forests. The microclimates in Hawaii are mystical. It could be raining in one area, but only five miles away it is as dry as a desert. 

The bigger islands of Hawaii are effected by many climates. Kona is just one of the islands that are a part of a bigger island area. Kona has a totally different climate than most of Hawaii. It does not rain much at all in Kona, in fact the coffee industry that Kona is most known for could not survive with anything more than a small gust of wind. Most places in Hawaii experience more than just minor gusts of wind, but because Kona sits next to the Mauna Loa volcano, it is protected by its largeness. Mauna Loa keeps most of the wind away from Kona. That is why the area was chosen for its fields to grow coffee plants. The wind must travel a long way up the Mauna Loa mountain to the other side. By the time it reaches Kona, the wind has lost all of its power. The mild gentle breezes that the Mauna Loa turns the wind into is what helps to cultivate the coffee fields. People who are looking to buy a home may choose Kona for the mild gentle breezes.
