What November feels like
November is when Hilo lives up to its reputation and the streams come up fast; the Wailuku River can go from clear to chocolate in an hour. Whales return to the channel at the end of the month, and the Christmas lights go up early around Kalakaua Park.
This is the wet season: rain on about 17 days, so pack accordingly. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 80° — bath-warm.
