More Valuable Information on HiCentral
The city of Honolulu, located along the island of Oahu’s south shore, is the largest and capital city of Hawaii. This city has been designated as the 46th most-populous place in Hawaii with a population of about 405,500. The highest point in Oahu is Mount Ka'ala standing at over 4,000 feet, and the lowest point is the Pacific Ocean.
At the mere mention of the word “Hawaii”, it’s easy to envision a crystal clear ocean packed to the brim with surfers, wakeboarders, and tourists. While Honolulu does offer some top-notch water sports, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. For one-of-a-kind Oahu views, make the hike to the top of Diamond Head—a 350-acre volcanic crater. Waikiki Beach provides visitors with soft sands and great surf. Not only is Honolulu the perfect place for a day at the beach, there are many attractions to enjoy away from the gorgeous waters. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are always worth a visit on a non-beach day.
Honolulu has a warm and mild temperature with an average of 154 sunny days yearly. The hottest time in the summer is from July to September around 85°F, while the coldest time in winter is January around 65°F. Honolulu receives an average of 17 inches of rain annually, but don’t expect snow on this island, as Honolulu gets no snowfall.
