The annual weather in Waianae has hot, muggy, and dry summers and wet winters. Waianae is located on the drier side of Oahu with minimal rainfall during May and June and more rain in January with an average of 2.8 inches total throughout the 31 days; despite Waianae being drier, like the rest of Oahu, Waianae is muggy and humid year-round. The temperatures range from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to 90 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, rarely going above those maximum or minimum temperatures. Based on data over the years, the temperature peaks on August 20, and the coldest day is around January 30.

The Wai‘anae mountain range is the oldest area of volcanic activity on the island, and at just over 4,000 feet, the highest peak on Oahu, Mount Ka‘ala, attests to those volcanic beginnings. The name Wai‘anae is comprised of two Hawaiian words: wai meaning water and ‘anae meaning large mullet, fish that were once produced in large quantities by Native Hawaiians in brackish-water pools. The legend of the ancient demigod, Maui, says he and his grandmother Hina lived in Kaneana cave in Wai‘anae.

The Native Hawaiians of Wai‘anae became a prosperous fishing village – perhaps because of Maui’s influence on the land and sea. In the early 1800s, with the arrival of James Cook and other traders from Europe and America, Waianae’s sandalwood trees became a valued crop. But other crops were neglected, and foreign diseases were introduced, causing the local population to plummet. In the late 1800s, a railroad was built, connecting Wai‘anae to Honolulu and facilitating the establishment of the Waianae Sugar Plantation in 1878. Immigrants from around the world settled in Wai‘anae to work on the sugar plantation. With its closure in 1946, the commercialization on the Wai‘anae coast mostly ceased, leading to the reemergence of abundant wildlife that is seen today.
