Whats the highest temperature ever recorded in Hawaii?
The Aloha State s record high temperature of 100°F was set at Pahala, on the south side of the Big Island, on April 27, 1931. Thanks to the moderating influence of the surrounding Pacific Ocean, temperatures above the low 90s in Hawaii are unusual. Hawaii s all-time high is unusually cool — every other state s record high is above 100°F, with the exception of Alaska, which also has an all-time high of just 100°F. Our state weather snapshot and this Hawaii climate summary (pdf) from the National Climatic Data Center have more about the weather in paradise.
