Can't say too much about weather in all areas, but wife and I were in Hilo Jan 2005 and we were told and read 'Oh it rains all the time', it didn't. The temp was between 70-80 and cool & breezy..Made the mistake of only taking jeans, so we were quite hot.Would advise you take shorts and thin tops.We bought a lovely house in Hawaiian Paradise Park,great landscaping in older house. All the new homes seemed to have no grass just horrible looking gravel. We did check out some new houses in 'Lelani esates',some beautiful homes there but very sticky heat, with nasty Mosquitoes, ouch. NOTE: 3 new houses we viewed had thick mold growing on doors and cuboards.'HPP' rocks in my opinion.
