Why are the eastern sides of the Hawaiian islands wetter than the western sides?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
The prevailing winds in Hawaii are from the east. Winds arriving from that direction have accumulated a large burden of water as they blow across the open ocean. As they reach the islands the air hits the mountains and must rise. That causes the temperature to fall and water to condense out as rain. By the time the same air reaches the western sides of the islands it has lost much of that water, and has dropped down from the mountains, becoming warmer and thus reducing its relative humidity. As a result the east gets much more rain than the western side.
