POPULAR HAWAII
EQUABLE CLIMATE If only one theme could be selected to explain the popularity of Hawaii, it would lie in the much overworked word “climate,” for it is the everlasting sunshine of perpetual summer and evenly distributed rain that garb the mountains and valleys in their eternal verdure, that produce the great sugarcane and pineapple crops. It is the equable climate, varying only a few degrees throughout the year, which imbues the natives with their proverbial hospitality and friendliness. It is the constant temperature which allows for light-weight clothing that provides life in the open air all the year; that makes for healthful contentment. Summer in Hawaii is much cooler and more comfortable than in many more temperate countries. The thermometer in Honolulu rarely goes above 85 degrees, and this is tempered by trade winds off the ocean. Summer is especially timely, for travellers from New Zealand and Australia, because it is winter then in the Antipodes. but generally speaking it makes little difference when travellers visit Hawaii —the islands are always beautiful and fascinating.
