Show Why Weather In Hawaiian Islands Ideal Why is the weather of the Hawaiian Islands practically ideal? THE MUCH-famed climate of the Pacific vacation islands is caused by their location (latitude) (lati-tude) and the huge mass of water wa-ter surrounding them, and the typography of the land itself. The ocean area provides a constant temperature since it does not give up its heat as readily as a land mass. The latitude lati-tude (about that of Cuba) promises warmth. The breezes from the sea in daytime and down the mountain slopes at night insure comfortable temperatures tem-peratures rather than excessive exces-sive heat. THUS THE combination of low mountains (these conditions condi-tions pertain to Oahu particularly particu-larly and to most of the other islands generally), ocean mass, latitude, prevailing winds and other factors contribute contri-bute to the amazing constancy of Hawaii's good weather. |
