Your coming over at a great time...you didn't say what island your going to. On Oahu where I am..the windwind side most always had the trade winds and is cooler that the west side. The No. Shore also has a wonderful wind and is cooler. Maui is generally warmer by at least 5 degrees. So if it's 75 on Oahu it will be 80/82 on Maui. On Big Island the Kona coast will be warmer also..but the month of October is a mild month. You will get your showers on the windward sides but they last a few minutes and then they are gone.
I think your coming in a wonderful month!
Aloha

Weather in Hawaii is pretty decent all year long! Ok it is awesome. I have been 6 times once in Oct. The weather there is generally in the high 70's and low 80's. The water is warm and great for swimming! If your going to Oahu your gonna have a blast. I have some other info that I wanted to add for ya!
Must See Attractions
Paradise Cove Luau - Best on the Island
Polynesian Cultural Center - North Shore
Diamond Head - Cause everyone's doing it
Waikiki- Can't go to hawaii and miss the strip
Manoa Falls - An easy hike with views and feel of the jungle and it's free!
Hanuama Bay - Best tourist snorkeling in the islands!
Drive the Pali Highway and go to the lookout
Makiki Heights drive - Tourists don't find this gem and it's amazing! MUST SEE. Check your map to get to Makiki Heights. Great views of the island
Restaurants: There are tons of restaurants in Waikiki. If you are young and like to drink then drink b/4 you go out! The Pacific Beach Hotel has drink specials all week long and there a good deal. There are Mai Tai specials all over but DIXIES has the screamin Mai TAi which comes in a 32 oz glass and is about 6 bucks!!! Good Eats there too! For cheaper eats go outside of town over towards the Kaneohe side. If you do want to eat in Waikiki then i would highly recommend that you go to www.entertainment.com and buy the book for hawaii. This coupon book will save you a ton on the island! Seriously everytime i go i get the book and use all the 2-1 deals in it! Check ebay for it too sometimes you can get it dirt cheap!
Hotels; Best hotel for the money is the Ocean Resort Hotel on the east end of the strip. Very close to the beach, decent rooms, service is good and you will pay under a 100 a night for most rooms and the parking is much cheaper than the other hotels!
My take on Oahu, . I just can't get enough of that place! I have been 6 times and I have found enough on Oahu to do that i haven't even ventured out to the other islands yet! Here are some things in Waikiki and around the island to do;Dukes is def cool and right on the beach, and if you want to dance with the youngsters you can head over to scruples. There are a ton of eating places down on the strip but the real hawaii is out of town. Take the bus or drive up to manoa and experience the rainforest and a natural waterfall! Take a trip to the north shore and go to waimaia valley and see some of the most spectacular fauna anywhere! If you adventurous hike along the ridges and see paradise from 4000 feet! I did that and loved every second of it..ok well it was more like 8 hours of it but anyway..lol. Diving and snorkeling are pretty awesome too! Hanuama bay is touristy and with good reason. You are guaranteed to see tons of fish and have a nice afternoon at a beautiful beach! Diving can be done just off shore and runs around 100 bucks for 2 tanks and you don't need to be experienced. Not far out of town you can jetski or parasail. Wouldn't really bother with the jetskiing cause they have too many rules in hawaii but the parasailing is something you should atleast try once. After that it gets kind of boring. In town the international market place is def cool and worth strolling through...a tip..go to all the kiosks and then go back and don't be affraid to barter..that's how it works there! On the weekend a really cool thing to do it go to aloha stadium for a huge flea market!!! I mean huge the tents go all around the stadium and everything you find for suviners in waikiki you will find there for way i mean way cheaper!! Oh one last thing, you have to go to a luau and the paradise cove luau is the best. oh crap...just thought of something else that will help you out. Go to Entertaiment.com and buy the book for hawaii and it will give you so many discount coupons it will pay for it self right away. I did and it worked great. Don't forget that part..really do it you won't be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in waikiki which is really expensive.I have been to hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it cause you won't forget it! Aloha!

Starting with summer, from May through mid-October, daytime temperatures are in the 80s and night times from the low 70s to the low 80s. Consistent trade winds keep summer temperatures tolerable. Konas can blow in from the south or west and bring humid, sticky, or sweltering weather and thun-derstorms. Showers are short. Days are longer.
Winter runs from mid-October through April. During this period, rains are more frequent, longer and more intense, even on leeward coasts. Daytime temperatures at sea level are in the mid-70s to low 80s. Nighttime temperatures run from the low 60s to the low 70s. Trade winds that usually blow in from the northeast are somewhat erratic and in February, may actually cease for a few weeks.

small world, me and my hubby went to Maui and Honolulu for our honeymoon in october. its not likely to be below 80'F
The islands have different climates, you'd be surprised. Maui was much more warm most of the time, though there were no clouds and you have to squint most of the time. You can literly sleep on the beach the whole night in Maui.
Honolulu was alittle colder though, it had a little mist of a rain about 2 days of the 5 we were there.
The Big Island "Hawaii" has about four different climates, depending on where you go. Hilo is always wet, Kona is very hot, most always, but theres more activities. There is a mountain on the Big Island where people actually snowboard and ski, its i believe about 14,000 elevation. Search the web for more info.

It depends on what island/part of Hawaii you're on. In Cabo, I know it is very, very nice, but the sea is kind of rocky at that time and there is little that you can do in the water.
You can check average temps and conditions from The Weather Channel.

Great! I think that is one of the best times to go...crowds gone, weather not so hot (but still balmy in the 70-80's). You may get some rain, but it tinkles and then goes away, sky clears and you never would have known it rained! Mahalo!
