The minute for the photo in Honolulu

Low clouds are closing off the horizon today, blocking the light that would catch the high clouds, so the best light is the low sun, as soon as it breaks through. Have your camera ready at 6:47 AM, 13 minutes after sunrise.

Aim east-southeast, at 107°, which is where the sun will be at that moment.

How pretty will today's sunrise be in Honolulu

Today's score is 23 out of 100.

The sky today is not very favorable for color. It will be a muted sunrise.

Today we expect 100% cloud cover in Honolulu (100% low and 98% high), with 98% humidity and 0.8 km visibility at sunrise. The score is worked out from those. How to read the sky.

Why this score?

What today's sky readings say about colour. It is a forecast, not a promise.

  • The sky is almost covered: there is little gap for the light to come through.
  • Rain is likely at that time.
  • Visibility is low: the haze takes away contrast.
  • Humidity is very high: the air turns hazy and dulls the colours.
