The Summer months can see temperatures as high as 90 degrees, but the average temperature is 85 degrees. The Summer months are during May through October. The Winter months are from November through April. The temperatures have been as low as 10 degrees but only at night. The average temperature during the day is 78 degrees which is not much different than the Summer months. Yet, during the Winter Hawaii will experience the most rain. Flooding is not uncommon.

There are several little islands that belong to Hawaii. Depending on which side you live on will depend on how much dry or wet weather you will get. Typically, when you live on the windward side which is the northeast side you will get the most rain and the coolest weather. This happens since the winds are coming from the northeast. The driest parts of the island will be the southwest area of the islands. The southwest side is called the leeward side since the winds die down and the rains tend to lighten by the time it gets to the southwest side of the islands.

Hurricanes do not happen as often you may think. The last major hurricane that hit Hawaii was in 1991 which was the most severe hitting Inko, Kauai, and parts of Ohau. For the most part, hurricanes do not hit Hawaii. They may get heavy winds, but nothing too strong to destroy the islands.

If you are looking for a place to go on vacation that has the most reasonable and consistent weather then think about going to Hawaii. If you want to visit the higher elevations of the island then be sure to dress appropriately with pants and a sweater since it can get rather cold up there depending on what time of year you go. It doesn't just have natural beauty but it offers great weather.

Taking rail transportation is typically not bad. Most railways will not run through the poor areas of the country. They usually have air conditioning and luxury conditions for tourists. You can take the Great Indian Orient Express which is known for offering tourists special packaged rates in order for them to ride their train.

If you are traveling to a rural area you may have to take a bus and these buses are without air conditioning. The reason I continue to mention air conditioning is because India is a very humid and hot country especially during the summer months. It can reach above 100 degrees easily. Not only are most of these buses without a/c, they are filled with plenty of hot and sweaty stinky bodies. The more they cram onto the bus the more the company will make so they don't care if people sit real close to each other or if others have to stand. Buses with air conditioning can be found in tourist areas. They make sure tourists are well taken care of.

A friend of mine who is from India travels there every couple of years to visit family who happen to live in very rural areas. She travels on the plane and then has to take a two hour train ride to only get into a taxi that takes another two or three hours. From there, she has to pick up another bus which can take about another hour or two. The entire trip can take anywhere from two to three days depending on how reliable the transportation is.

When you go to India simply try to stay in the main city tourist areas. If you want to explore India in a way that the residents do on a daily basis then you better be prepared to suffer the heat. Be ready to walk a lot and eat very little. My recommendation is to go during the winter months so you won't get so hot to the point of almost fainting. Get to know the culture as well because there will be many people following you and staring since they will know you are American from your appearance.
