What drying runs into in Kailua
Serving Kailua and the surrounding area, including Honokōhau, Komohana Kai, Hillcrest, Alii Kai, Kamakana Viillages at Keahuolu, Villages of Laʻiʻopua - Village 5, Pualani Estates, Malulani Gardens.
Local housing stock
The typical Kailua house dates to 1985, with close to three fifths of the stock (60.2 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1980s work. The median house dates to 1985 and six in ten predate 1990, single-wall and frame construction raised on posts with metal roofing, so the framing is largely exposed to the room and the drying is done at the floor structure beneath.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Kailua gets 47.65 inches a year with June heaviest at 5.42, and the drying season runs from a 73.3-degree January to a 79.8-degree August; rain recorded at LANIHAU 68.2 2.7 miles away and temperatures at KE-AHOLE PT 68.13 7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.42 inches out of 47.65 for the year, with January lows near 66 degrees and no freezing month, so the rain is spread through the year rather than concentrated and the air never becomes dry enough to finish a job.
How water losses tend to end in Kailua
- Rain spread evenly through the year, so there is no dry season to schedule a job into
- Raised post floors over ground that stays warm and damp beneath
- Exposed single-wall framing that re-wets easily unless the area is closed off
