Roofing in Kona: Climate & Local Conditions
Kona sees 25 inches of rain per year and stable year-round temperatures (88°F summer / 65°F winter). Kailua-Kona sits on the Big Island's sunny leeward coast with one of the driest, sunniest climates in Hawaii — but downwind volcanic emissions from Kilauea can deposit acidic vog on metal surfaces. The most common roofing issues in Kona are UV degradation, dry heat, occasional volcanic vog, and coastal wind. A smaller Hawaii community of about 11,975 residents.
