Signs of Spring

While the only two distinguishing seasons on O’ahu, Hawai’i are summer, spanning from May to October, and winter, spanning from November to April, there are some things to take note of at the typical dates season are meant to change. The weather doesn’t change much, but where I live on the east side of O’ahu, the rainfall increases and the weather becomes humid during the day and clear and cooler at night. Most plants grow year-round, but some plants that bloom specifically in the spring season include Jacaranda trees, which are tall trees that often grow up to 40ft tall, and are abundant in delicate lilac blossoms.

The tree that I visited is in my neighborhood and it on a slight slope. The natural habitat of the Jacaranda tree includes bushlands, grasslands, wooded ravines, and riverbanks.
